gftiv Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 I use federal as recommended by Val. If you use other ammo, check to see if it drops all the way into the chamber freely. If not, do not use it. Why? Because the gun fires from an open bolt and the firing pin on the bolt can set off the not completely chambered round. 22 brass sprays out and the bullet goes down the barrel halfway. next round bulges the barrel. you will not be able to do anything because the gun is too fast to stop. Winchester ammo does not always chamber properly. causes problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federal .22lr ammo with round nose plated bullets. You remember, the Wally World bulk pack Federal stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bayouboy Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 The CcI mini mags I just received were wax coated…it cracked off as I pushed them out of the plasric 100 round holders. Didn’t seem to affect them running in the 275 round lexan drum….?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bayouboy Posted October 19 Report Share Posted October 19 On bullet shape, Val informed that the AM180 wasn't sensitive to bullet shape so much as to ammo consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECIII Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 Mine runs like a top on aguilla extra. Cheap loads nice with the loader and never had an issue. The propellant does have an odd smell to it though not bad just diffrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
