22lr for Ruger 22/45

[bert304]

I would like to know what other people are using in their Ruger Mark III 22/45. I recently bought one and I have not shot it yet. I am going to the store today and I am going to pick up some 22lr for it. Just want to know if one brand was better then another.

My Mark II 22/45 isn't as reliable with lead bullets. It does fine with anything jacketed.

I usually shoot the 550 round bricks of Federal JHP's from Wal-Mart. Winchester Dynapoints work well in mine too.

If the Mark III 22/45 is anything like the Mark III Hunter, I wouldn't even bother trying plain lead bullets in it; it'll foul like crazy-- like, within the first 10-20 rounds. When I inquired at Ruger about the fouling in my Hunter, they said to use a jacketed bullet instead. I've got some Remington "Golden Bullets" (brass-plated) I'm going to try, we'll see how they do.

Remmington Golden Bullets were the only plated rounds that do not feed well in mine.

That's encouraging; I've got two 525-round boxes of the damn things. Oh, well...

FWIW, Thunderbolts didn't feed worth a crap in my Hunter, either.

My 22/45 eats any ammo I put into it. It has never given me problem with any kind of ammo.

If you have a 22lr, you owe it to yourself to try Wolf MT for accuracy.

It's not the same as the steel cased centerfire Wolf and it's truly impressive for the price.

I've had good luck with the Winchester Dynapoints from Waley World. They feed well, are relatively clean, accuracy is good, and the price isn't bad. I seldom clean the barrel, occasionally brush the chamber with solvent to remove wax lube and crud. Thunderbolts work, but tend to be very dirty.

Regular Federal 550-round bricks work just fine for me, but I have a Mark III, not the 22/45
