22LR Ammo?

[Colorado Luckydog]

I put about a thousand rounds through my 10/22 a couple of days ago. The last box I shot had 550 rounds of hollow points made by Remington. I couldn't believe how many duds I had out of the 550 rounds of Remington. All the shells that fired and did not fire had the same exact dent in the shell from the firing pin. I really do not think it was the gun, I think it was the ammo. I just wanted to see what you guys think it was!

What is your favorite 22LR ammo that you use?

Thanks Bryan

In fact, the same ammo thats givin you trouble is the ammo i prefer. I have an old remington 552 semi auto. I will admit, there are some duds in remingtons .22 ammo, but it cycles the best and gives me the most accuracy out of my gun. I don't know what it is with Winchester's though. Winchester .22 ammo always ends up with 2 or 3 shots and then a stovepipe. That is IMO the worst .22 ammo ive ever bought.

Every gun seems to have different ammo it shots best. I've had problems with the bulk Remington having duds in it. Lately I've been shooting the federal brand.

I prefer the Remington bulk is shoots the best out of my 10'22 and I rarely get a dud. The Federals though I get constant stove pipes and more duds.

Last Fri. out of 18 kids shooting at practice we had more then 50% duds. They were getting hit very hard and it must be the bullet. One person said that they must have messed up the compound in the brass. I know that we had to make sure that kids held on target for at least 20 seconds because we had a few go off after teh trigger was pulled 5 to 10 seconds.
