Best .22 Mag load for Revolver?

[Calif Hunter]

I have a Taurus .22 mag revolver, which I like. The problem with it is that the CCI Maxi-Mag +V rounds leave a whole lot of unburned powder, which binds everything up after just a couple of cylinders-full are shot. (Unfortunately, I bought a brick of them at a gun show cuz the price was right. They don't group as well in my Marlin 882, either, but they are at least usable in that!) I realize that most .22 mag rounds won't fully burn up in a handgun, but does anyone have any experience with other brands that work better? The only other ammo I have tried is the standard Winchester, and it was better. How is the new Remington, Winchester Supreme, etc. ammo?

CH - The traditional, short answer is that .22's are the most ammo sensitive of all. You need to start with the cheapest ammo, work your way up and see what works with your individual gun. Some shoot anything and some only one or two kinds(or none) accurately. Good luck and when you find a good one, buy more with the same lot number. John
