What Ammo To Use

[Guest Taurus Pro]

Ok most of you know that i recently bought a Remington 597 .22LR , Now i need to know what is the best ammo to use in it.

Any input would be great.

Thanks

I'd use the Wal-Mart special. Most .22's will eat anything you feed'em.

It's the weekend. I usually stay up much later. No woman or rugbrat around tonight, so I'm gonna enjoy the quiet.

If you have problems with other ammos, try CCI Mini-Mags. I have yet to find something the Mini-Mags dont work in.

+1 for the Federal bulk. That's all I shoot. I wouldn't trust your life on it but it's great for plinking. Everybody needs 1 bulk box of it.

x2...I use this stuff in my 597 and have had no issues. Around $12 for 550 at WM.

Try a little of several brands til you find what your rifle likes the best, then buy all you can. Most 22's can be a little finicky about what they shoot best with. For me it's mini-mags in the rifle and Federal 510's in the pistol.

Excellent advice! I have a Remington 541 that shot very nice groups with most ammo, except most high or hyper velocity rounds. I had some Eley 10x ammo and it shot a large "one hole" 5 shot group. Because of testing with other ammo, I discovered that it shot identical "one hole" 5 shot groups with CCI standard velocity. At 25 yards, both Eley and CCI shoot identical groups, 5 shots, one ragged hole about the size of a dime or smaller.

No matter what type of .22 it is, you will always be able to find one or two types of ammo that it shoots better than anything else. For hunting, the 541 like the Winchester Super X hollow points. Funny, the squirrels don't seem to care for them at all.

The 597 is really good with most of the cheap bulk ammo. I've fired Remington, Winchester, Blazer and Federal bulk through one with minimal problems.

I like the Federal bulk the best out of all though...they seem less dirty to handle while loading. *shrug*
