CCI! Mini or Maxi Mags just depends on what rifle I grab. Lawdog

All round best ammo in my rifles is Fiocchi Match M320 followed by Winchester Dynapoint and the T-22. As good as Fiocchi, but more expensive is Wolf Match Target. I didnt get as good a result with Wolf Match Extra. This is at 50 yards with my most accruate rifle, a surprisingly accurate old Glenfield model 60. I bought some Fioochi SM340 Biathlon ammo expecting good results based on my experience with the M320 stuff. Was a real dissapointment - shoots very dirtyand is not as accurate as M320. Even had some split cases. For me, the best balance of cost and performance is clearly Dynapoints. I have given up on Remington and Federal bulk ammo. The Remington is too dirty and the Federal is inconsistent with lots of weak rounds.

I can't get over how well ultra-cheapo Winchester Dynapoint can shoot in some rifles. My sako likes it as well as, or even better than some ammo costing 4x the price. I know of another Sako, Anschutz and a Walther shooter that use it with excellent results. I admittedly will never compare it to the $10+ a box stuff. My only question is of the long term effects of shooting copperwashed bullets compared to lubed lead.

I've seen no difference in bore conditions. Most of the fouling I get seems to be from powder residue and bullet lube. That copper flashing is so thin as to be of no consequence. It may even keep you from injesting lead from handling ammo.

I,ve always had the best luck with CCI stingers. My 10/22 loves them.

Most ammunition is better than me these days :oops: but when I was shooting better, I found that my Remington 541S loved T22 and my Anschutz 54 worked best with an old lot of Eley Tenex that I bought from a competitor that was getting out of the game.
