RUGER MKII ammunition
I do not know if this question came up before. Can I fire .22 LR high velocity ammunition in my Ruger MkII pistol?
Thank you.

Re: RUGER MKII ammunition
I would try avoid it, but a few rounds here and there is probably ok.
What rounds in particular is it?

Re: RUGER MKII ammunition
It should function and do fine with high velocity but hyper velocity might be too long for the chamber.
With high round count firearms shooting the equivalent of magnum ammo there is a chance that it will have unwanted wear... but I would recommend looking for an answer on Rimfirecentral.
The US guys have many a Ruger MK and have sent kazilions of rounds down range so they will have a very good understanding of do's and don'ts.
Please have a look here

Re: RUGER MKII ammunition
I have personally fired thousands of HV's through a Ruger Mk.1, and a few hundred Stingers and similar too. No issues.

Re: RUGER MKII ammunition
I had a MKII target, it loved std and HV's, functioned like crap with subsonics. I put a about a thousand to thousand five of CCI Stingers through it and showed no signs of heavy wear.
