whistlepig Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Adding the word "tactical" will drive sales through the roof............................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've seen it in Cabela's. Not only is it named "Tactical", it's in a black box too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus DUX Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I need a box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My friend thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread until I told him about Federal AutoMatch. Half the price and tighter groups. He gave me a box to try out and all I got were jams. I gave him a box of Fed AutoMatch, not one jam out out the entire box. But they will sell alot because it says it's Tactical, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0n Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 From what I understand, the AR Tactical ammo is designed with a longer nose to aid in feeding in AR-type rifles. Personally my 15-22 feeds Federal Bulk so I never bothered, but if I had feeding problems I'd give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jollymon32 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This I not new. Been around for a while now, although Cabellas had the exclusive for a while. You can read in depth reviews on the S&W 15/22 forum and on THR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjb45 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 It was more reliable in my TS pistol conversion that Federal. About the same as CCI mini-mags for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Actually, I should clarify my previous post. We run a .22 match once a month. Both rifle and pistol. I put about 400 rounds through my TS pistol without cleaning before the match. During the match I started getting FTF. I did a quick and dirty cleaning job, which helped. A friend loaned me a box of Tactical. The gun ran like a champ. In my AR upper, which was cleaned prior to the match, worked with Federal, CCI, and the Tactical stuff. My take-away was a dirty gun is a prescription for failure. The tactical ammo did increase the reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
