For reliability and being clean I use Fully jacketed CCI. There ammo is outstanding

I just went out the last friday and used around 250 plus rounds of CCI .22 long rifle 40 grain and had not one problem with all those rounds. A buddy of mine give me some of his federal .22 rounds and I have some misfires I'm going to stick to the cci rounds from now on. The gun I was using it's a remington model 24 and it's 82 yrs young

While CCI is great I have the came results from Remington at a cheaper price.

My suggestion is to buy a box each of three or four brands, some simple paper targets, and figure out which brand your gun likes. It will tell you.

I never really believed this untill some years back I was shootiing my Remington 700 in .22-250. It is a heavy barrel, laminated stock vamint rifle configuration. It LOVES Hornady ammunition. 5 shot 1 inch groups are no problem. My father bought the same rifle in a more deluxe version with gloss wood stock and the light weight barrel. It HATES Hornady but shoot store bought Remington ammo like a champ.

There are minute differences in metallurgy of the bullet and the twist rate of rifles that will definitely affect how one ammo will perform from gun to gun. There is NO right ammo for all.

You will spend a few bucks but will have a good time.

Thanks
