Hi there,
I just ordered a Ruger SR 22 pistol and was told CCI is the best ammo to use in it, especially for break in and I will be only target shooting.

What should I be looking for to use other than 22 LR and I see some CCI 22lr is also labeled LRN ?

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich.  Congrats on a great little pistol!  It is just hard to beat a Ruger.   The entire CCI line up of .22 ammo pretty much sets the bar for performance.  You know that .22 pistols can be fussy eaters, but I cannot remember the last time someone had a problem with CCI ammo feeding well.  I think you will be well served to stay with the CCI Mini-Mags as they are a great shooting round, and very reliable.  I almost never shoot LRN (Lead Round Nose) ammo as I find the copper plated rounds are much cleaner (CPRN or CPHP).  Once your pistol is well broke in, try some lower velocity rounds to see just how tight you (and your new gun) can get!  Give me a shout at 800-317-9506 if you have any further questions.
