Any one tried this Bulk 22 LR Federal

[subvet]

Has anyone tried this Federal 22LR ammo?
Good, Bad, OK?

Plan to use in S&W MP15-22 and ISSC MK22 SCAR

TIA for any feedback or opinions?

 

[Billcw]

works well out of my stuff

 

[drking2]

worked well for me, in 10/22 and ruger mk3

 

[Yoshi]

Savage MKII loves it.

 

[F-Stop]

All my rim fires prefer it over the other Wally world bulks like Winchester and rem.

 

[Sundazes]

Where did you get it? How much?

 

[joppaj]

My 10/22 hated it. I had better luck with Remington.

 

[Robert]

I have about 95% success with Federal .

 

[rouchna]

I have a Marlin 795 and a Ruger 22/45... No issues with this ammo at all.

 

[Crxflippr]

All my rim fires prefer it over the other Wally world bulks like Winchester and rem.

Ditto. More accurate and reliable.

I decided to see what they had cause I received a Cabelas gift card from work.

Its the only ammo I use in my Remington 597 rifles. I have had pretty good luck with it over the years.

 

[Demoneyes86]

I use the federal big packs from wally world my 10/22 eats em up with no problems.

 

[jbollman]

I have only run about 200 rounds of it through my 15-22 but no issues yet

 

[NY Transplant]

My Marlin 925 and Savage 64 like it. Recently purchased 4200 rounds.

 

[jac43k]

I've used it in my Ruger Mark II and Walther P22 with no issues.

I guess the days of .99 box .22 is gone forever! I remember when Kmart in Joppatowne closed, They had a special on Fed Lightening for about .67 / box. I remember the girl at the register freaked and called the store manager when I said... I will take it all!

My 10/22 hated it. I had better luck with Remington.

I used to run Fed Champ all the time in my 10/22, with no issues. Weird. I've always had the best results from Federal out of the three big bulk packs.

That said, I find that CCI's stuff can often be worth the extra cost, especially if you're trying for precision shooting at ranges > 25yds.

 

[Mark75H]

I have no trouble shooting it, but its the second dirtiest ammo I've ever used. Buy a lot of it and get used to cleaning your gun.

I'll pay a little more and shoot a few more rounds between cleanings.

 

[JavaDan]

I have been using it with no real issues out of my 10-22 and Buckmark.

However, I was practicing for our club pistol league and a range mate gave me some CCI 40gr Mini-Mags to shoot.

My groups instantly shrunk with the Buckmark using the Mini-Mags.

So, the Champion is inexpensive, pretty reliable and makes great range ammo. It is, IMHO the most accurate bulk ammo, but there are better out there if you are an accuracy junkie.
