My neighbor gave me a new barrel to try on one of my 10-22's. It says Hogue 22lr on it. Anyone know who made it for Houge. The barrel is .920 and never used.
 
I would bet GM makes it but with it being free clean it up install and see how it works out. Hard to find many ammo brands to try to find its favorite. It probably is a NO stinger chamber. But standard velocity ammo is almost always more accurate anyhow. I like the price you paid !
 
I think it has a tight chamber. Everything I put in the chamber, I had to push on it to get it to go. The velocitors I dont think ever went in all the way. Other std velocities went but had to be pushed some. The factory barrel I took off hasnt been shot but std's all fell right in.
 
They have bentz chambers. Pulled from another site, but good warning:

WARNING: Hyper Velocity .22 Rimfire Ammo Difficulties


ONE :Avoid CCI Hyper Velocity Ammo in match grade chambers!


You should be VERY careful if you have a .22 Long Rifle Rimfire firearm with a Match Grade or Bentz chambered barrel and use some Hyper Velocity Ammunition.

Match grade chambered barrels have very tight tolerances for measurements to give better ammuntion performance. A Bentz chamber is basically a match grade chamber for a semi-automatic. Most after market barrels for the Ruger 10-22 have these type of chambers, other firearms have them built with them originally.

There are, or should be, warnings on CCI Stinger and CCI Quick Shock .22 LR ammunition that they SHOULD NOT be shot out of any match grade chamber. The SHELL part of the ammunition is just slightly longer than regular .22 LR shells and is made of a stronger metal. usually brass. This is done because to get the bullet to hyper velocities, it is lighter and shorter than the standard 38 and 40 grain .22 rimfire bullets, so they had to extend the brass shell. If one of these rounds are chambered in a Match chamber, the hard part of the shell will jam into the very end of the chamber and foul up the inside rim where the grooves and lands start for the rifling. Once this happens, usually the barrel is totalled.

If you are not sure about your firearm and barrel, call a gunsmith or the manufacturer!

Marlin 880 SQ : Heavy barrel bolt action , first run, these early ones had a MATCH GRADE chamber and should not be used with these CCI rounds. Later 880 SQ's had a different chamber that was not a FULL MATCH chambering. call Marlin with your serial number to confirm!


Two: Warning Hyper Velocity Ammo and Eccessive Wear!

Hyper Velocity ammo has more recoil force than High Velocity ammo... i know, go figure right? LOL. anyway, Hyper V's can cause damage or even failure if used in certain firearms.

Marlin Semi-autos: these have small plastic bolt buffers that can be broken with the extra pounding they take, i have had two broken, just with high velocity rounds.

Ruger 10-22 : the recievers can and will crack, ive seen it. to avoid damage to recievers replace the hard metal bolt buffer pin with a softer after market one. it'll quiet the shooting a little too. i in fact recommend this for ALL 10-22's!

Walther P-22: the slide is made of a softer alloy metal and will start to crack or break if Hypers are used too much.


Those are the ones i know of, if anyone else has any others please post. Hope this helps somebody in the future.

D T D, thanks for the read. I laid a stinger down by a velocitor and others and sure as heck, they're longer. I'll save them for the bolt guns. This barrel is going to be a shooter for sure. I tried 3 types of ammo and all shot great. Federal target and CCI high velocity both right in the little red dot with all rounds touching. I have 8 or 10 more types I can try.
 
Good that you figured out the tighter match chambers . You can use a little fitz or mothers polish and chuck a brush in a drill and do a little polishing to the chamber. Go easy. All you want to do is slick it up not cut it larger. Some times to a hardend machine steel extractor can help from power custom , clark or valquartzen with pulling brass form those match chambers.

Boy you have gone and done it now. One upgraded part even free starts the list of upgrades for better and better shooter. HA
 
Yea hardluk1, I found another 10-22 today in a Hogue stock with a Butler Creek barrel on it. I didnt want to buy a complets gun just for a few parts to build from but for $150 I ended up with it. It shoots nice to but not like the first one. I think you might be right, upgrades!

The 3 most accurate I've tried (out of my 16" GM barrel) is CCI Subsonic, Wolf Match Target, and Eley. The subsonics tend to be most accurate, but every 10/22 has it's own appetite. For standard velocity stuff that doesn't cost an arm and a leg cci mini-mags have been decent. The only one it hates is that Remington thunderbolt & golden bullet junk.
 
The thing to know about .22lr ammo is the standard loads - 1080fps and less stay sub sonic through out there flight and if you find a pet load it will stay accurate atleast with in that lot number from 25 yards to 100 or 200 . Lots of drop though. The faster rounds can be accrurate to a distance that they fall back below the speed of sound and then they become unstable and group size can then vari greatly. For , say , cci mini mags that can be bwetween 75 and 90 yards. Might shoot 1/2" at 50 3/4" at 75 yard and 2"+ at 100 yards. Still fun figuring it out.
 
This was pretty fast shooting with CCI 1235fps I think.

I'll have to ask my Son since he's the one who shot it. Might be Federal 1080 fps.

If it is the faster CCI use to run a test. keep extending distance till the bullets become unstable then you'll get what I was say'n about when supersonic ammo slows to sub onic levels and losing accuracy at that point.

Good shooting any how.
 
This has nothing to do with this thread but I got my Savage out again and loaded it with Wolf match target. 8 out of 10 were basically in the same hole. The other 2 , right next to and touching the 8!
