Good price, have you tried them yet?

How do they perform?

Here is the states most people use this stuff in semis and autos. We have a lot of target guys but they are a smaller audience.

The overall characterization of M-22 over here is sorta junk ammo. Probably same category as Remington Golden Bullet/Bucket O' Bullets/etc.

That being said, Remington Golden works in my semis.

Just buy it and try it. Is there a ration limit on ammo or something?

Th m-22 seems OK for cheap ammo. Decent accuracy. I was hitting a 10L drum offhand at about 100m consistently. Did have 2 failures to extract from roughly 200 rounds I fired but no misfires. That may have been to do with the old gun I was using though. Overall not a bad round but I probably wouldnt use them on anything with a heartbeat.

You you guys get Aguilla? It smells terrible but works very well in finicky firearms in my experience.

Video time :) This is Aguilla Super Extra using American 180 mags and Bazooka Brothers M16 adapter

I just buy Highland subsonics, by the box, they are around 7 odd bucks from emeory. Id say by the brick it would be a crapload cheaper.

I love CCI standard, it is silent through suppressor. Pretty sick on auto, especially for the kids! Sorry :(

you guys know we pay about 15-30% what you pay for ammo, but we are paying 5 to 12 cents a round for .22 now. After having a couple ammo shortages over the past 10 years and wild price spikes, people have turned to .22. Plus now every semi-auto in the world has 5 different brands of .22 clones, from the AR-15 to the STG-44 (MP-43 etc). And all the full autos have .22 conversions now if they didn't before. People are running through .22 in the US so fast the prices have jumped about 500%.

It's pretty sad when a round of .22 costs about half as much as a round of 9mm :(

American's have all the cool toys, but no ammo. Aussies have ammo, but no cool toys. Ammo prices suck everywhere. .22 ammo varies in quality, shoot lots to find which works for you. /thread
