My Single Six 22 mag a different shooter now

[kf6gub]

Sometime ago (spring?) I began a thread complaining (I did) about the shooting qualities of my Single Six. I sent it back to Ruger and final-l-l-y got it back. Other than the fact that I had to ship it at my expense, there was no other costs to me. The technicians said several things in the report; it shoots within tolerances. ( I don't think they did a thing with it. ) With the 22 mag ammo in hand, it still shot to the left, regardless. Later I was in Cabelas and thought to buy several brands of ammo in 22 mag...not very much to select from. Yet I was able to buy some Remington. Wah-la! It shoots like a different gun! I heard that 22 mag guns can be really impressionable, dependent on brands of ammo. In the past I had put that thought aside. I am glad I finally gave that thought its due. With sight adjustment and Remington ammo, I'm a happy camper once again. thx Jim PS: I'm not intending to encourage the purchase of Remington ammo; it just works well in my gun.

GLAD you got it worked out 8) think I remember your posting :? 22's can be picky but so are we sometimes

Perfect example of how one needs to try different ammo before discounting a fun. Too often someone declares it junk or similar after trying one or maybe two types of loads. Glad it's worked out for you!

Remingtons for you, Federal 50 grainers seem to work well for me. And you are right, magnums seem somewhat hard to come by right now.
