Ammo Deals

I've used this ammo for the last few months. I've put over 1000 rounds down range and haven't had any issues. Perfect for the range.

Top shelf ammo for the price. 125 rounds without a hiccup. Might want to consider a lighter round in a compact...kicked too much for my wife in my sr40c (usp handled it like a champ) but I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. Maybe 165gr so we can both use it :)

All of the rounds in the 555 box had spinning bullets loosely crimped. The results are erratic velocity readings and failures to load and eject. I am very fearful of getting a squib. I shoot a Taurus TX 22. I will save this stuff for my single action Ruger single six revolver where I can shoot slowly and react to a misfire or squib unlike shooting quickly in a semi auto.

Rounds poorly made. Bullets spin and bend inside casing. CCI rounds are rock solid by comparison. These rounds jam frequently, have multiple duds per magazine, and are generally unreliable. Not happy with my purchase and will not ever purchase again.

Lots of duds, sometimes 3%+. Very inconsistent velocities if you chrono them, but you don't need a chrono to feel the difference in recoil from shot to shot, or hear the very different sound of the report from shot to shot. Expect lots of practice clearing every type of malfunction, failure to feed, failure to extract, failure to eject. And they're also really, really dirty. I have one .22 pistol that sometimes keyholes, but only with Automatch. It's just that bad. On the plus side, I get even more duds and even more malfunctions of every kind with Remington and Winchester bulk pack. Additionally I've never had a case head rupture or a split case with any Federal product. That's more than I can say for Winchester. I've even had case heads rupture with the expensive Winchester Super-X that comes in the plastic trays. Look, this is the cheap stuff. It's floor sweepings. You knew this going in. It's good enough for plinking, but keep a cleaning rod with you in case you get a dud stuck in the bore. You will get lots of practice clearing malfunctions. Maybe if you shoot them in a revolver or a manually operated repeating rifle they aren't so bad, but all my .22s are semiauto. Despite the name--hey Federal, is it a joke? it's not very funny--Automatch makes every one of them choke and puke, the 10/22, the Mk. III pistol, the Henry AR7, the Kel-Tec P17, every one of them. It's garbage. And I keep buying it, because I'm not going to buy the expensive stuff, not when all I do is plink, maybe practice some point-shooting.

Easy to order online. I get it 5-7 days; I live in NJ. Ammo always fires, no duds. I also like the history of the bullet and caliber, how it came to be. This is the only place I get my ammo from.

value, quality and performance was as well as expected for the costs.
