aguila makes the best 22 rounds ive ever shot. normally with rim fire rounds you get a lot of miss fires in a box, but ive never had a single aguila round not fire. they also use ely match grade primer in there rounds. on top of that they are the fasted 22 round on the market. little things are twice as loud as any 22 round ive ever shot or heard and they are more accurate and consistent then any other round ive shot also.

The ones my dad bought back in the 70's still work for me,  I think I have a few thousand through it now with no problems

They all like different ammo. Mine likes CCI Mini Mags and Aguila Super and Hyper.

I have shot just about everything in .22 long that has been sold on the shelf.  The Remington 525 box count seem to be the crappiest ammo that I have shot through it with frequent duds, but I still have some left.  Probably ran 11 to 12 thousand rounds through one of my 10/22's.

I've shot just about everything through mine.   As stated its usually the aftermarket mags that will give you trouble and they do seem to do it more with the all lead stuff like the Remmington Thunderbolts or whatever.

I just included my oldest 10/22 in a trade. I've had that thing for many years and had every bit of 25,000+ rounds through it. I don't recall ever shooting anything but the bulk Winchester, Federal, and Remington stuff through it and it did plenty well with all of it and it was more than accurate enough for the sage rats, grouse, pop cans, and jack fir limbs I used it for. I never saw the need to shoot anything "better" i.e. more expensive, through the .22. I save the premium ammo for the bigger stuff.

I wouldnt keep any .22 that wont work reliably with the bulk 525 rd boxes of federal! That is my ammo of choice because its the cheapest most of the time, and it works much better than some of the crappy remington bulk ammo. My 10/22 runs perfectly on federal bulk, and so do all my other .22s.

I run the federal's and they have been great

I agree, I've shot thousands of rounds too and had the most duds with the cheap Remington ammo. Federal is cheap too, but it seems like there are fewer duds so I shoot a lot of Federal.

To avoid getting duds you need to spend more and get the better quality ammo and then there are very few duds.

I just tried the bulk Federal in the red box this weekend. Great ammo. I was really surprised how clean they were. Didn't have a single misfire in the box.
