Ammo for Mossberg tactical .22

[little_airwolf]

Stingers by far have been the best for this little gun. No ftf/fte. However it's more than $7 bucks for 50 rounds. I've tried dynapoint, 555, yellowjacket, hv xpert. All will have two or more ftfs in one magazine. The bolt will crush/bend the bullet making it unuseable. Gurrrr.
Is there any ammo cheaper than the stingers I should try?
Thanks Andrew

Try using solids instead of the hollow points. eg. American Eagle, Federal 510, CCI Standards

CCI Mini Mags work for me. RN or HP, makes no difference.

Mine likes Winchester Wildcat ammo. Very few ftf/fte I've found.

I had the same issue, sorted it out with round nose American Eagle ammo. Zero FTF FTE now!

I believe anything RN will do the trick.

I'm guessing the round nose will fix all. The yellowjacket bullets have a weird shape and they jamed the most.
I'll try a few more brand and let you guys know.
Thanks again for the info!!!!!
I hate dealing with the jams.

Winchester White Box 36 grain hollow points, they are iffy feeding. The projectiles have a rather flat nose compared to RN's.

Out of 400 rounds fired I had only 5 not chamber properly.

I've been using 40gr Dynapoints mostly , and also , 36gr Federal Champions are good too.

I've found the Federal 525s the most reliable. I've had NO ossues with them and fired a couple thousand rnds.

...and decently accurate .
Fed's would be a good choice to start

Funny thing...
I fired off a brick of Thunderbolts , under 10 ftf's !!
...I was near speechless...
That crap ammo would not shoot out of any of my other .22's.
The Mossy Tact. handled them...
...never the less , I won't buy that brand again

.22lr that I've found that cycles all my autos.

40gr American eagle, CCI Blazer, CCI SV, CCI maxi, Federal Automatch.

Try some American Eagle roundnose ammo. It worked great in my 702 Plinkster (which is the action and barrel of the Mossberg Tactical .22)

Thanks all for your help! I went to the range with 9 different ammo types. I knew Stingers wouldn't be an issue but they cost way too much.
Anyway found that my gun likes american egale and hv xpert. Did not like 555 and wildcat. Dynapoint grouped the best but always would have atleast one ftf in 25 rounds.
I think I'll stick with hv xpert since it's $20 a box.
