Winchester Super X Rimfire

[Puncha]

Have any of you guys ever shot this round from a Ruger 10/22?

37gr Super X Lead Hollow Point

What's the overall quality like? Has it has good results on small game? What about four legged pests? My local dealer has informed me that this is the ONLY high speed HP .22 round he has left in stock for the forseeable future?

If I assume that it feeds reliably and has comparable accuracy, can it's terminal ballistics be equal to CCI's mini mag?

I have used them for years with great success. They are clean, accurate, reliable, and effective on small game. Ballistics are the same as the mini-mag. Both of my 10/22s do well with them. My only complaint is that they seem overly effected by extremely cold weather, often to the point of not providing enough energy to cycle the 10/22 bolt. This is not likely to be an issue where you live.

Did he give you any info on why this will be the only on in stock? Have you tried CCI Stinger? It moves out about 1600fps.

Not to be a jerk but where in the heck do you live that there's only ONE .22LR loading availible?!? Even in the most backwoods areas of the country have I found at a minmum three loadings...

In case no one looked, his location is "South East Asia."

Could we TRY not to be ugly Americans here, and help a fellow shooter out?

I've used the things, but it has been a while. Nothing wrong with them. I like to wipe my 10/22 magazine with a rag every few mags full, no matter what ammo, and clean the magazine and gun occasionally. So far, the 10/22 has fed perfectly until I let it get too dirty, and the type of ammo didn't matter much. It does seem to like plated ammo a bit better, but Super X is copper plated AFAIK.

Best of luck!
