From the S&W manual:

"Through our testing, Smith & Wesson has also found that there are several brands and types of .22LR ammunition that do not perform consistently or reliably."

Please note that this is in THEIR testing. Many owners have posted on this forum that they use the ammo with no problems. Others have posted that they have had problems. FWIW, I put about 300 rounds of 10-year old Rem Thunderbolt through mine without a bobble.

The moral of the story is to see how it performs in your 15-22. That's the only thing that matters.
