Federal AutoMatch will not reliably cycle any of my guns.
I’ve tried it in these rifles 1980s era 10/22 AMT Lightning 25/22 S&W 15/22 Ruger 10/22 Takedown And in these pistols My SR22 My Wifes SR22 S&W 22A Ruger Mark ll target Failures to extract. Failures to pick up a new round. Stovepipes This is horrible stuff. Anyone else having the same issues ? |

It's okay for me. It's not Thunderbolt terrible, but it's not CCI good. Usually an issue every mag or two. Fine for plinking. I still have some. This is my experience with it. Except I don't recall any actual feeding/ejection issues. Just lack luster accuracy. |

Huh, very rarely do I have a jam with any of my 22 auto's using automatch. Couple AR 22lr conversions couple 10/22's couple MKII's Advantage arms glock conversion Shoot it thru all my bolt guns as well. Old stuff worked my AA kits, but none of it I purchased a few years ago will at all. |

I've got some automatch somewhere, but haven't tried it in my guns yet.
However, their bulk packs that they used to sell before the panic just sucks. I'm trying to finish off the one box I have, but it's annoying as it has problems cycling on anything I have consistently. |

I had problems with my Glenfield 60. Then I cleaned the rifle. Problems went away. I'm assuming your weapons are pretty clean, right? I have not used any of the boxes I bought within the last year or two, but the stuff I am using from 2014 or so has been decent ammo. It reliably cycles through my 45 auto/22 LR conversions, and an AR 15 22 LR dedicated upper. I like this ammo because other bulk 22 ammo is under-powered to cycle these actions. It always cost a bit more than basic bulk ammo, but I thought it was worth it. At times, nothing else was available, so I got it, or had nothing. I hope the ammo has not changed from what I experienced with my 2014 stock, since I got half a dozen recent 325 count boxes of the stuff. If you haven't already, make sure your actions are cleaned from normal 22 gunk to ensure they function properly. I was getting annoyed with my 22 AR, then I (finally) cleaned the rifle and it functions great, so the issues were mostly on me. I had become spoiled by only cleaning my much used 10/22 every few years, give or take, (other than a quick spray of wd40 every other year, whether it needs it or not). ETA: its always possible to have a weak batch of ammo too, if it wont cycle in anything. Had a few boxes of Winchester 333 that would not cycle in most semi-autos, so I burned through it in my bolt actions. |

I don't know anyone who has a gun that works well with this ammo. The internet, however, seems to love it. I only shoot CCI and Wolf/SK. Obviously, YMMV. |
