[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2674249, member: 69192"] I’ve got a Ruger 77/22 that is not too fond of the Yellow Jackets. Over the past few years with all the shortages what we’ve been doing is finding rifles that are similar to what we hunt with, only in .22 long rifle. As a result we bought what we could find for ammunition. With this said we ended up with a wide variety of .22 manufacturers. What we ended up finding was that there were certain brands of ammunition that either did or didn’t like our rifles. For a brand of .22 hollow point that I found to shoot best was the Aguilla 38 or 29 grain (?) bullet. Also something that my son found on You Tube that has helped with accuracy has been lubing or bullets with a mixture of beeswax and olive oil. I’m not sure of the ratio, but it is mixed to the consistency of that of automotive grease. He uses the wax toilet ring (yes it’s a new one!!) heats it until it melts and then he adds some olive oil. He lets it cool in a margarine tub. Once the stuff has cooled it’s put in a small zip lock bag. Go to the range, run some grease onto your fingers, wipe the bullet heads to leave a very thin coating and…hopefully see an improvement in accuracy. We noticed the lube making a difference in accuracy when we shot an off brand box of .22s that really smelled due to the lube that was like a preservative that was all over the ammo. The stuff stunk, but….they shot really well. This concoction that I described works, I thought it was crazy until I tried it and it worked!! [/QUOTE]
