[QUOTE="henschman, post: 1117697, member: 4235"] I own 2 Ruger 10/22s that I use as trainer rifles for Appleseed marksmanship clinics. I have put countless 550 round cases of Remington Golden Bullets through them myself, and so have the students, with no problems. It is not at all rare to go through an entire case with no ammo-related failures whatsoever. The only time it will jam is when the rifle or the magazines get dirty from thousands of rounds fired between cleanings. I have tried Federal Bulk Pack ammo, and it is worthless in these rifles. it seemed like every 4th or 5th round it would jam a case sideways in the action, just like clockwork. Guys, it is no secret that rimfire guns can be very picky on what type of ammo they like, especially between the cheaper types like Remington and Federal. Just because one gun doesn't work well with Remington doesn't mean its crap ammo... it just means YOUR gun doesn't like it. 10/22s generally like Remington but won't run on Federal. My friends' Marlins and CMMG AR conversions love Federal but won't run on Remington. Remington 597s seem pretty indifferent... they seem to more or less shoot whatever you throw at them. In my experience teaching Appleseed clinics, if a rifle doesn't like Remington, it will like Federal, and vice versa. If it doesn't like the one, it will almost surely like the other. If you have a new rifle, before you buy a whole 550 round brick, buy smaller amounts of a couple types of ammo and see what works and what doesn't. [/QUOTE]
