Your 12/15 and your Mk I Ruger won't have any heartburn with high velocity loads...your 1906 Savage, on the other hand, was not made for them.  If you're worried about attack-cans, get a big Martini and convert it to rimfire with a barrel liner so that you can still use the bayonet!

Know what you mean about rimfires taking precedence at times to the big bores.  My wife lets me shoot her AG Parker converted big Martini CMT-22 when I ask nicely, otherwise it's one of my small actions, a 12 or 12/15.

Check Midway and see if they still have Winchester T22's in stock. They were on backorder for over a year and I just got 4 bricks about a month ago.  No misfires in my highwall after about 6 boxes.  I know what you mean about the Remingtons.  Every now and then, I would get one that didn't sound like the rest of them.  Bob

Missfires and bloppers are the most common thing that goes wrong. You don't see many blown cases thank goodness. Wear your shooting glasses.

Guys that shoot our matches seem to like Winchester Super X high speed. I just bought a brick of it to use in a Colt Goverment model .22 conversion kit my son has been shooting.  Intended to replace the Eley Sport. It needs some kick to cycle.  Will report later.   

However last few matches I shot used some  20 plus year old RWS Pistol Match. Pawn shop that I bought that 7 brick lot of RWS R 50 from last fall came up with 6 bricks of the Pistol ammo.  R50 and Pistol either one is doing well.  Some of the best groups I have ever shot in several rifles, Gave a few boxes away and same thing good reports from all. Got a steal on both lots and am now fully stocked with match ammo.   

Using Pistol Match placed 2nd in the Rimfire lever Silhouette match yesterday.  If I had not screwed up the Chicken bank could have been my best score to date that match.  Rams fall ever so slow, but hit 10 and they all went over. It prints about 1 moa lower than RWS R 50 same rifle and range.

Buying old ammo has it's pitfalls though.  I also bought a large lot of Eley Silhouex from the same guy.   Wax had dried out and is hard to chamber.  Ended up putting 250 at a time in the vibrating case tumbler. Take them out and into a plastic peanut butter jar, spray some balistol and roll it around.  Guys that are particular about there rimfire ammo think this is terrible but it's shooting good no misfires and ran 100 through the CPA other day. Wiped clean with a few patches no leading at all.  It's certantly better than anything Wal Mart has.  Not going to shoot any matches with it. Probably all 50 feet indoors or the S&W M 34 Kit Gun

That Florida pawn shop likes me now. 3 trips 21 bricks of ammo bought from him. Sold about half the RWS off to other shooters. So far no takers on the Eley that needs to be tumbled

Anybody intrested ?

I've had very good experiences with CCI standard velocity, both in terms of reliability and of accuracy.  Around here (southeastern PA) it goes for 23-25/brick.   

The guys I shoot with have given up completely on Remington.  We've had individual boxes that had as many as 5 failures to fire.  When you look at the "failed to fire" can on the range, almost all of the failed cartridges are Remingtons.

In a couple of my rifles I've had a bit better performance out of the Match Target over the Match Extra...go figure!

I'll second the CCI Standard Velocity for plinking ammo in older guns not designed for the HV stuff. Misfires are very few and accuracy is generally good as well. It is not match ammo but it works fine for plinking and can killing. The old stuff from many years ago with the green label was great stuff, so great that they now call it Green Tag and get a premium for it.

Winchester T22 used to be good when you could find it. It seems to be very scarce lately. A friend of mine used to shoot smallbore silhouette and would put his high priced ammo in Winchester T22 boxes so others wouldn't know what he was shooting. The Mexican stuff whether it is marked Eley, Fiocchi, or Aquila generally goes off OK but the report varies greatly as does the accuracy when one doesn't sound right. I've killed a lot of cans with it though.
