New gun owner and need a little help! Ruger SR22

[dwarven1]

I just picked up an SR22 as well, but have not shot it. Has anyone ran this stuff?

Works reasonably well in my Mark II - had one failure to feed; it got hung up on the feed ramp. Which is what Remington Golden Bullet does about every time. Never have those troubles with Federal...

whats the cost of the 333? They are Hollow point and i wouldnt use them for the range, but thats me. Mini Mag is High velocity, i will try my CCI standard next.

Love my SR22. I had it about 10 months now and have shot heck out it. I did have some issues in the beginning with a few to many FTF's and a stove pipe or two, but It was just dry and I was inexperienced. Lubed up it runs like a champ and now that it's broken in, the performance has only improved. I do have the random ftf, but normally it runs flawlessly. Usually shoot Federal and Blazer bulk or CCI standard. Only ammo that gave trouble was some Remington bulk I got gifted. Stuff was garbage,very dirty and even gave my mkIII and 10/22 fits.

I'd also recommend getting a bore snake and taking it with to the range, with you. A quick pull or two through the barrel after a hundred or two rounds can make a world of difference, especially if ya start getting malfunctions.

Double Tap: The Winchester White Box is 36 GR. 1280FPS so these may be the same thing. I've never seen them look as good as those rounds in that picture though.

Thanks for all the great advice! After 100 rounds of mini-mags the blazers ran great, with only 1 FTE!!

where did you go? (what range). I couldnt believe the 1st time i shot my SR22 i used Mini mags and hit 2 in a row at 25ft at the 1inch target. Very acurate 22 in My opinion.

I'm waiting to join Woburn, so in the mean time I went to Bob's in Salisbury!

Thats where i go. Ventilation isnt so great when busy. I had a couple issues with the Blazers but after 150rds of Mini mags the Blazers seem better.

Are there specific lube points for the sr22? Or is it basically just the barrel and slide?

 

[leewongfei]

Barrel, slide, and a few other points. I think there is 5 or 6 in total. The information is in the manual for the firearm.

We only run CCI Mini Mag through our SR22 and (knock on wood) have never had a problem. Got about 1500 rounds through it right now. We also clean it after shooting and run it a tad bit wet.
