Cleanest 22 Ammo?

[Zogman]

What is everyone's thoughts or experience? Cleanest or even the dirtiest.

Thanks in advance for any response.

One person's test. Under 2 minutes. Personal experience I found Aguila to be somewhat dirty.

Federal American eagle are very dirty in my opinion

Aguila. Nasty filthy crap. Picked some up when things started to come back a couple years ago. It doesn’t even pass the sniff test. Glad I didn’t go too wild buying it but it does go bang I guess

I'm damn happy with any Aguila I've shot out of a bolt gun. I really haven't found anything "dirty" since Win. T-22's. I tolerated it because of their accuracy. My standards may be lower since they became scarce.

I have been happy with Aguil accuracy also. I use them in Ruger 10/22 that I purchased in 1968. In fact that is what I have that rifle sighted in with. Still somewhat dirty.

Yeah, I guess it's more of a concern from an automatic. I wouldn't be surprised if the old T-22s wouldn't stop one.

You got a BX2 trigger yet?

No, however it looks like I may need/want one Never mind see post #12

I just now watched a review on t h e BX-2. They are sure inexpensive. I went to Max hardware and bought a lighter spring that fit the trigger. Then I drilled a hole on the back of the trigger guard and tapped it. I used an Allen screw and run it in up against the trigger until it wouldn't fire then backed off a half turn. Do you think the BX-2 would be worth it for me?

 

[LBrandt]

Put in the BX-2 and swapped out the buffer pins with the hard rubber one's. Man what a change for the good. LB

 

[Zogman]

LB I got the one with the red trigger. Got it because of the clip release. Didn't know it was a better trigger. I'll be going to the range next week.

A caveat: IME there's so much difference; you can get cocky or "impatient" and follow through/groups will suffer/open up. I'd just plink around with it for about 25rds THEN get on with serious grouping. IMHO a heavy trigger reinforces follow through by necessity.

Don't get all squirrely with the joy.

 

[Zogman]

I don't get squirrely at my age. May wet my pants though.
