I'm glad you did this. You need to shoot through the chrono and into the jelly every time. JK I have somewhere between 3.5K and 5k of these Automatch. Not because I felt they were so good at the time it's just because they were available at the time. In shooting them I found that my target 10/22 just loves them. I was talking about them one day and a guy asked if I was referring to the Eley Match and when I told him the Federal Automatch bulk pack he kind of laughed. I told him not to laugh too hard since he didn't see what I was doing with them on paper. As your test shows though, the bulk pack can produce a squib every so often. I would have like to of seen the SD from the Chrono and the average form the 64 rounds. As always thanks for the video!!

@Tools&Targets I’m obliged to ya for doing this test. And this Texas boy can get kinda persnickety about things like chronographic measurements, so I took the time to go through your video and count each reading, and then crunch the numbers. I tried to cut and paste into this comment field, evidently KZitem doesn't like it when you do that. So I can email you the data if you're interested. And BTW, after viewing this, I went to my local Wally World, and they had this very AutoMatch on the shelf. The sticker price was $21.16 for a box of 325 rounds, or 6.5 c per round, which sadly is not a bad price for bulk ammo these days. Walmart had their 3-box limit, so I got three boxes. I’ve yet to find the Punch locally.

Accuracy was good for bulk ammo, depending on the rifle we are talking 3/4 to 2 1/2 in groups at 100 meters.

Penetration formula it seems to be Weight of the bullet ( grains ) / 7000 / caliber x caliber x100 The number you have is penetration at 1000 fps So a .22 cal 40 grain bullet at 950 fps can penetrate deeper then a 29 grain one at 1200 fps if both bullets penetrate straight without thumbling Se have 40/7000/.223x.223 = 11.5 inches at 1000 fps and 11 inches at 950 fps For the 29 grain : 29/7000/.223x.223 = 10 inches at 1200 fps. Maybe this explain all

@WalnutandSteel - 2 things: 1) I was very disappointed in the inconsistency of this newer ammo. I have the older style box from 5 years ago and saw only 18fps between the fastest & slowest, but that was from only 10 rounds tested through the RCBS guys chrono. 2) - Your KZitem handle, "Walnut and Steel" is absolutely one of the bitchinest I've seen! 👍👍👍

According to the info on their website, the gel stays calibrated indefinitely. Of course anyone can claim anything, but I have no reason to not believe it.🤷♂

I think he showed the auto-match fairly and I agree with him on the hot round in the last test. would've been good to see him put a punch into the gel just to show condition and the gel block had no effect, but I think we have seen enough punch test in both new and used gel that we can assume the punch would do it's normal 18-inch average.

As a control we needed a punch shot into that same block of jelly. Just to make sure that the jelly wasn't a little denser this time. I know that the density was probably the same as before but just as a control and to be a true comparison to the punch. Just some food for thought, and maybe an excuse for another video? Thanks for videos, and as a side note, good reliability test for the tx22 I love mine

Well now this is a interesting video and I always like 22LR ammo comparison. As far as I'm considered, Federal Auto match is much better than the punch because of the price and I go for whatever is available and cheap. My local Walmart store is full of the federal auto match for about 21 bucks and it works in all of my 22LR pistols and rifles.

Thank You Sir! I think automatch is good for 100 to 150yd and closer. I was plinking at 200 yd and noticed several splashing near 175 yd. I like cci minimags. 👍🇺🇸 #22aday

Man, I recently set up a 200 yd. target (3-inch dot on a 15w x 22h board), and I'm using match/standard-velocity rounds (factory specs 1070-1090 fps). With a 100 yd zero, I have to aim around FORTY INCHES HIGH @ 200! What REALLY blew my mind was, the shooting position had to be 12-13 yards further back for the 200 yd. target. But I want to pop the 100-yarder before switching directly to 200 just to MAKE SURE everything is up to snuff first, so I'm shooting the 100 yd. target from 112 yds. in those cases. But I started hitting nearly 2-1/2" LOW on my 100 yd. target on my first attempt (but remember, from 112 yds.) I'm thinking, WHAT THE HELL just happened? Thought I had everything dialed in (haven't had to adjust even ONE CLICK... and the clicks are 1/8 MOA... since I did my 100 yd. zero @ 40 yds. MONTHS AGO), and now THIS! At first, I cranked the scope up, but then thought later that I'd better double-check ballistics. YEP. The DROP between 100 and 112 yards is SUPPOSED to be almost 2-1/2"... BLEW MY MIND! I guess it makes sense, though, when you consider you have to hit around 20" high @ 100 for a 200 yd. zero, and thus, aim FORTY inches high @ 200 : )

@@lordofthewoods it I'ds good that you are checking the drop and adjusting the scope for the longer shots. I have been using my new Primary Arms 6x scope with ACSS reticle. I sight it in at 100yd and hold over for the maximum 200yd. It is interesting how the drop 2 1/2" over 15 yd. Thanks

Just picked up one box of the auto match for 21.19. I wasn’t sure if it would fire so I did a search and found your video. I will be going back for more while they still have it. I just got my TX 22, it does not like cascade 22lr. The box says 1250 FPS, but it won’t cycle the gun. It will shot the round and eject it, but it locks back as if it’s out of rounds even with rounds still in the magazine. Shot some blazer 38grn and it ran pretty good one lock in two magazines. CCI mini mag no issues. I’ll try this federal this weekend, hopefully it runs good for me like it does for you. I’ll post if it doesn’t. Thank you

Cheapest ammo I can get here is the Armscor .22lr that cost 5$ to 6$ a box (50rd).

It's not a bad round for the money.. I train with my wife and 13yr old son with these rounds and have for years and they have the same tool and a glock 44.. we have shot thousands of rounds and have had several under powered rounds but not like bucket O bullets or others.. but out of that tool they hit pretty on par with cci mini mags and just a little low with punch or stingers.. thanks for the video .. take care and God bless.. I love these rounds for training and I have squirrel hunted with a 10/22 many times they never let me down .. I have seriously witnessed 10-15 thousand rounds of this ammo shot..
