I bought TAC 22's at Cabelas a few years ago. Don't normally buy them but a 50%off, their mine. No idea what was going to do with them but price counts. Later bought a Tikka T1X. Really happy now. Tikka loves them. Getting 5 shot groups@50 yds under 1/2 in and smaller GW
Well, I found a carton of TAC 22s at a reasonable price and bought it. I am VERY please with the performance of this ammunition thus far. Although I have only shot 200 rounds through my Supermatic, it has run flawlessly and shoots every bit as accurately as my old T-22. I plan on shooting the entire carton and if it continues to perform as well as the first 200, I will be laying in a supply to last a while.
In regard to the greasy bullets getting one's fingers all messy, I agree and would probably not want this ammunition for "field" use because of it's likely tendency to attract dirt and such, but since this is not a field gun I'm totally OK with the grease. Like someone posted, that's what paper towels and blue jeans are made for. As far as I'm concerned it is no worse than a juicy hamburger with all the fixins and greasy french fries. It's all part of the package. If it works, that's pretty much all that matters.
Tried out tac-22's in my Henry H001T yesterday. They group as well as my usual Thunderjams and Aguila Super Extra, but POI is seriously 2.5" low. Yeah, don't think I'll be buying more of these. They are pretty close to other ammo in my handguns so I'll use them there.
Shot it in my Walther PPQ today. It would not cycle the slide consistently. Shoots fine in other non-auto guns for me.
