Ruger says use standard velocity ammo. Is there a safety reason?

I have not seen that warning.
I have seen the one about not using CCI STINGER ammo
due to chamber issues in the target and some tactical models.
Is this what you are referring to?0 -

Don't think so.
Here it is directly from the horse's mouth, from page 13 of the Ruger 10-22 instruction manual off their website:
quote:
http://www.ruger.com/products/_manuals/1022.pdf
The RUGER 10/22 CARBINE and 10/22 Rifles are chambered for, and designed to properly function with, only the 22 caliber Long Rifle rimfire cartridge, standard, high velocity, or hyper-velocity, manufactured to U.S. industry standards.
Do not use 22 short, 22 long, 22 shot, or 22 cartridges loaded with blunt-nosed, sharp-shouldered, or "explosive" bullets. They will not function reliably and may jam the mechanism or discharge before being fully chambered. Use only ammunition that functions correctly in your rifle. See "Warning - Malfunctions,
Seems pretty straightforward to me.0 -

Where did Ruger say that??0 -
IIRC, the manual from mine from way back said the same thing but the 10/22 TD didn't say anything about it either. That said, mine tends to like wax-coated lead better than copper slugs like the CCI's. 0 -
