I bought some of this the other day and figured I'd give it a try. After finishing up with my 10/22 yesterday I was too lazy to walk the 100 yards and move my target so I loaded a few mags for my P226 with this federal ammo.
When I finished my second magazine a guy that was watching me came over and asked if I was shooting reloads. I told him no, just this cheap stuff and showed him what I had. When I asked him why he walked me down range and pointed out where all my shots went. The worst was about thirty yards in front of me in the ground and they walked in from there with a few all around the target. There was also on about fifty yards and and into the berm 10' to my right. So out of 30 shots fired i managed only one hit at 100 yrds on an IDPA size target.
He said he watched everything I did and was pretty sure its wasn't me. So I then loaded up some WWB and fired 30 rounds again at 100 yrds and all 30 were on target.
From what I've googled people say aluminum cased works fine. I can't find anything about Sigs not liking it either, so did I just get a bad box? Anyone else have an experience like this with aluminum cased ammo?
