Ammo choices for Kadet?
« on: August 27, 2008, 06:13:53 PM »
I've been told rimfire rifles are each different with respect to what kinds of ammo they like.  Is the Kadet the same, or will it perform well with pretty much anything?  What kind of ammo do you guys use in yours, and what kind of results do you get?

Thanks!

The Kadet (and most rimfire pistols) are much more forgiving than rimfire rifles. One reason is that you tend to shoot the rifles at longer ranges than the pistols. I shoot pistols (especially rimfire pistols) at 25 yards, tops. I shoot 452/453 rifles at 75-100 yards usually. That extra distance really opens groupings up.

What I usually do is find the best round for my 453, which is Winchester PowerPoint, when I can find it, and Wolf, when I can't find the Winchester. Both shoot fine from the Kadets I've had, so I just stuck with that; its just easier and cheaper to buy in bulk.

Onl if I had feeding troubles with the pistol, would I change to two different ammos. That happened to me once with a S&W 22A, which had trouble with Wolf ammo.
