Afternoon Win Mag - glad to see you’re doing a serious comparison of .22 LR target ammo. My go to ammo is Federal bulk pack since it’s about 16-18 bucks a box. Plenty good for my uses. Actually, my rugers aren’t picky I have shot most everything in them. When I want to get the best (for me) it’s CCI standard velocity. It’s 1070 MV which is what the green box CCI is published to be. Always hard to find around here. Straight std vel CCI is pretty darn good.
Oh cool, you got a SR-22. That’s got the fellas buzzing on rimfirecentral. According to their posts, the customer service at Ruger isn’t sure if the threaded barrel will be available as a stand alone item or in a ‘conversion kit’ what that may be. Also no idea on the when.
The barrel is fairly easy to remove, once you ignore the typo in the manual, and use a 9/64 allen wrench instead of the 3/32 listed in the manual.
I hope they start carrying that threaded barrel soon. My guess is a "kit" would include the cap screw, lock washer, and allen wrench, along with the barrel itself. A corrected set of instructions would be nice, although I wasn't slowed too much by the bad info.
