just bought a AMT AutoMag 22 magnum. made in Irwindale
went out and tried 3 different brands of ammo
Winchester super x HP, federal 22 mag, & CCI.

Win. awsome,hot , hot, hot[8][;)]worked and ejected every time,thumbs up[^]^^^^^
federal fed and worked ok, but no power like the Win.[V]no jambs[:)]
CCI SUXED[xx(]could not get it to fire,firing pin would not even strike the rim.WTH[:0]
for those of you with a automag II stick with Winchester ammo,
& a clean gun and do not run it dry a little gun oil on the rails
will do it good (Remington)RemOil spray.

    I have one I picked up last year. I have shot Win and CCI with no problems. Your right, the Win ammo was hot. I was shooting at dusk and noticed about 10" muzzle flash.

    I had one and the only ammo it wouldn't shoot was the Winchester Dynapoint. I had several boxes of it and it was very underpowered. Maybe I had a bad batch.

    I thought RemOil was taboo and that the only reason it exists is because Remington recommends it in their owners manuals. Heck, I nearly got thrown out of a gun store for asking for some... And it was right there on the shelf. Doesn't it leave Teflon buildup all over the place?

    I have good luck with several brands.
    Winchester works well, ( not dynapoint!!)
    Federal,
    Fiocchi,
    Even some PMC bulk stuff I bought works well in my Automag.
    What it likes best though is Remington, ( I think it is Supreme? )
    Mine HATES CCI!

    keep the chamber brushed/blown out so the tiny gas ports are clear...they are designed to keep the right level of blowback...
