We all know how some 22’s can be finicky when it comes to ammo.
I bought a Taurus TX22 last week and found it to be a fun pistol to shoot. I had only shot Armscor High Velocity ammo in it, which shot pretty good, but I wanted to see how it did with a few other types of ammo.
Here’s the selection of ammo I tried out today. That’s 8 different brands and 18 different types of ammo.
Here are the targets. I fired five rounds each from seven yards. If I didn’t get a good group, I shot a second five shot group to make sure it was me messing up and not the ammo.
I got flyers with the Federal Champion.
Both of the GECO rounds did grate with the Semi Auto doing a little better.
The Federal American Eagle and Premium Hunter Match didn’t do so good.
I got great groups with the Aguila Super Extra, but had a flyer on both groups.
I thought the Winchester Target would have done better.
The Monarch Brass is Academy Sports store brand packaged by Armscor.
The Winchester Wildcat did much better than I thought it would.
Now the Remington Golden is over 30 years old. That one flyer may have been me.
The CCI Clean is a red coated bullet, and boy does it stink when you shoot it. Don’t ask me why the first group I shot was so bad and the second group so good. Could have been the smell.
I was surprised at the CCI Mimi Mag. That’s five shots with one flyer.
The Winchester High Velocity didn’t do to bad.
CCI Standard Velocity has shot great in every gun I have tried it in and the Taurus TX22 was no expiation.
The Remington Subsonic didn’t do all that great.
I am really liking this cheap Armscor ammo.
Federal Target Gold Medal did very good.
And the last group, lower right, is CCI Stinger. It did very good but noise and recoil were much more then the others. I don’t think I would want to run a lot of it through the Taurus. Plus it cost to much for just plinking.
Here’s a pic of the CCI (Stinky) Clean.
All of the ammo functioned without problems. I only had two failure on LRHO. One was with the CCI Stinger. But I think it was me riding my thumb on the slide release.
The Taurus TX22 is a great little pistol and a great shooter. If you haven’t had the chance to shoot one yet, you should.
So what ammo does your TX22 like munch on?
