My high hopes for this standard velocity ammo were quickly dashed in that: 1 The accuracy is not good compared to similarly priced .22 caliber ammo; and 2 multiple failure-to-eject (FTE) incidents occurred in a relatively new and proven .22 caliber bolt-action rifle. I suspected manufacturing variances in the brass case dimensions, and my background in Quality Assurance, along with a caliper to measure the case, proved this to be true. I found many dismal reviews online for the PRO-22 product and wished I had checked them before buying this ammo. The marketing hype on the box – 'the best there is' – is a totally false statement. I am now limited to using the remaining ammo in my Heritage revolver.
I took this to the range tonight and had multiple problems with ejections in three different guns: a Ruger, a Marlin, and a Browning. The same three guns ran CCI Mini Mags and Armscor flawlessly. I don't know if failure rates are higher with rimfire ammunition, but this was much worse than with other brands.
I have an HK 416 22LR and a Taurus TX22 Compact 22LR. They are not picky at all, and will eat whatever I give them, but, good Lord, with this ammo they were jamming all the time. The HK could not cycle a single round. The Taurus was a bit better, jamming 1 out of 3 rounds. I understand that 22 LR can be bad, but when you put something in a box with gold on it, it's expected to perform good.
Got 100 rounds free with the purchase of the LCP II 22LR. First 10 rounds—no problems, but after that, problems galore. It wouldn’t cycle, fire, and rounds would get stuck in the chamber. I shot about 50 rounds, then switched to Remington Thunderbolt and only had two stovepipes in 300 rounds. I was aware of this ammo’s reputation, but for free, I figured I’d give it a whirl and leave feedback.
Tried shooting the Browning .22 through two different Rugers—a Mk4 and an SR22—with very poor results. Neither gun would feed them properly, both had ejection issues, and there were even some non-firing rounds. Neither of these guns have been very picky about .22 ammo before the Browning failures. I spent more time fighting with trying to shoot this ammo than it was worth.
