Good ammo from my experience. Shot a lot of the old production and recently a few bricks of the newer packaged rounds. Not a hitch and accurate from a SW 22 Victory, Win 67 and Ruger SP.

I had 6 boxes of it from 2013 and one from this year, opened one old box and the new one, both were so dirty and smokey shooting I gave them all away! I did get 500lbs of whelweights and a canvas tent in exchange! LOL!

I'm surprised to read the different results guys report in this thread. I've had generally good results in my .22's and never and FTF or dirty parts or carbon build up. It isn't my first choice, but I wouldn't shy away from it if it is available based on my results.

Surprising or just strange? I've never had any kind of problem with it. Even in sub zero temps where other brands of ammo wouldn't even fire..

I have run Automatch and other Federal ammo through multiple rifles and pistols in the last year, a 22/45 this past weekend and it's the most *consistent* for sure, the least accurate of any brand or type with the exception of Remington bulk.

I bought a couple of cartons and had as many malfunctions with it in handguns as I did with regular Federal bulk pack. It was better than Remington but that isn't saying much. I sold the remainder off at cost after shooting a half of one carton.

I wish folks would let us know whether they're referring to pre-panic production or post-panic production, whatever their opinions and experiences might be. I do think that the stuff sold years ago was pretty good---and especially for the price at that time. It could well be that the Auto Match made in the last several years just isn't as good...but it's hard to divine that from all the comments.

Iv'e had better then expected accuracy with post panic in my cooper M57 and don't see a lot of difference between the pre panic but I don't spend a lot of time trying to wring out good groups with Automatch in my cooper mostly just pinking with the 10/22!

I've had zero issues with any of it.

I bought some a few months back and tried it my Ruger 10-22, it seemed to shoot ok, accuracy was about average compared to other ammo that I tried. Where it really shined was in my Winchester 62A pump, it put 10 rounds into less than a inch at 25 yards.

A 1956 Marlin 39A will shoot smaller groups with FAM than other ammo tested which included Win PP, CCI MM, CCI MM HP, and Wolf MT. Seems that each firearm likes what it likes and it takes some fun to find out what it is.

I had a total of 7 boxes, some from 2013 and some from spring 2016, two or three lots. I tried some from each year. All were very dirty shooting! I ended up giving/trading it all away earlier this summer.

I've ran it though a Glenfield Model 25 and a Zastavas CZ99. They both shoot it very well. For inexpensive bulk ammo, I have nothing negative to say about it.

Granted it's not Federal Premium Ultra Match. But for what it is and the price point, it's good stuff.

I just finished off a box of it in my Ruger MK II, not a single malfunction. It ran fine thru 2 semi auto rifles and a Single Six as well. The MK II is the only 22 I have that likes the stuff accuracy wise. I think I bought that box in late '14/early '15. Two more waiting to be opened.
