No different... it started with 14 for lot number

Although I've gotten some good and poor accuracy results from bulk blues I can't recall ever having more than one or two that didn't go off from a box.

I am getting "miss fires from all 4 of my guns using this newest bunch of ammo.

They are getting a Solid hit on the primers but not igniting I have even run them through 3 times to try to get them to work...nothing !
at least 1 per 10 shots is a DUD. I have had Very good luck with this ammo in the past, but wow not so much any more.

I actually switched to bulk 333 Winchester for the day and had better results LOL

any one else having issues with this federal ammo ?

here is a pick and the lot number. I bought a case of this crap !

All of Federal's .22 ammo went for a crap a while back Try a different lot number. It got better again.

If you read the threads from suppliers were in for another 22LR drought in the next year or longer... we may be fighting for boxes of this stuff.

I’ve personally shot three boxes of that stuff that I bought two years ago with only two FTF’s. Both my S&W model 17 and my Ruger 22/45 loves it and the accuracy is perfectly fine for 10-15yd pistol practice.
