All my rimfires have their preference as to which ammo is most accurate, bur all will feed, shoot, eject any 22 LR ammo, both foreign and domestic, El Cheapo and $$$. I got 3/4" @ 40 yds with Blazer 22s in my Contender rifle...

Whenever I got a new-to-me 22 (Inow own 4 semi-autos and 3 bolt guns, and 2 single shots)I would buy one or two boxes of every ammo available (even some Soviet ammo from the '60s) to see which ammo the gun liked the best and as I mentioned above, only one that failed...
See? This is what makes 22 lr such a ******* shoot
No saying mikid did not have issues, it just happens.

I have shoot thousands of cheap Remington ammo, Golden Bullets, Thunderbolts whatever and never has an issue.

So guns just shoot some ammo and others don't. It shouldn't be but it is.

All my centerfire guns will shoot any ammo, some may not be as accurate but not total failure. I reload and any primer I use works. I am still on cases of Wolff primers and some folks hate them. I do not shoot metal case ammo except in a AR 15, heck it is as cheap as it gets and works every time.

One of life's great mysterys.
