How far are you shooting with the CCI Std. Velocity? I hear they start to keyhole beyond 75 yds

Guys over on Snipers Hide are shooting them to at least 100 - 200 yards.

Got one of these myself the other day. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet and I'm itching to do so. Everyone that I've spoken to about it loves this rifle. On a different note, any ideas where I can find some "reasonably" priced magazines?
Check midwayusa.com. They get them in stock sometimes. I've bought several from them in the past month or so.

I have a moss 715t and its a blast to shoot. I cleaned it before firing it for the first time and i had no problems. All of your toys should be cleaned before shooting it. Just my opinion.

No joy there for the past few weeks. Got a notification just yesterday but by the time I tried to purchase they were already gone only after a few minutes.
No issues at 75 or 100...haven't gone past 100 yds yet
Depends what you consider reasonable.... they run 20 bucks (+shipping) brand new on the S&W site but they are NEVER in stock (I'm referring to the md compliant 10rd long). I found a private seller selling for 30, which to me was reasonable considering shipping cost I wouldn't pay on ftf sale, and limited availability.
Cabellas has 3 packs of 25 round mags for $60, you just need to ship and pick them up out of state
Yep still available
I picked up my 15-22 yesterday, but won't have any time to get to the range to check it out until next week at the earliest. bad thing is I am getting down to a mishmash of assorted 22's, hate to shoot them all up until I can restock, and who knows when that might be.

Natchez still has some .22 a few minutes ago. You missed Mini Mags and Standard Velocity

Earlier I had reported that my 15-22 was running like a top.
NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE.
After 4 mags of Federal ammo, I had 7 or 8 stovepipes.
I have no idea what is up with this rifle. When it was new it ran like a top. Now its a POS.
I ran the same ammo through my brand new Ruger 10-22 with no issue. Something is up here......
It was clean and very lightly oiled per suggestions. I am beginning to wonder if I have a lemon.
I guess first put some other type of ammo through to see if it behaves. Its getting on my nerves.

My 15-22 never did like federal ammo. At least 1 ftf per mag. Runs great on CCI and M-22 Winchester. If your looking for mags, Big Dogs gets them once in a while.

Know what you mean. Although mine never worked off the bat. Sent it to S&W worked great for the first range trip but then on second range trip not so much. Called S&W before Memorial Day and they said they would email me a prepaid postage. Never got it. Called them again last week they said they would email it again and guess what never got it again. Have to try them again tomorrow. Frustrating.
