mkii ammo
« on: November 02, 2004, 07:28:01 AM »
I know we just had a question about bulk 22 ammo, but Id like to get a little more specific.I have come to the conclusion that two guns, of the  same modle,and manufactorer, may still like different bullets for one reason or another. In spite of this, Id like to know what kind of bulk ammo gives you guys the closest group out of an mkii 6 7/8"? Id like to collect a few suggestions, and pick up one box of each. Figure this way I'll have a really good starting point to find out what mine likes. :D  Thanks!

My Mark I (it's an oldie  :grin: ) really like the bulk pack Winchester Dynapoints.  In fact many of my .22 seem to shoot quite well with them.  

As I always like to say (with rimfires esp.)  "You choose the gun, let the gun choose the ammo".  You'll really just need to find out for yourself.  When you get serious about target shooting you see that many times the same ammo but different lot numbers will group differently.  Some folks even go so far as to weigh each round and sort them that way.

Gallahad,
I've tried as many as 10 different types and brands of 22 ammo in several different MK IIs.  None of the bulk stuff shot too well in mine.  I did find one that shot well in all the MK IIs.  It was CCI Pistol Match.  It's not bulk ammo and although it's not the cheapest, it's not the most expensive either.  The second best, that I tried, was Winchester Power Point.
Best,
TnNuc
