[simko]

So next week ill be shooting my NEA barrelled 10/22 build for the first time, im going ammo shopping soon, plan on buying a bunch of different ammo brands to try out.

anyone have experience with these? what do they like? my old dlask barrel with a tight chamber (bentz?) was fussy. just wondering if these are too

thanks!

Its a match chamber so be sure to add a good aftermarket extractor if you want to extract a live round. Stick with copper plated ammo if your going to shoot bulk. Blazer will lead the barrel heavily as the bores are undersize and not the smoothest. Rem yellow jackets worked great in mine but they have an epicly high number of duds, a handful in every box. If you use unplated ammo, try to find stuff with minimal wax and keep an eye on the bore, leading can sneek up and go from nothing to worry about to keyholing pretty quick.
