Firing this ammo produces an acrid smoke that smells of burning plastic. The occasional small clots of unburned power that can be seen fizzling out of the barrel make me think that a better shooter than me would not see consistent results. I concur with the comments about this ammo being quite dirty. Prepare to spend extra time at the cleaning bench.

This stuff is not for plinkers and guy's who think they should be able to run any kind of ammo thru their gun. This stuff is for Bullseye shooting semi-auto pistols for competition. It is very accurate and has enough recoil to work most slides. I have used this ammo in High Standard, Beretta 87 Target, Marvel Conversion and it was accurate and reliable in all 3. Eley priming is second to none.

I will make this short and sweet: my son and I split a brick, he runs my childhood Ruger 10/22 and I run a sig 226 with .22 LR conversion- both firearms started very clean. my sig had major this ammo cycling and misfires, while my son has numerous misfires. I rated it 2 bullets because its better than no ammo. Next !

This is the dirtyiest ammo I have EVER used,failur rate is high,smells real bad,won't feed very well in several handguns and rifles I have.Not sure what is all over the cases,but they are really greasy and dirty. I gave it a one because there wasen't anything lower than that. Will NOT buy anymore of this ammo,WORST STUFF I HAVE EVER SEEN.

I began testing in my Taurus Model 96 revolver w/ 6" bull barrel. Accuracy at 30 yards was very good at 1"-1.5" with iron sights. If you count my 1 flyer it was 2". I think with a better reference dot (I used small orange against white a paper plate), I could tighten that up. So I give it a rating of "Excellent" for accuracy. However, a 30% failure rate made shooting difficult, even using thumb cocking and single action mode. Yes it has an unusual smell. It did not appear very dirty in my gun after 150 rounds. Not sure what the rim ignition problem is, but it severely compromises the quality of the product.

I purchased a large quantity of this ammo because of the favorable reviews, and because my preferred Federal Auto Match is almost impossible to find at this time. I tried it in three firearms: a new Walther P22, a High Standard H-D, and a Smith & Wesson K22 revolver. There is so much gunk on the cases that it was VERY difficult to force the rounds into the K22's cylinder; I did not proceed with that gun. In the High Standard, a gun that had been flawless for decades, there was a 40% failure to fire, and some ejection problems. In the Walter? An absolute nightmare. About a 90% failure rate, encompassing everything imaginable (feed, fire, extract, and simultaneous extract/feed problems). To top it all, the rounds give off a relatively unpleasant smell. Anyone want to buy five bricks from me? >;

I can't get this ammo to group at 50 yards consistency.... the best it did for me was a half-dollar size group. I can do better with Wolf.

These are good.

I have an LSP Match barrel on my Victor and this ammo is the only one to feed and fire reliable. LSP is designed for Green and Blue tag CCI but I still got failure to feed or fully chamber. The Aquila Match Pistol work every time. When indoors, the smoke has a funky smell.

I have shot 1 box of 50 so far. From my 10/22 they are quiet . Yesterday I had to shoot a racoon that had attacted my dog. Lights out with one shot to the head up in a tree. I have also shot squirrels with this as well. In my Buckmark with Leopold Gilmore I pulled off a shot on a very small sqirrel that was 40 to 50 foot up a tree. I still can't believe I did that shot with a pistol. In a pistol this ammo is not quiet but not obnoxious either .
