It’s okay bulk ammo but nowhere near CCI Standard in accuracy. It’s also supersonic and a bit dirty.
Would you happen to be talking about the 100 pack red plastic sleeve that is going 1300FPS? I'm intrigued by the velocity, although I've consistently read that accuracy is garbage in many cases.My favorite accurate hunting ammo is Winchester Super X. There are a couple loads, and one is definitely better than the others but I aint sayin'!
Well, I will allow you a little process of eleimination, and answer: NOPE!Would you happen to be talking about the 100 pack red plastic sleeve that is going 1300FPS? I'm intrigued by the velocity, although I've consistently read that accuracy is garbage in many cases.
Auto Match accuracy is pretty good only surpassed by Aguila 40 gr Lead/CPRN.
If someone is having a lot of FTF's, you either have terrible luck buying ammo (not likely), or more likely you need to clean your gun, replace a weak spring, or reshape your firing pin to strike the primer properly.
No.I have come to the conclusion that today's Automatch is just federal bulk in a differently labeled box with a higher price.
CCI SV and Blazer have consistently produced smallest groups during my 10,000 round test past year. Here's 50 yard T/CR22 target showing CCI SV and Auto Match groups - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...22lr-on-the-cheap.898035/page-2#post-12180149Even CCI seemes to have slipped a little in quality
Looks like damn fine groups given that it's bulk ammo. What gun were you using?Federal Automatch at 50 yards this morning. Nothing to write home, but good plinking ammunition.

IME, those are much better than average 50-yard groups for bulk ammo. Based upon my experience with quite a few guns (including a bunch of CZs), that's about as good as it's going to get for what used to be $.04/round 22 LR.
