the enigma Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I'm picking up a Ruger 10/22 in a couple of days time, and I'm just after some recommendation for ammo that generally feeds well through a 10/22, and if there's anything I should steer clear of.

Les*1066 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Try CCI or Winchester subs. With any subs, you will need to make sure that you keep the action clean and free from any crud buildup. Semis are not the ideal platform for subsonic rounds - they generally need a bit of oomph in order to cycle properly, but the two I've mentioned usually give reasonable results.

Tim85 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I have not tried Win's but CCI were ok and Eley have been good. Mine didn't like the CCI Segmented rounds though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Juicer Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Eley work in in mine okay, as does cci. Had the most jams / failures from Winchester. Just try a box of each as mentioned and keep it clean. It's also worth doing a hammer job to lighten the trigger pull.

mikejt Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 If you use silicone spray lubricant instead of oil to lube the mechanism, it won't need cleaning as much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Remington Subs gave been fine in mine. Only the occasional miss feed - but thinking about thats no different to any of the other brands I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver fox 1 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Mine loves cci's and Ely are good but it doesn't like Winchester's I would buy a box of each to try. I don't mean to hijack the thread but I'm having trouble getting hold of cci,s at the moment Rfd has them on backorder but doesn't know when The Be in been waiting a couple of weeks now anybody else having the same trouble.

Alycidon Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 The issue with some rounds is excess grease on the bullet and case. After 50 rounds this builds up in the chamber stopping the rifle cycling. Winchester and if still available Magtech ( which in a bolt rifle is a hell of a round, massive open nose) are NOT suitable. Eley and CCI SSHPs will work fine as will Lapua but they dont do a SSHP. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Buy a box of each that you can get and test them some won't cycle some won't group but normally one will be good. With subs a clean action is important frog lube works very well so does clp. You can also polish the bearing face inside the action smooths it out a little the gun will do this on it's own in time.

A lot of RFDs are having trouble getting CCI at the moment, apparently the importers dont want to sell to small dealers anymore (although I was in a large shop a while ago and they couldnt get them either).

MITCHF Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Winchester are the worst through mine, loads of jams. I only use "full fat" now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Used thousands of win subs through my 10/22 and 90% cycled fine, usually only got jams when it was dirty, especially if lamping from a truck on dusty fields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks again for all the suggestions, I'll see what the rfd has in stock. I hope to pick up the rifle at some stage this week when work quietens down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1979 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 ive found Remington, Winchester and cci subs to work well, Winchester work best for me, mine doesn't like eley as the waxy coat cause jams, and rws jammed a lot to atb simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Never had an issue with this with the 2 10/22s I ran on Winchester sub x Must have a big chamber, had mine re barrelled with a competition barrel and chamber. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Picked up the rifle on Tuesday and so far I've tried a box of Remington, Winchester and Aguila 38gr. Remington seems to feed the best, but doesn't group as well as the others........ Although at the minute, I'm still getting used to the heavier trigger on the rifle, but saying that I've managed a magpie and 3 rabbits with it today.
