Best 22 ammo for Ruger Mark II

Post by superwolf »

I am starting to get into some of my local rimfire pistol competitions. I will be using a Ruger Mark II Target with a 6 7/8" barrel. I know there are quite a bit of different types of match ammo and each gun shoots them differently.

In terms of jumping ahead in buying at least the right ammo to test, what has historically been the best performing ammo for you guys? Thanks

CCI Standard Velocity blue box. It's the cheapest.

Finding it is going to be the big issue right now.
The CCI plastic box 0032 is also very good ammo for the price.

If you can't find any, try Eley Target (yellow box). Wolf Match Target or SK Standard Plus. Wolf Match Target and SK Standard Plus are the same ammo in a different box.
All three work well in my guns.

Mine shoots anything, well, if I get a FTF it is ammo that won't fire in my other guns. I got occasional stove pipes at first, but this fixed that problem:

Mine shot just about anything but Aguila. It's fun to try different ammo for accuracy. Aguila was very accurate but wouldn't eject. I think the case or rim was the problem. The rim had more of a rounded edge to it and the extractor wouldn't grab on to it.

CCI SV today shot some CCI min-mag's and out shot CCI SV but anything should shoot well out of a ruger and at 25 yards
