I am just curious as to what kinds of ammo others of you are running through your GSG's.  Since I had a day before my registration went through I had some time to go through all 18 pages of the GSG section and I notice alot of you are using the Wallyworld federal.  

So far I have run nothing through mine but CCI ammo.  Are there any particular brands to stay away from?  

I am getting ready to order a bunch of different ammo from CTD and was looking into the Wolf Match, has anyone had any experience with it?

I run 99% CCI through all my .22's.  That being said I ran a few mags of Federal bulk through my GSG last Sat. with no problems.  The only ammo I have had problems with was when a friend ran some Remington gold bullets through it.  We had quite a few ftl, and fte's.

Ammo I have ran with no problems:
CCI Green Tag
CCI Standard Velocity
CCI mini Mags
CCI stingers
CCI subsonic HP's
Federal bulk pack

Ammo I had problems with:
Remington bulk pack gold bullets

You may have different results but that's what has worked for me so far

I've tested the fed bulk pack and remington bulk pack.  I've had a few failures with both, but nothing that I wouldn't attribute to the general low quality nature of 22lr ammo.  The remington seems a tad more reliable, and its definitely hotter.

I went ahead and ordered 600 of the regular mini mag (what I normally shoot), 300 CCI velocitor and 500 of the wolf match grade.  I am pretty interested to see how the wolf stuff shoots.

been running 550rd wally world FEDERAL BULK PACK

AND

35 year old Remington stuff that comes in the little 225rd "tubs"


It likes both, but the remington a little less then the federal.

I clean it ALOT, 22lr is dirty stuff

Does anyone have experience with Centurion ammo?  J&G has them for 1.99 per 50.  And 169.00 per 5000.

I've had great results with CCI Stingers.
I've had good results with the Remington Golden Bullet 550 pack.
I have some of the Federal Bulk pack to try at my next range visit (I finally found it in stock).

Stay away from the Winchester Bulk pack at Wallyworld. Not enough power to reliably cycle the GSG-5.

I tried the Remington 550 bulk pack from Walmart today and had at least 2 jams with each magazine.  About 10 misfeeds overall today.  This was my first time trying to shoot it so I am a little dissappointed.  I will try to loosen the mag follower and try the federal next.

I have shot 20 of those WalMart Federal bulk packs through mine and have only had maybe 2 stovepipes?  It eats that stuff like candy.

And I have yet to clean it.

I have only taken my GSG to the range once and i fired 150 rds of Winchester Wildcat ammo. One jam but that was because the ammo didnt stack properly in the mag

The Wal-Mart Fed 55-rd bulk pack copper 36-gr HPs seem to work okay, as do the American Eagle 40-gr lead and Rem golden bullets in the 550-rd bulk box. I will get an occasional FTF or FTE, but consistent with the general nature of low-cost 22-cal ammo. The Rem Thunderbolt ammo is the lowest quality 22-cal ammo that I have used with at least 3-to-5 problems per box of 50.

Thanks, I will give it a shot.  No pun intended.

Only thing I've put through mine were four boxes of Federal bulk pack from Walmart, maybe about 15-20 problems, about half of them were light strikes and the other half were failure to feed, which happened on the third box I tried to put through it without cleaning it.  That problem went away when I followed the cleaning steps in the manual, putting a whole other box through it without one FTanything
