[Guest]

i want to know if you can shoot these federal automatch in a single load gun?

If you are talking about federal fmj match, then they should be fine in any single load pistol. The 'automatch' as I understand it simply means the bullet is seated enough so they function well in a semi auto handgun. It doesn't mean they are for a semi auto only. Which single load gun are you talking about? Is the automatch the .45 185 fmj?

I believe that Federal Automatch is a .22lr round. My understanding is that it's a higher velocity round designed to cycle a semiauto. Federal's website claims 1200fps, sold in 325 round bulk packs. 325 rounds? What is that? 13 packs of 25? Code is AM22.

Can you use this in a single load? Sure, if you can safely shoot high velocity ammo through it. Still a 40gr bullet, only at 1200fps.

should the question be can you, or why would you?

I want to use it because it is very consistent and accurate ammo at a reasonable price. I does have enough power to reliably run a blow back action but the ignition and power are also very consistent shot to shot.
