ETA: I hope to God that this ad gets pulled very soon, so I copied the pics of the "ammo" and hosted them on PB for all of you to enjoy.
Looks legit to me.
Here's the text in the ad: 'The choice that turned lead into Silver & Gold' One complete brick of Federal Gold Medal UltraMatch UM1B; one box has been opened, but no rounds are missing. Dimpled case, 40gr solid bullet, 1080fps. Lot Number 2070. I have had it a while, but don't have a .22 worthy of this ammo. Federal hasn't made it since the early 2000s; it devolved into the 711B, but didn't maintain the QC standards of the UM1B after around 2003. Email is sketchy lately, but I'll be in touch within 24 hours if you have any questions. Price is shipped, east of the Mississippi. If you are west of Big Muddy, email me and we'll work out the shipping costs.

It's always funny to watch the know it alls hacking on something they don't know anything about. I know right.. 200 for the box.. eh tempting.. ok to give the noobs an idea.. in my custom MKII off a rest at 25 yards indoor it will group on avg a .244 size 10 shot group. All the time. that ammo is wicked fine. |

the dimple is to get a uniform spread of priming compound on the rim of the case. Eley used it too for a while.. This, shock sensitive priming mix needs to get into the rim to get crushed by the pin. The dimple was there so that priming mix got a better distribution to where it would be effective and consistent. I wish federal still made a target quality .22 rf ammo. That stuff was the shit. They dropped it as it wasn't profitable. IIRC we one a few medals with that stuff in the olympics. ETA1 - rjbergen, the pic makes it kind of look like cf ammo. It's not, just a dimple in the middle of the case head that resembles a cf primer at a glance. ETA2 - I remember when we had a lots of that stuff on the shelf at the gunshop where I worked when i was in college. Not for nothing but I probably wouldn't trust old old rimfire ammo to still be match quality in shooting. CMP sold some eley match where the wax melted off the bullets and pooled in the bottom of the box. Reports of it shooting worse than thunderbolts were abundant. The lube is a very key component in match ammo. Good storage is paramount. |
