I have been seeing a lot of the yellow boxes of the super X 22LR and it's about twice as high and it just sits there on the shelf. Also my Taurus TX 22 competition pistol really seems to like the Federal automatch no malfunctions and the accuracy is very good.

    I'm glad you did this. You need to shoot through the chrono and into the jelly every time. JK I have somewhere between 3.5K and 5k of these Automatch. Not because I felt they were so good at the time it's just because they were available at the time. In shooting them I found that my target 10/22 just loves them. I was talking about them one day and a guy asked if I was referring to the Eley Match and when I told him the Federal Automatch bulk pack he kind of laughed. I told him not to laugh too hard since he didn't see what I was doing with them on paper. As your test shows though, the bulk pack can produce a squib every so often. I would have like to of seen the SD from the Chrono and the average form the 64 rounds. As always thanks for the video!!

    Knowing where it fits into the use profile is important. I consider using .22LR as a self defense round as a last resort option only.

    Just picked up one box of the auto match for 21.19. I wasn’t sure if it would fire so I did a search and found your video. I will be going back for more while they still have it. I just got my TX 22, it does not like cascade 22lr. The box says 1250 FPS, but it won’t cycle the gun. It will shot the round and eject it, but it locks back as if it’s out of rounds even with rounds still in the magazine. Shot some blazer 38grn and it ran pretty good one lock in two magazines. CCI mini mag no issues. I’ll try this federal this weekend, hopefully it runs good for me like it does for you. I’ll post if it doesn’t. Thank you

    As a control we needed a punch shot into that same block of jelly. Just to make sure that the jelly wasn't a little denser this time. I know that the density was probably the same as before but just as a control and to be a true comparison to the punch. Just some food for thought, and maybe an excuse for another video? Thanks for videos, and as a side note, good reliability test for the tx22 I love mine

    @Tools&Targets I’m obliged to ya for doing this test. And this Texas boy can get kinda persnickety about things like chronographic measurements, so I took the time to go through your video and count each reading, and then crunch the numbers. I tried to cut and paste into this comment field, evidently KZread doesn't like it when you do that. So I can email you the data if you're interested. And BTW, after viewing this, I went to my local Wally World, and they had this very AutoMatch on the shelf. The sticker price was $21.16 for a box of 325 rounds, or 6.5 c per round, which sadly is not a bad price for bulk ammo these days. Walmart had their 3-box limit, so I got three boxes. I’ve yet to find the Punch locally.

    It's hard to pass up for the price for sure. My chrono actually calculates and saves data like the avg, extreme spread, standard deviation, etc. but I totally forgot to put the footage in when I was editing and of course YT doesn't allow you to add footage to a video after it's uploaded.😆

    Over the summer i shot close to a case of auto match threw 4 rifles, my custom 10/22, my ruger precision rim fire, my Bergara bmr, and my cz 457. In firing over 3000 rounds i had 2 failures to fire. Accuracy was good for bulk ammo, depending on the rifle we are talking 3/4 to 2 1/2 in groups at 100 meters. The rprr and the cz loved the stuff at 100, the 10/22 shot it awesomely to 50 yards but then opened up, and the bmr hated it. But for cheap practice and squirrels, you can’t beet this ammo.

    Different ammo, Federal American Eagle, but I was given a couple bricks for Christmas several years ago. Shooting it through three different handguns I had multiple failure to fire and lots of underpowered rounds. Give the failure to fire rounds a quarter or half turn, and they would fire ok. Put the stuff back away for another year until a friend and I wanted to shoot a bunch through our 10-22s. Every round went off fine and maybe only a couple weak ones out of more than 500 shots. It seemed to me that the handguns didn’t always hit the rim hard enough to reliably ignite the powder consistently.
