Reliable but not very accurate
Review by GearHeadTony -
I bought this because the Federal website recommended this for autoloaders (I have a CMMG upper for my AR-15). With only one failure to fire, this stuff is very reliable but doesn't shoot very straight. I had better accuracy using Federal 36 grain hollow points which also cycled just fine. Good for plinking but not so good if dinner is on the line. (Posted on 5/9/12)Reliable? Ammo Performance Bargain?

Q: What's the intended use for this compared to Federal 36gr CPHP?
The listed velocities appear very close, as does the price.

A: Relaxed target shooting, plinking, hunting small game, and pretty much anything else you would do with a .22 rifle. Both these loads are a great value.
Q: Does this bullet have a wax coating, hard to tell from the photo?
Posted On: 10/20/11 By: David
A: No, this Federal Champion ammo does not have a wax coating.
Q: These are listed as "high velocity" what is their listed velocity?
Are these the equivalent to the Federals that Marlin recommends for their autoloaders?
Posted On: 9/28/11 By: Brian
A: The velocity of this Federal Champion ammo is 1240fps and should offer comparable function in self-loading rifles to other high-velocity 22LR ammo.
