Too much weight for the powder charge limits, lousy for anything other than coked up squirrels within 50 ft. One box is 40 rnds too much for me.

I tried them and was not impressed. Accuracy only so-so (although better than any "normal" .22 ammo) out of a 1:9 barrel, and these things cost me $4.75 a box of 50.
Plus which, they stink. Literally! They smell like a carnival food stand on fire. Save your money for a dedicated .22 upper, or AT LEAST a 1:12 barreled upper to use with your conversion. Winchester Dynapoints shoot okay out of those. |

They sucked in my marlin .22, as well as a friend's 10/22.
neither were 1:9 twist though. |

I got blast out of the ejection port and accuracy was worse than any of the "normal" .22LR rounds in my 20" 1/9 twist.

Thanks for the good feedback from all. I won't go down that road at all then.
Thanks, Shane |

Well, if you already HAD a conversion unit and a 1:9 AR, I'd say it would be worth trying a box--I did and I'm glad I tried so now I know. But I would NOT say that it is worth building up a whole project of any kind around this ammo. |

When you use it out of a barrel with the proper twist(1/9.5) and not to mention bore size than it works nice.
I'v enot noticed a loss in accurecy really with regular .22 rounds either yet. But I don't get a chance to shoot the gun thats set up for the stuff all that often cuz it ain't mine(and it's a 10/22 not an AR). |

Tried them in my DPMS AR, got one mag through before they would bend trying to load when the bolt would close. I do have run them in my P22 and my 22 Savage which run fine. Another note
These things STICK. wolf |

For use in a Ruger M77/22 with the proper barrel they are dead nuts accurate. Tons of power and penetration.
Proper use is for police and head shots. I have found them usefull for groundhogs around urban houses. Only .22 so far that I have seen kill them without a head shot. You MUST have the proper barrel trist to get any accuracy out of them. |
