Buy recommendations Ammo for TM22 Pro

What is the fav ammo of your TM22 or TM22 pro??

I have been using cci mini mag and have also tried velocitor. Having a hard time these days finding any that are not hollow points with copper tip.

It only likes copper tips, but the last range day it got a little emotional on me for the rest of the day after my partner put a lead tip through it. After that it was jam after jam after jam...

Help?

22 semis have a reputation for being "picky" on ammo but that is bordering on ridiculous. A single plain lead projectile shouldn't be enough to scupper your rifle for the rest of the day. Mini mags and Velocitor is high quality and HV ammo, so I'm not surprised it runs well with those. My TM22 (aluminum/full l length handguard) runs like a sewing machine with blazer or CCI SV. I don't know if it would have fed SV initially as I switched once I had 2.5k+ of blazer through it.

What sort of failures are you having, round count, time since last cleaning, has the chamber been scrubbed and/or checked for a carbon ring, do you mark your magazines, etc?

The older full length handguard tm22s were brought in by O'dell, so im not surprised yours runs well, im also not surprised the newer ones brought in by North Sylva are starting to be of lesser quality/poorer quality control.
