I have a Ruger 22 wmr and I'm looking for suggestions as to what may be the best ammo to shot out of it. I'd rather not spend a lot of money going through various brands and grains of bullets to find what is going to shoot the best through it. I figured I'd throw it out there to see what works for other hunters and start there.

They don't shoot worth a crap. Give it to your old buddy Lookn4Fur to dispose of. ;D ;D ;D

Jake, my 22WMR only likes 40gr...and really shoots well with CCI 40gr HP....30grs show up like a scatter gun on paper....you are really gonna hafta try and find out what it likes..
-
I'd do that but I've seen you shoot !!!!! My 1 1/2 inch groups would be 3" groups with you behind the same gun!!!
-
Goose, I've tried several. Maybe I'm expecting to much out of it
-
Mine cut the same hole...if I do my part :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ but mostly I'm a ¼ to ½ inch groups
-
Not the same gun, I use a Marlin, bolt action.
CCI 40 grain, works for my mag.
-
I'm seeing a common factor here....
-
:) Jake I have a brand new Ruger American....I can cover 3 shots at 50 yds with a dime...using CCI Maxi-Mag HP+v...30 grain...2200fps...
-
What distance are you zeroing your gun in at?
-
Jasper, is your Ruger the 22mag? Or LR?
-
22 Mag......50yds...out at 100 I was not doing as well but it was still 1 and a half, some better and a couple worse 3 shot groups, ....I tried the Winchester ammo UB used to promote and it was all over the place 2 good shots flyer.....Like Goose said mine will cut the same hole at 50 with the 30 grain...I have not shot 40's out of this one because I was happy with the results I got...I had a Mossberg that liked the 40's better.....have you tried finding any 22 mag ammo lately? It's ridiculous .............. 8) I have some vision problems so I really should shut up on this, just my 2 cents....

Jake you kin always give it to jaspr1 with a $100 attached since you broke it and jaspr1 knows how to bury it.. :o :o :o :o :o :o kinda like hush money :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
-
I just bought a box of 30 gr Winchester, 40 gr CCI and 40 gr armscore . Now I just need to find time to get to the range.
-
Dang, 'jake. You beat me too it.
I was going to suggest we all send you 5-10 rounds of what we use. Then you could have made your choice.

I like your thinking Hern !!! I wish you would have thought of it $50 ago!!!!!
