[QUOTE="rebelracer79, post: 1666337, member: 69"] I just got a .22 in a trade and decided I would try and test it out so I got a target and my old plastic box of mixed .22(bulk federal mixed with bulk remington) I started shooting at about 35 yds, rifle was shooting about 6" high, so I lowered to rear sight all the way and it was still high, I shot 2 tubes of ammo to figure this out, 30 rounds, I had 2 duds, one remy and one fed. , the more I shot the more duds I had, at least one every 15 rounds. I decided to back up to around 80 yds and this ammo was hitting 6" low, yea a foot of drop from 35-80 yds. Most importantly to me the rifle only jammed once in about 150 rnds, Thats perfecly fine with me as I have had .22s in the past that jammed every other shot. but also with this ammo when I was shooting at 80 yds, you could hear the difference in the rounds, some not as loud as others, I was kinda worried about a squib, but I always heard them hit the backstop. My theory, my big box of .22 is far from airtight, and has been stored in a non climate controlled metal building, probly 2-3 years old, anyone else had the same type of expirence? [/QUOTE]
