So I stopped by my local gun store yesterday to check out prices on ammo. Being new to .22lr, found a box of 325 Federal and picked it up immediately. Now that I'm reading it, it says ideal for Semi-Auto. Is it ok to use this ammo out of a bolt action? It'll be used in my son's Savage Mark II.

Yeah its good to use...I think they just mean its ammo that will cycle semi autos -
That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure. Thank you!Comment

23.99 like I said I'm new to .22lr so not sure if that's bad or good. Last time I bought a box of Winchester 555 value box for 30 flat from the same shop.Comment

When they have it in stock it is 16.97 at the local Walmart. It's been a couple months since they had any.Comment

The nice thing about bolt actions is that you can use almost any ammo. If it says 22LR you're good to go.Comment

It is fine to use. The reason they made the Auto-Match brand is that most match level ammo in .22LR was subsonic and would not cycle reliably in semi-auto pistols or rifles.
So auto-match was introduced to fit the niche for competition level quality that would work.
Be a little more careful though, the bullet diameter on my auto-match bullets seemed slightly thicker than bulk stuff. After shooting a good while with a dirty 10/22 I had several rounds FTF in the chamber and one actually went off as it was being loaded. Other than that though the stuff was really nice shooting.Comment

If you get a chance try to score some sub-sonic ammo such as CCI std vel.
It will be more accurate out of a bolt action rifle.Comment
