Hey all, first post.
I've read that the Single Six barrel will lead up quickly if you are only shooting long rifle rounds, because of a slight variation in the diameter of the lr vs. the wrf round. Have any of you guys found this to be true?

No. I've owned over a dozen, both blued and stainless, and had no such problems.

Thank you, that's what I hoped to hear. I have a Bearcat, but I think I'd like to add a Single Six to the mix.

I've owned one for almost 20 years and shot an uncountable number of rounds of all kinds of different manufacture out of it. Never had a leading problem at all.

My single six convertible is the only 22 pistol I currently have and I have found that the barrel leads 22lr or 22 mag ammo. I just run the 22 mag cylinder as i carry it for close shots at G-hogs . The single six is in paired with the Savage 93 22 mag for longer shots. The 22 mag is a nice step up in power from the 22 lr out of a 5.5 inch barrel.

Bought my single six convertible used almost 3 years ago. Shoot mostly 22lr and never noticed leading problems. Perhaps because it gets cleaned after each use, and even when I'm just plinking with it won't get more than about 50 rounds through it. This coming year I'm planning on doing a lot more 22 mag. and I'm gonna chrono both the mags and the LR rounds and compare velocities from a 5.5" barrel.

I had a Bisley version that shaved lead like crazy. Would lead up and hardly shoot. Sent it back to Ruger twice, they finally changed the barrel and turned it into a nice revolver. Ended up selling it and buying a 617.

the lead bullet of the 22lr obturates that .001 inch difference in bullet size and in 50 years of shooting the single six i have never had it lead up.

The early ones, reportedly, had a tighter bore than the later ones set up run with both .22 LR and .22 WMR. This one is '56 vintage, flat gate version, second year of production. It has a great trigger and is about as accurate as my K-22. Original hard rubber grips were broken when I got it, fitted this set of Ebony grips. DF

Have any of you guys found this to be true? Stop conversing at the gun counter and public range. 9 out of 10 is mentally handicapped.

I've come to expect more from your new you. I had one of the very early Single Six Convertible pistols. Simply a fine little revolver. I couldn't get it to shoot as I would like, didn't try too many different types of ammo than. Pre-Internet and mostly limited to what the local gunshop had on hand. One of the firearms I truly regret selling. As a matter of fact, only got rid of two since, regret both of those also. One a .243 model 788 I bought new and the other a .22 magnum Marlin I also bought new. Times where harder than on a recently married man making $2.75/hr wiring houses and had to let them go, so I thought. Would of been better to let the first wife go earlier as it turned out. I was and probably still am a slow learner. Be sure and keep that classic Ruger and enjoy it.
