Try CCI standard velocity

+1 on the CCI standard velocty
the federal auto looked like a 12ga at 50yds

My 597 hates them. They shoot like a sawed off shotgun.

Federal auto match is higher velocity than “typical” match ammo which run about 1050 to 1080 FPS. AutoMatch is listed at 1200fps.
It was too hot for my Marvel bullseye gun as it’s sprung but it shot pretty good.
It’s common for rimfire guns to show a preference for some brands of ammo. the cost of AutoMatch makes it worth trying.
its not as clean as CCI standard velocity.

It is better than Remington and Winchester and few other bottom shelf ammo. It is not hardly as accurate at 50 yards as Midas+ and RWS r-50 or Eley Match or even Wolf.

I use it in my Henry Frontier for fun and that John Wayne feeling.

I tried it this morning and was pleasantly surprised, it shot great with no problems and nickel size groups at 50 yds.

[Fotheringill]

A nickel has a pretty big diameter and equates to more than 1.5 MOA.

Great for squirrels or plinking, not so good for target shooting.

The Federal Auto Match ammo from a few years back shot well in my rifles, but current production is iffy in accuracy and reliability. The old stuff fed reliably in my Walther P22, but the new stuff causes a lot of jams.
