.22LR High Velocity question

That little copper coated 33..40gr bullet would be easy for any range. Don't sweat it. JP

I don't know of any indoor ranges were .22LR HV would be an issue.

BUT, as my Wife has taken up shooting mostly .22LR I have learned a lot about what works and what doesn't and why.

HV ammo in pistols is probably NOT a good idea unless the particular gun/conversion kit SPECIFICALLY instruction sheet tells you to use it.

Examples:
- Ruger Single Six revolver - HV ammo shoots OK, but pushing the empties out (it's a Single Action job with a ramrod type deal for removing one case at a time) was a challenge. Using Std Vel ammo, no big problem.
- Jams in many semi-autos that aren't made for HV ammo. Std Vel ammo runs fine.
- Advantage Arms .22LR conversion kit for Glock SPECIFICALLY tells you to use Rem Golden Bullets (HV) and they run great. Instructions explain that Std Vel may not cycle properly causing malfunctions.
- Ciener .22LR conversion kit for 1911 works fine with Rem Golden Bullets too. Other ammo tried caused malfunctions or worse (leading up barrel big-time with Rem Thunderbolts HV).

Thanks guys... I bought a Walther P22 pistol and the docs inside are telling me to use .22LR High Velocity.... I wanted to make sure of it....

the rem thunderbolt stuff seems pretty hot, i have got some gas black back with my J.C. Stevens 22lr. thats why i only use SV with that gun.

Check with your range it may be lead only no jacketed ammo.

Will do, thanks!!

Is Remington Thunderbolt really HV? I thought that was their cheap stuff. It seems dirty and low quality to me.

I find the Velocitor ammunition works real well in a Ruger MkII autoloading pistol, probably better than anything else I've used, but it is relatively expensive compared to the bulk-pack stuff.
