____________________So far I have fired 2200rds of the stuff

Not one,,,, issue to report,,, the most rounds fired with out a full clean and lube is 550

mags ( "2" 25rd mags "1" short 10rd mag) have yet to be cleaned except for the externals

Rifle,,,,, Performance Center S&W M&P 15-22

I use this rifle and ammo for varmint and small game hunting, not paper punching so I don't have any groups to display as of yet. But the kill count is getting pretty high

This ammo is accurate enough that I have taken squirrels out at 100 yards with regularity


________________________PROBLEM


This ammo may as well be FMJ,,,, shot a rear facing squirrel and the round went threw the length of the body and kept on going,,,, shot was about 50 yards
Did some water test and it looks as thought the round could almost be reloaded,,,,, ""these rounds do not deform or expand as a HP should""

but I still use them any way due to the fact,,,, where else are u getting ammo this cheap that is accurate, reliable, and only mildly dirty


all in all I recommend this ammo for almost any semi auto .22lr,,, my sig mosquito love it and mini mags ONLY, walter P-22 will shoot any thing but Remington, the 10-22,,,,, well its a 10-22 LOL



Next I want a GSG5-PK for a very small SBR and I hope it too will like the Federal 550 bulk pack


Does any one else have any thing too add good or bad

Lumberton/Beaumont Texas here its went up to $19.97 as well,,, just last week it was $14.97:mad:

not sure why they felt the need for that:confused: but i still buy it cause i know it works every time,,,, and its still cheaper than the CCI mini mags
 
Also went to $19.97 here, up a dollar -must be a nationwide increase.

I too like the stuff and use it exclusively. And I agree that it isn't much of a HP; I guess one could drill each one out, but that might take awhile.

Works good in my S&W 22A, Hi Standard Duramatic 101 I think, and most of the time in my Taurus PT-22. I was worried that bulk ammo might be slightly inferior or that hp's would be problematic in semi-autos, but I don't believe it is.

I want to try it out in my old Winchester model 190. It's been years since I've shot it and as I recall, it tended not to like hp's. I think there's a good chance it'll like this stuff.
 
My SW 15-22 likes it as does my new Ruger SR22 pistol....
 
My M&P15-22 (or should I say, my son's) has been fed the Federal 550 almost exclusively. My gun eats the stuff with with very few issues. I just called my local Walmart and they raised the price a dollar to $19.97 as well. Must be a nation wide thing. It's still a lot cheaper than the CCI Tactical which I also love. Thankfully I have plenty of each on hand.

We need to start a Sticky so that anyone who has info. on where to buy cheap ammo can post it. Just say-n ;)
 
Walmart is raising their ammo pricing on everything. The have Federal 223 in ammo can that started at $140, then $150, now up to $160 in just a couple months! They are smart, they see how much people are buying and raise the price, because most people will keep buying!

On a side not I picked up a brick of CCI blazer 525 rounds at the gun show for $15! It's usually $20 for 500 in my neck of the woods. Couldn't pass it up. I wish they would have had more than one brick...
 
abolutely insane price bumping

Looks like there's an underlying reason for this. This is happening not because it costs more to make but rather the liberal quest to free us from our guns and 2nd amendment, PERIOD.
