Winchester Super X

I'm not a big fan of Winchester rimfire ammo, but ran a 100rnd box of their 37gr cphp (1330fps advertised) thru my Ruger SR22p and Sig 1911-22 today, and not a single hiccup. I've had problems with this ammo in the past, but since the last time I've lubed up both guns with Hornady One-Shot. So I'm attributing at least part of the better function to Hornady, especially in the Sig which is a little particular about ammo. Anyway, had some fun, and learned something.

I remember you saying that in another post here. Try some win 40 grain power point if you can find it. It's always been one of the most accurate and reliable in my 77/22's , 10/22's , and mk2 pistols. The 37's ran fine for me but were not nearly as accurate.

Ive been eying those sig 1911's. Lots of reports about them needing the paint polished off of the slide and rails to loosen up the tolerances a bit. After that the reports are flawless. Any issues with that on yours?

It was a little sticky when it was new and they do require hv ammo to cycle properly. I was pretty disappointed in the finish which wore and chipped off around the grip and other areas within a couple months. Also have a wear mark on the barrel extension where the slide rubs it every shot. Not my favorite gun. I had expected better from Sig.

I dont know why sig has so many issues with their rimfire models when the P series centerfires are one of the best platforms ever made in my opinon. All you hear about the mosquito is problem after problem , and a lot of issues with the 1911's too. Being farmed out to GSG to manufacture probably has a lot to do with it. Ive never heard of issues with the 22 slide conversions for the P series pistols and might have to go that route for one of mine...
