Federal Target or Match ammo is not the same as their Bulk Pack ammo. For starters, Target ammo will have a more consistent casing rim thickness, more consistent bullet shaping, and will be sub-sonic in the 1070 fps range. Fed Bulk will be just that - bulk ammo. Probably a little of the stuff that didn't make the cut as far as "quality" ammo is concerned. And Bulk is going to be high velocity in the 1250 fps range, generally speaking. Federal Bulk does seem to be the front-runner in bulk ammo for the 15-22 for most people in terms of accuracy. Federal Target would probably give you even more consistent shot patterns, but will be more expensive. And it may not cycle your rifle, that's something you'll have to try for yourself. I've not had any issues with CCI subsonic in my rifle, FWIW. But these days, ammo is ammo, so if it's available and you're willing to purchase then go for it.
