    GSG5 ammo question

    Bought a GSG-5SD recently and haven't shot it yet. I know some .22's are picky about the ammo you put through them. Any particulars that the GSG-5 doesn't perform well with? I have some winchester wildcat high velocity .22lr for it.

      I've never seen Remington (thunderbolt, golden bullet, etc) work well in any gun except a 10/22, and even then it was a pain in the arse to clean compared to something like CCI or Federal.

            Mine's the regular GSG-5 but it eats Fed Bulk, Fed AutoMatch, RGB, and Mini-mags.

              Break it in with CCI, after about 300 rounds, it will shoot any brand. That's what I did with mine.

                    I have a case of aquila high velocity that I've been running through it, I get 2-3 fte's every 100 rounds. Not sure if this is good or bad.
                    I'll bet you have more than 2k worth of guns and I'll bet you have no insurance coverage for them. PM me for help in protecting your investment for only a couple of bucks per year.

                      By mistake I bought some CCI 22 Long ammo and tried to run it.

                      Avoid that specific model of CCI .22 ammo in a semi-auto, it would not cycle my GSG-5 or 10/22.

                      Other CCI, Winchester, Federal have all been fine with only a few FTF / FTE's.

                        Aguila "Sniper SubSonic" runs in my GSG5SD just fine. Good varmint rounds too.
