i found a nice $10 on there that almost looks like the one on there now... but theirs didnt have the adjustable magnification on it...

thought so but like i said i just wanted to make sure... just curious then what ur issues were with the federals?? cuz ive always gotten bricks of federals for $11 (but ive heard theyre 13 now since i aint bought in awhile) but they never gave me any problems...

its cool.. just figured id ask... ive had a jamming issue with my rifle but i aint gonna say its from the shells... with it its more the ejector spring being weak... i want to do a spring job on it but just dont have the $$ to do it.. and since i aint been to the range in awhile its not on a high priority list either... other reason im not gonna say its the shells for me is cuz i have another 22 thats a pistol i use the same brand in and it doesnt give me any problems... so i just figure its old weak springs in the rifle...

ive always gotten federals cuz they were cheap.. cci's were several bucks more than the federals were at the time...

also ive never measured the velocities of the ammo... so i wouldnt know what the effects would be from faster and slower differences... other than sometimes it can effect penetration.. but since i just use em for target practice i dont see it really hindering me...

speaking of reloading... i remember i took one of the boxes down to the range i had done... id made 7 duds on purpose for dry fires when i wanted to practice trigger pulls and not have the pins get damaged.. meant to keep them separate.. but some how the got mixed in with the live ones... found all 7 that day... but didnt notice them when id loaded the mags... found them when it didnt go "boom"..
