The 710 and 810 use to be one of my favorite ammo along with the 40 gr mini. That was before I went "European". It shot fairly accurate for me at 50 and 75 yards 3-4 years ago. Since then, it hasn't performed that well for me. Maybe just a not so good batch, but if I remember correctly I tried several batches with the same results. Probably have 10-15 bricks left of it so I'm sure I'll be shooting it again.
Yes, I would jump all over this a few years ago. But I've climbed down off the Federal horse quite a while ago on 22lr. The Fed Target orange box was terrible in my CZ's and the Match HV wasn't great in my 10/22's either. My 22's just don't like Federal. Yes, they always go bang, but so does everything else in my firearms. The difference is in the accuracy. I did buy 13 boxes of the UM22 from Woodbury to try out since they were at a decent price. But for the most part, I don't do Federal in 22lr. Same as Winchester which really bleep in all my 22lr firearms.
