When running 22-rimfire conversions, advice from Doc Gunn:
"CCI 40-grain lead, round-nosed ammunition is best. 22/LR conversions require as much recoil energy as possible for consistent functioning, and all-36 grain loads are lacking. And, 40-grainers from Federal and Remington, though functional, are so dirty they gum-up the works in short order.
CCI Mini-Mag 'Premium' is best."
Comment: 22/conversion, both after-market and OEM, have been spotty. Shooting 22RF ammunition surely represents a savings over shooting even ball, but it is not without its hazards, as we see.
