From the CCI info page: ideal for bolt-action and single shot .22 LR rifles ... These cartridges may be used in semi-automatic firearms, however manual cycling of the action may be required.

At 710 fps the ammo is too weak to reliably cycle just about every semi-auto .22 - that's why Brandt calls it "bolt-action ammo."
If I can get my hands on some of this, I think I might test using this ammo with my 15-22P pistol bolt in my rifle... with the lighter weight pistol bolt this may be the perfect combination.
