I follow Michael's advice as far as ammo goes...When I see a good price, I buy in bulk. The Aguila Super Extra Copper solids are the most consistently reliable and 22lr I've found other than CCI mini mags and at the time Midway had the Aguila on sale for $9 less per brick than the CCI so it was a no brainer. I've been getting backorder batches of the Aguila as it has become available for many months, and all at the sale price
I've shot half inch groups with it at 50 yards with some rifles, and fired 1200 rounds without a malfunction of any kind in My Spikes upper. Its great stuff, I just hope the Smith likes it
I should get to the range this weekend to give it a try...
