Ruger Single Six

[Pat C.]

Still trying to tame this Single Six. At 20 yards offhand CCI .22LR. I settled in and had a few flyers early. Short barrel really magnifies shooter error.
Sights all the way down
Between my vision and steadiness not sure if it's ammo or me.

... not sure if it's ammo or me.

The right ammo can make a huge difference, but most people don't want to take the time to really find out what the proper diet is.

I usually blame me before I blame the ammo (with centerfire), but with .22 and with pellets, I find that the ammo usually has more to do with it than me!

Maybe try testing it on a sandbag, just for some "test fire " rounds. mebbe .

22 LR, unlike any other ammo I know is very "psychotic" in its preference for a particular firearm and that can lead to significant accuracy variations. Testing requires multiple rounds fired at yardage of each "flavor" until the ammo favored by that firearm can be determined. I've had bulk ammo shoot lights out in a 10/22 that shotguns top-shelf match ammo and one variety of match ammo outshoot another in the same gun.

[VanHahner]

Well said !

[Sustinemus]

Yup. It's true. With .22's you have to find the ammo that gun likes. Same thing with airgun pellets.

You need the clean to bore between different types or shoot enough of the new round to force out all remnants of the previous round so you are not comparing a mixture of lubes and such.

This was same off hand using Fiocchi performance last fall .It did real well . I'm out of that ammo currently.

[Pat C.]

If you look there were six flyers today , thinking ammo related
Same ammo produced some flyers in the Colt New Frontier too.One day to next a man will get different results .
I have a bunch of Federal I'll try ,maybe Monday
