browning challanger 22lr

[kp345]

JUst picked up a .22lr browning, and I was wondering what is the best ammo brand for the older guns. Any info or sugestions would be great.

My belgian challenger is the most reliable & accurate pistol I have ever used. They were made for high velocity ammo, but if it has been used very much you should change the recoil spring. The springs are cheap if you can find one, If not Wolff springs makes a kit for the Colt Woodsman that should work. I like CCI minimags & velocitors in mine. Mine has the 6 3/4 barrel, & I would like to find a 4 1/2 inch barrel just to try it.

I mostly use either CCI, Federal, Remington or Winchester. It starts having feeding problems after about 75-100 rounds if you don't clean the chamber. PMC cartridges are CRAP! Usually at least 2 misfires in a box. If you turn them 1/2 turn they usually fire. priming compound not all the way around the rim.

Mine shoots just fine with the Fed "blue box" bulk pack. TC
