Just put the red dot on last night so I thought a trip to the range was in order. Spent about 10 min. getting it zeroed at 25 yds. Shot over 500 rounds and used 5, yes 5 different types of ammo.

Shot 100 rounds of CCI mini-mags 40 gr. / round nose - Perfect
Shot 100 rounds of Federal AE 38 gr. / round nose - Perfect
Shot 150 + rounds of Federal Bulk 550 36 gr / HP - Perfect
Shot 150 + rounds of Federal Bulk Auto Match 325 40 gr. / round nose - Perfect .....
and then TRIED to shoot 25 rounds off CCI Tactical -- My oh My ...
2nd round hung up and jammed got smashed by the bolt.
Got that cleared .. checked the magazine to make sure it was loaded ok, and it was.
Fired 3 shots, the another jam ....
Broke the rifle down, cleaned the bolt, ran the bore snake, lubed the BCG rail ever so lightly and reloaded the magazine.
I fired 5 shots and thought ok I had a dirty rifle, then another jam.
Spent 21.00 bucks on 375 rounds and I am not liking this stuff. Unloaded the remainder of the magazine, and went back to the other ammo.

To end the day I took a fresh sighting in target and sent it down range to 25 yards. I shot 2 20 round mags of Federal 550 wally world, 2 20 round mags of Federal Auto Match (white box ) from wally world, and 1 20 round mag of CCI mini- mag

I was upset about the CCI tactical, guess I will see if CCI will do anything because I think I have a bad box or something. Most people rave about this stuff, and my gun ate through everything perfectly. Any ideas?

Thanks for stopping by, :D

Well that sounds like a nearly perfect day! I am surprised by your issues with the CCI tactical but it goes to show that every gun is different. I am early into the CCI tactical experiment but my M&P appears to love it so far.
