I'm pretty sure when this company ordered ammo they said "just send anything ya got!".....

and CCI took that quite literally.

Who the **** wants blanks?

Ok so Walmart had nothing for me but I did manage to snag 3 boxes of Win Super X lead free at Big 5 for 12.99 each, ouch! I just didn't want to come away empty handed. Did place an order with palmetto, mirroring RickyRay's order. Thanks!

Is there a rule of thumb to know if 22lr will cycle in a 10/22. Do you look at velocity?

Well... sort of. There's stuff like CCI Quiet that's clearly labeled as unlikely to cycle any semi auto. Then the next fastest is that most match ammo is subsonic (1050 fps is typical, speed of sound's around 1080), and any semi auto rifle pretty much has to run that or people would be cranky.

That being said when you first get it and the rifle's being broken in, you'll most likely be happier with 40gr 1200+ fps ammo. CCI Mini Mag or equivalent. Try it both with a lot of lube and just a little lube and see what yours likes.

Once you have around 500 rounds through it clean it and try shooting groups with some different types and see what your particular rifle is most accurate with.

He heh...I have a couple co-workers that are into WW2 and Civil war re-enactments. They purchase blanks.

Velocity And grain weight factor into whether or not a particular round will cycle a .22 semi-auto. 22's have a very broad range of rounds available .. even a greater range than a 45-70 Govt. or .458 SLOCOM. However, the rifle manufacturers have to design for the heavier rounds, so that the blowback action can be counter acted. A bolt crashing through the back of the receiver would make for a very bad day and possibly even lethal.

This is done by calculating the Bolt Mass primarily .. cocking the hammer and compressing the return spring are secondary. You could probably modify an existing bolt system to cycle an Aguila 20 grain Super Colibre, but that would be inadequate to handle the higher power rounds safety. Even in AR systems, there are 3 different BCG weights (Mass) as well as choices in buffer weight and springs, even though not a blowback system. .22s do not lend themselves to such an easy and elegant access to make such changes easily.

This is really more science than art, and this may be TMI for you .. but if you are interested, here is a Most Excellent treatise on actually calculating bolt mass for blowback systems .. in case you wanna DIY

Thank you! I will read it!

Got an e-mail from Natchez this A.M. Federal Automatch, 325 for $18.99. I think it's starting to break.
