Anyone have or shot a Ruger Single Six .22/.22 magnum?

I put a lot of that cleaning oil from my gun cleaning kit in the bore and I'm gonna leave it overnight. I'll scrub it with the brass brush tomorrow
 
My experience has been that the .22 mag shoots marginally better than the .22 lr ... but the latter shoots well enough.

Remember that .22 lr ammo is lubed; .22 mag is not. In my experience, .22 lr doesn't typically lead a barrel, but the .22 mag can leave copper fouling. I don't typically clean the barrels of my .22 lrs except to run a bore snake through them occasionally. Not so the Single Six. It gets a good cleaning after every outing because of the unlubed .22 mags.
 
I never noticed a big difference in accuracy with my single six, but I do remember there was a big difference with my 10" High Standard when I changed cylinders.
 
Yes...

I have a single six hunter convertible. I love it, now.

At first, I couldn't seem to shoot it very well. My hands are a little big for the gun, so I found that I wasn't really getting the best grip. I started experimenting with different ways of holding it. I found something that works for me and now it is very accurate regardless of what I shoot in it.
