Question for ruger 10/22 owners?

Has anyone that owns the 10/22 ruger 18 1/2 " barrel shot the .22 LR ammo called Super Colibri .( No gun powder ) Fires from just the primer.


If so have you had any problem with a bullet getting stuck in the barrel or is it pretty safe to shot ? I would like to give them a try but know nothing about them, except that you would have to manually feed them because they only produce approx. 750 FPS.


The .22 shot shells would also be an issue on this question.( safe to shot from the rifle or not ) ?


Any help would be very appreciated.


Thanks|||I would look at .22 lr sub-sonics. These are much quieter than the typical .22 ammo and you don't get that crack of the bullet screaming out of the barrel. This way you don't have to worry about a bullet getting stuck or dealing with loading the rounds manually.|||They will not cycle. They might get stuck. Even if it is a 1% chance, do you you want to play with that? The shot shells will not get stuck. They will not damage the barrel, because lead is much softer than steel. I have seen Colibri (not Super) bullets get stuck in the 16" barrel of a Crickett rifle.

Worst case scenario, you stick a bullet and have to push it out with a rod. The big problem with Super Colibri is that tiny little slug makes it a shorter-than-average round of 22 and 10/22 won't feed them from the magazine. I have to hand load them directly into the chamber (not easy).





I've shot Aguila Super Colibri through my 18.5 barrel and they're actually somewhat loud. They're *much* better through my Marlin 81 with the 23.5 barrel. They really do sound like a pellet pistol when shot from that long barrel. I've shot about 200 rounds through the Marlin so far and none have stuck. I shot 1 round from the Marlin through a chronograph and it scored 562.5 feet per second (20 grain slug).





If you're really concerned about stuck slugs and want more power, I also shot 2 other loads through the chronie. CCI CB Shorts threw a 30 grain slug at 683.4 feet per second. I've read that CCI CB Longs are a little quieter than the CB Shorts, idk why. Remington CBees threw a 40 grain segmented hollowpoint slug at 667.7 feet per second. They are unpleasantly loud even through the 23.5 inch Marlin barrel but they're clearly the best option for pest control.
