[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cleanest .22 ammo?

Posted: 4/22/2004 4:47:56 PM EDT

I've been doing a lot of "catch-up" cleaning after taking a few new shooters out and noticed the cheapie Wally-World Winchester brick really gunked up my Buckmark. For that matter, I was starting to run a brush through the chambers of my S&W M18 every few cylinders just to get the rounds seated. Don't recall having this much of a mess when I stuck with CCI MiniMags.

Anybody have any recommendations for the cleanest-shooting .22s? What about "avoid like the plague" stories?

All of the CCI .22 ammo is really clean, I like the mini mags best

Not Rem Thunderbolts; gritty as heck.
Not blasting priced, but the E Ger made Wolf is match accurate and pretty clean.

CCI works well for me.

Yeah, that's about what I thought. I'll use up whatever I've got left of the bulk Winchester and then just stock up on (translation: make the newbies buy me exclusively) CCI from now on.

I've found the Win Dynapoints to be very clean. Anything thats copper coated is pretty much going to be cleaner than regulard lead rounds. I used to shoot a lot of lead Remington in my 22/45 and it used to start jamming at around 200 rounds from being dirty. I taken it up to 600 rounds before w/o malfunctions with my 22/45 plus I added a Volquartsen Exact Edge extractor.
