Testing various .22 ammo in Rugers.

[Adam Helmer]

Yesterday, I tested three different brands of .22 Long Rifle hollowpoint ammo in my Ruger Mark I and Ruger Mark II. I had a brick of Remington, Federals and Winchester ammo. The targets were 25 yards from the bench. It was an interesting afternoon.

The pistols are used a lot in my handgun instruction classes. The Mark I is a heavy barrel with adjustable sights while the Mark II has a light barrel and fixed sights. The Federals shot so-so, the Remingtons were better, but the Winchesters shot best in my guns, your results may vary. I adjusted the windage on the Mark II to zero it for Winchesters. That will be my woods carry gun here on the farm.
