I've gone through 1100 rounds in the last month and have had ZERO problems with it. Including fellow shooters, I've seen approx. 4 thousand rounds shot (in September) and no one seems to have problems with it.
I have yet to see any Federal .22 ammo that was worth a (bleep). I have shot about a thousand rounds over the last ten years and - none - of it was really "satisfactory".Is anyone else seeing a recent drop in quality on Federal ammunition? Specifically standard load .22LR?
I've gotten to where I don't shoot anything but Federal Bulk Pack from Wal-Mart. I've got 14 22 rifles and handguns, and while Federal BP may not be the "best" in any, it works fine in all of them. I don't remember the last time I had a missfire.
(Note: One exception. My wife's Bersa Firestorm really likes CCI mini mags so I keep a couple of boxes around for it.)
Just yesterday I sighted in a 77/22. I tried both CCI mini mag, and WWFBP. That's what I happened to have at the house. The FBP shot slightly better groups to my surprise.
I'm quite happy with it.
