my ruger mark iii hunter pistol loves these

i had been using federal's bulk .22 lr ammunition for a few years with very little problem, but last year my ruger mark iii hunter target pistol started misfiring or not feeding bullets or not ejecting shells an average of 30% of the time.
in my quest to find the perfect .22 lr bullet, i tried other .22 lr brands---remington, cci, lapua, aguila, etc.---in different loads, without success.
yesterday, i saw this federal automatch bulk pack at our local wal-mart. i bought 2 packs. my son and i fired all 650 bullets in our ruger mark iii. only 1 misfire. no feeding or ejection problems. i guess i won't be sending the ruger mark iii back to ruger for repair. i guess i'll be buying more of this federal automatch .22 lr ammunition. even with the higher price, the actual cost comes out about even when you consider the number of bullets we've wasted on misfires, feeding and ejection problems.
