Is the Federal Auto Match boxed in 325 round bulk packs any good in semi auto pistols/10-22s/AR15-22s??

Ive been shooting it out of my Savage Model 64 and get about 1 FTF every 100 or so rounds. My girl has her own of the same and it never misses a beat.

My Browning BuckMark and S&W 617 6" love it.

I ran a box though my AR with a CMMG kit in it.  No misfeeds, no misfires.

Does not shoot very well out of my 22/45 Lite.  My favorite bulk ammo is CCI Blazer

It's very good for bulk ammo.  My 10/22's and MkIII shoot it fine with very few duds.

I've had pretty good luck with it. Much better than Winchester bulk thats for sure

The word match is just a marketing gimmick it is typical lowest denominator plinking ammo.fine for tin cans and steel plinking and some guns may run well with it.
For my money I would rather buy quality non bulk pack ammo. A good base line is cci standard velocity - works most guns well and will be far more accurate in most guns than any cheap bulk pack

My handguns shoot it great also

Bought some.

Works perfectly in my S&W AR15-22LR.  10 shots an inch at 25 yatds.  All the better the plastic AR shoots.  So good there. (Note it has the standard velocity blue operating and blue hammer springs in it.)

Will not reliably blow the slide back on my Glock Advantage Arms slide.  Not good there. (After blowing some of the oil off the internals, it did run 50 straight rounds coreectly.  The AA I shoot wet so the slide doesn't wear.)

Perfect in Ruger SR22P.

With Dick's $18.74/325, its good enough in the rifle to plink.

I have had only a couple FTF in the couple thousand I have fired. All of my .22s love it

This.

It's not match ammo. It's not as good as cci sv.

But it can be found for cheap and runs pretty well in my 22/45. A dud or a light load happens every now and then.
