Project Appleseed
I am signing my nephew up for a Project Appleseed event.
https://appleseedinfo.org/
This is the events calendar for 2022:
https://appleseedinfo.org/schedule/?qst ... te=Arizona
He is a 10 year old boy who has shown a natural ability for marksmanship.
The program is a combination of American history and marksmanship training.
He will be using a Ruger 10/22 with Tech sights.
I will provide the ammunition.
What .22 ammo would the board recommend ?

Re: Project Appleseed
A lot of people knock Aguila because they are made in Mexico, but I have had excellent luck with that brand. And they are also Eley-primed, so much more reliable than most other bulk .22 ammo.

Thanx for the reply.Suck My Glock wrote: ↑January 13th, 2022, 1:46 pm A lot of people knock Aguila because they are made in Mexico, but I have had excellent luck with that brand. And they are also Eley-primed, so much more reliable than most other bulk .22 ammo.
I guess what I asking was would a subsonic be preferable to a round nose ? I'm trying to narrow it down to a match grade round that would feed reliably and be accurate.
I will put Aquila on the list.
The biggest problem will be availability, but I have some time to accumulate.

Re: Project Appleseed
This is a great time, I am going to sign my son up as well. I really enjoyed going and learning the history of the unfamiliar people who contributed to our resistance.McKnight55 wrote: ↑January 13th, 2022, 12:12 pm I am signing my nephew up for a Project Appleseed event.

Re: Project Appleseed
Subsonic would be fine if he were shooting a bolt gun, but I don't think it will cycle well in his 10/22. Not really match grade stuff, but I have had excellent results for reliability and accuracy with pretty much anything from CCI.McKnight55 wrote: ↑January 13th, 2022, 3:04 pmThanx for the reply.Suck My Glock wrote: ↑January 13th, 2022, 1:46 pm A lot of people knock Aguila because they are made in Mexico, but I have had excellent luck with that brand.

Re: Project Appleseed
A standard velocity 22 LR something in the 1080 range should work fine for him.. But, what ever you decide to use be sure to test fire a few magazines of it to make sure it will feed reliably so he wont have to spend time clearing jams so he will be able to concentrate on his shooting.McKnight55 wrote: ↑January 13th, 2022, 12:12 pm I am signing my nephew up for a Project Appleseed event.

Re: Project Appleseed
I will second the Aguila and CCI recommendations. Those two are, in my experience, the most reliable you can find (of the affordable kind--I haven't tried the expensive stuff) .

Re: Project Appleseed
I posted this thread looking for verification.
I was assuming CCI would carry the board.
I have enough CCI to cover the event.

Exactly right. My hope is the kid gets his badge on the first go round. He has an interest,hopefully we can spark a fire.

Re: Project Appleseed
I shot Nomra Match white box from a 10/22 and earned my patch.

Re: Project Appleseed
My family has shot 3 Appleseed, all with CCI Sv ammunition.
It is more than adequate for 25 yds

Re: Project Appleseed
CCI standard velocity or Aguila. Reliable .22lr ammo.
