So I tried to search for a topic and came up empty. Are there any concerns using the lesser quality 22LR ammo out of a precision rifle for plinking purposes. Golden Bullet. WIN white box, Federal auto match, cci blazer, WIN M22; cci sub sonic. I have all that is listed and was curious about use. Thanks.

I've heard running copper plated ammo through your match chamber just gunks it up pretty quick. If you're going to run crappy ammo, try to keep it at the subsonic, non copper plated ammo.
It would be more for my son shooting oversized targets (metal) to gain confidence. Not so much tight groups. I have a Ruger SR22 as well but want him familiar with the rifle.
Just be careful of longer ones if you have a match chamber. And like AMan... said be prepared for disappointment.
You may want to look (when ammo is available anyway) into some of the cheaper alternatives in the same line of ammunition.
For example, I run Eley Tenex and Match through my Anschutz almost exclusively, but I would have no problem shooting the much less expensive Eley Club or Eley Sport if I was teaching / familiarizing a new shooter on the rifle.
Ok so black tipped rounds which is my CCI, match, and M22
Ok. My buddy gave a box of Eley and 2 boxes of sks. But I have tone of the other not so quality 22LR.
Mr Steve B w/Anschutz North America told that he had zero qualms about running copper plated ammo out his guns.
I’ve stuck to lead slugs in my Annie’s but if I was casually plinking I wouldn’t think twice.
Minute of soda can just isn’t that fun to me....but if I was running low on ammo or had a new shooter to train cheap ammo would do fine.

These days, it may be what ammo you can get vs what you want. I keep the copper ammo out my precision rifles. I do shoot CCI SV in them.
