Remington .22 and Ruger 10/22

[fightingquaker13]

How is Remington green Box in a 10/22? I've used CCI for years. Its not that its great, its just that I'm happy with it, it works, and its reasonably priced, so its what I've bought. However, Gander is basically giving away the Remington at $17 per 525. Any reason not to buy? I mean I trust that the ammo is good, just asking how it interfaces with the Ruger. Any wisdom?
Thanks

It runs fine through my 10/22 but I mostly plink with it, no bullseye target shooting.

I use all kinds of ammo in my 10/22. Everything works as long as I use Ruger mags, except I don't buy Federal Lightning anymore. A friend said it was made of recycled car batteries in Mexico. He may have been right. It was crappy ammo.

Mine, for whatever reason never cycled Federal well. That's why I asked the question. If the consensus is that remington works ok with the 10/22 I'll buy a few boxes at the price they're offering. I mean 1,050 rounds for $34 is hard to beat. Particularly in this economy.

At those prices you ought to by a case.  Then you might be able to make it on the Fed's "Prepper" list.

We are all on it except F Q & Tab. But you knew that.

Yeah right. The  disgruntled Libertarian political activist with the AR, Glocks and IRA and anarchist  family members isn't on the list. Please, they made a list just for my family.

Run the Winchester Red Box, and the Rem. Green Box at the range in Butler creek high cap mags, for hundreds and hundreds of rounds.

The only issue I have encountered, and not every time, is about at 4th or 5th mag, I'll get "1" FTE. However, my 10/22 is pretty dirty at that point.

A two minute, "quicky" wipe of the receiver and bore,....and it's good for another 4 or 5 mags...

Everyone should have and enjoy a 10/22...

Depends on the gun . 2 identical guns can act completely different with the same ammo.
I think it is a matter of cumulative tolerances in the boltface, and chamber, each component is machined seperately and thrown into a box, later they are pulled randomly from the box for assembly.
Either that or some guns are just female.

I've probably had more problem with bulk Remington Green Box than any other ammo in auto loaders in general.  I have had good luck, both accuracy and reliability wise with Remington  .22 Target ammo, all though some auto loaders don't like it as it doesn't seem to have enough power to cycle them.  Those auto loaders seem to like higher velocity ammo.  Just my two cents worth of observations.
