I saw this stuff in my local Can-tire for $50.00 1K and just wondered if anyone tried it yet. It's supposed to be for high-cap magazines and since I have a Marauder kit I would like to know how it works. I usually use Fed 525 packs with no issues. TC
 
I find the quality of Winchester rimfire ammo absolute garbage.

Also I prefer the copper washed/jacketed .22 ammo. I find they run a lot cleaner in my 10/22.

Generally I stick to Federal Bulk or CCI ammo. I used Winchester Super X and I couldn't wait to finish the box, around 25-30% more misfires and I found it was dirty ammo.
 
American eagle ammo is 4¢ or less at WSS. Shoots just as good as the m-22 stuff. It's always good to try and see how your gun groups with it. Dynapoint works really well in my moss- tac but jammed the worst.
Sometime you get what you pay for. Sometimes you don't!
 
Depends on how much you shoot and what you can afford. How much would 5000 rounds of mini mags cost? $200 taxes in for AE 36 or 40g.
I know CCI are great and for compitition I totally agree, but if you're plinking at paper, why not save a bunch of money?
 
Winchester Wildcats out shoot CCI Std, wolf match & Federal Gold in my Browning Medalist & Challenger, hard to believe but's a fact in those two pistols
Odd FTF but not bad, I find Fed Bulk & anything Rem to be troublesome

I just tried that ammo. No issues. except a couple of stovepipes. It's black colored copper jacketed so it doesn't foul the barrell too much. I'll buy it again.

Just when I was giving up hope you have to post this! I haven't had much luck with Win. ammo in the past but with this stuff I thought I would give it a try. But with 1 for and 1 against I may wait a while yet. I have been happy with Fed. TC
 
I use M-22's in my 10/22 Nomad with BC Steel Lips mags and they are the best shooting ammo ive used... they feed perfectly. I havent found ammo I like more other than Blazers that come in the 50rnd boxes (not the bulk) which would be my 2nd choice but cost more than the bulk M-22's, then Id shoot bulk blazers. I havent had any luck with anything else. Mostly I get rounds jammed as they feed from the mag. I havent had ONE FTF or Jam with the M-22's and im on 1500 rounds in only a month or so.
 
I have been using this stuff in my 10/22 and it has worked very well for me. Better than hollow point stuff, doesnt hang up in the chamber. And I almost never clean it.
 
Not sure what hollow point stuff you guys have problems with in your 10/22's. Back in my sr22 days it shot everything. 555 packs, cci, anything at all. The only problem was accuracy wasnt all that great.
