Default Re: Bought a brick of American Eagle 22LRs...

Ditto try them first. They haven't been any worse or any better then all my other types of ammo. My .357 and 45 ACP like them and they are good enough in my 44 mag that I have used them for deer hunting. I prefer JSP for hunting bullets and these were JHP but they worked.

On a good day with nice light and no wind using the 38 gr hp American Eagle I shot a 1.6" 5 shot group out of my 10/22 rifle with the Green mountain match bull barrel rifle at 100 yards. Only my Win T22 and Win super X 40 gr solid bullets did better that day.
