I don't think the cycling is the main issue. The description says that they might not clear the barrel and firing a second round would cause major damage. After looking through a bunch of feedback on these rounds, it sounds like a LOT of people have no problems firing them through their rifles. Although I didn't see anything regarding the 15-22 specifically. I might have to be a guinea pig and pick up a box. Quieter than an airgun they say!

i think you will need a suppressor to get that affect.

Last night the 2 replacement boxes of the AR Tactical came from Cabelas as a replacement for the first 2 boxes that came open and spilled all over the place. One of the boxes was again broken open and rounds were again loose in the box. I'm not going to bother to contact Cabelas and complain a second time, I'll just have to make a trip out there and buy a lot in bulk. I tried to test them out at the range this past Saturday, but there were too many people waiting to sight in their muzzle loaders, so I left without shooting.
 
I'm sure most people who own, or are getting the S&W M&P 15-22 Performance Center Model know that they CAN'T, I repeat CAN'T use CCI Stingers due to having tighter/match chambers.

I love the Stingers in my Walther P22, they POP louder than even Mini Mags (which I shoot religiously in my P22...except for when I wanna hear that POP and go for Stingers).

I've still yet to try them in my MOE, but after reading about the 36 grainers bein more accurate, I may just go for some CCI HP 36's, but I'm definitely gettin in on that Cabelas sale for the tacticals!!

Couldn't sleep last night, so at around 1 AM, I placed the order at Cabelas for 4 boxes of the AR, and a dry box. Without the dry box I could have bought 5 boxes for the same price, but I did need another dry box. Hope all 4 boxes come intact this time.
 
I live 12 miles from a Cabela's so I'm going over to get in on that 17.99 deal.
I like to stick with something I know works.
My Rem 597 and my Buckmark don't like the Fed bulk so I'll try the CCI in those also.
 
Made the mistake of telling my wife I ordered another 1500 rounds of the AR tactical at dinner. She thought the 4000 rounds of 22's was enough. I guess they just don't understand! I told her the 2 bricks of Thunderbolt don't count since I not going to shoot them thru the 15 22 or the Sig 522.

Is that true. I have only shot 40gr. blazers and am gonna purchase the mini mag's yet but was going to get the 40gr and not the 36gr. Guess i'll have to get both and try them out.

you'd have to do some testing to be sure, but one could make the argument that the 1:15" twist on the 15-22 makes it slightly friendlier to heavier bullets.

most .22 rifles out there are typically 1:16" i think... but don't quote me on that.

The rate of twist on the 15-22 is 1:14...
 
see page 3 for actual results.. i'd like to see more people posting their results though.

How did you place an order for the CCI AR? They aren't listed on the website.
 
Make sure you put in the code so you get free shipping. The code will be at the top of the page. XWINTER I believe was the promo code. Just looked again, now the code is XSANTA

Seach "CCI Tactical" on cabelas.com I linked it for you below. I just purchased this last night too.

The only problem is that is not a very good deal. That's the usual $20 per box plus $20 for the storage box. But the ammo is supposed to be on sale for $18 a box and I just bought 3 of the ammo storage boxes from Them for $7.50 each. So at the sale prices this deal should be $80, give or take a buck.
