Anybody have good results with this ammo.
How is it different from the fed. bulk other then copper wash. |
|
Its "hotter" than the Fed Bulk Pack, and cycles 99.9% in my AR 22 conversions, so its got the "Auto" part down pretty well.....but "Match", no, it ain't that much more accurate. Fed bulk cycles 97% for comparision.
I've switched to CCI Standard Velocity - sub through my suppressed 22's, accuracy is good, cycles reliably. |

My Ruger Single Six and Standard model auto pistol both love Auto Match along with my Romanian trainer and Izhmash CM-2. Seems to shoot like CCI Mini Mags but cheaper.
I bought all they had at two local Walmart's and now they tell me their warehouse is out of stock. There seems to be some good reviews about Federal American Eagle too. Hope it's good, just placed an order for 5000rds on sale. |

Some have good luck with this ammo, others do not. I tried some last week while testing a new barrel. Had I only used Auto Match I would have had a different opinion of the barrel for being so inaccurate. Look at the target below. The Auto Match didn't do too well compared to the others. It strung out and didn't hold tight group as well. I have had similar results with this ammo in other fire arms, as have others. .22's are funny however, you may actually have a firearm that likes this stuff. If your firearm shoots well with this stuff....try some other ammo, you may have a great rifle just waiting for better ammo than this. BTW–– I set the POI low so I can maintain a good black dot to aim on . Note the Auto Match POI varied from all the other ammo. Had a few of the rounds not varied so much the net results would have been much better however. YMMV
I have several new boxes of this stuff set aside. Perhaps someday I will find one of my firearms that will shoot well with it.
