Winchester XPERT .22 in a 10/22

In general, the welfare bricks at walmart dont seem to cycle well in semi autos, however for the price its worth trying a brick. How clean you keep your gun affect it quite a bit(I believe ruger says to clean the action every 50 rounds!!! In a 10/22 that'll take 15-20 seconds with no feed problems!!!!!) I have found that the best ammo in semi-autos(10/22 and rem597) is Remington thunderbolt.....
 
buy federal champion bulk pack of 525 rounds if you can find it.
clean burning,fires every time(unlike the win. stuff) and quite accurate.
 
i have a 10/22 and it does not like the cheap sh*t. i like the remington stuff like the yellow jackets and tornados(both hollow points) and the cci stingers and velociters. winchester makes some better stuff too that comes in a plastic slide top case wich shoots very good and makes reloading easy because u dont have to count.
 
10/22T, no problems with those ones but don't buy them, they are messy as hell, there will be lead everywhere in your gun and on your hands. Buy copper plated ones, less mess, 525 pack is worth the buck more.

I have had some issues where the bullet would split from the case on the winchester ones, bought them once and won't again. Federal bulk I have no issues with, not target ammo but excellent for shooting the poop.
 
I've tossed almost everything "low end" through my 10/22 and I have to also say the winchester brands are pretty dirty. The remington yellow jackets are also dirty but don't seem to muck it up as bad.

I've had great luck with the federal 40grain 525 packs. I've had good shooting with the CCI mini mags but only when I used the 10rnd magazine, the 25rnd mags didn't feed worth a crap.

I was thinking of trying out a subsonic load for ####s'n'giggles.
 
I have shot several thousand of these in my 10/22 they work great for me and produce 10 shot groups under the size of a dime... I hardly ever clean my 10/22 they dont jam or anything. Maybe I am just lucky. I can say though my Ruger mark I target pistol hates them.

I switched to winchester 333 because walmart has them cheaper I normally buy 10 boxes at a time.
 
They feed OK in my 10/22 but not as well as the federal 525 packs. Never ha a problem with them. I tried the dynapoints but they turned my 10/22 into a jamomatic. Except for the odd stove pipe the federals have always fed and ejected without a problem.
 
I fired a couple of thousand Xperts in my 10/22 and no significant problems. They actually grouped quite well for cheap ammo too. I switched to Dynapoints though because I wanted a copper plated bullet.

It's funny how two 10/22s can have different results with the same ammo. I guess you can't rely on asking someone, you just have to spend the money on a brick and see how the ammo performs in your own gun. Either the ammo is not consistant and some people got good batches while others didn't or the 10/22s aren't all equal. I know many like to change the extractors.

Some 10/22s shoot good and others shoot like le poope. Mine seems to shoot good with all sorts. However reloading the 10/22 mags with plain lead bullets is really messy. Hands will be grey and you will have lead poisoning by the time you finish a break.
