Ruger says use standard velocity ammo. Is there a safety reason?
Comments
I have seen the one about not using CCI STINGER ammo
due to chamber issues in the target and some tactical models.
Is this what you are referring to?

Don't think so.
Here it is directly from the horse's mouth, from page 13 of the Ruger 10-22 instruction manual off their website:
quote:
http://www.ruger.com/products/_manuals/1022.pdf
The RUGER 10/22 CARBINE and 10/22 Rifles are chambered for, and designed to properly function with, only the 22 caliber Long Rifle rimfire cartridge, standard, high velocity, or hyper-velocity, manufactured to U.S. industry standards.
Do not use 22 short, 22 long, 22 shot, or 22 cartridges loaded with blunt-nosed, sharp-shouldered, or "explosive" bullets. They will not function reliably and may jam the mechanism or discharge before being fully chambered. Use only ammunition that functions correctly in your rifle. See "Warning - Malfunctions,
Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Where did Ruger say that??
