Just shot this ammo yesterday. It cycled really well in my 10 22, but I'm also using the volquartsen extractors. They were very accurate shot a 2 inch group of the bench at 100yds. I cant wait to try these out on some varmints
I've been looking for a couple different rounds to test in my savage mkII, and I was very disappointed. shot a 4inch group at 50 yards. the cheap bulk federal ammo will give me under 2" at 100 yards. Doesn't matter how powerful your round is if you can't hit anything. Will not be wasting my money on this stuff again.
I've used this ammo in several firearms: a piece-of-junk Jennings J-22, a Ruger Mark IV with a bull barrel, and a Marlin 60 semi-auto rifle with the micro-grooved barrel. In all cases, the rounds fed well, with only a couple of malfunctions, usually bad extractions. I've never had a soft strike or misfire -- maybe I'm just lucky.
I got this ammo originally for the Jennings, a gun I got for free for doing some website maintenance for a local gunshop. My pay, essentially, was the cost of the background check and transfer fees; a Jennings is pretty much worthless, a chunk of zinc with a steel barrel pressed into it. Lower-powered rounds worked indifferently, sometimes failing to cycle the lousy action of the weapon. Someone suggested Stingers, but the extra oomph of a Stinger is paid for with a slightly longer case, which can cause very bad extraction problems when the chamber is of very close length tolerance. This weapon didn't have a deep enough chamber, and a Stinger case would constantly get stuck. But a Super-Max would feed perfectly. In addition, any other round hitting a paper target at a distance of 10-15 yards would leave a tiny, rather torn hole. The super-max would leave a cleanly PUNCHED hole that looked as if it had been made by a .38spl. The Mark IV fired it cleanly and with good groups, as good as I could make them at least. Finally, they fired from the Marlin 60 with blazing speed, and good accuracy to at least reasonable varmint or small game range. Beyond 50-60 yards, you'll want a heavier round, as the 30-grain starts to get a bit frisky and lose accuracy.
I've not noticed that it's particularly "gummy" or "dirty". I use Militec-1 on all of my weapons, and they clean up pretty easily as a result.
I have been trying different ammo in my cz 452 bolt action. I was very disappointed with the aguila super max hyper velocity 30gr. The first round failed to fire and the forth round got stuck in the breach. I have tried about 20 different types of ammo, and this aguila was the first ammo to have either of these problems in my cz. Very unhappy, especially considering the price.
At 100m my 5 shot group was 4.84", while other ammo that day grouped about 2" or slightly better.
