Went by the LGS today and they had Magetch Standard Velocity .22 at $3.49 for a box of 50. Bought 3 boxes to try them out. Nowhere on the box does it tell the velocity and I haven't had much luck searching the net. One source says 1280...I don't think that is SV!

Anyone have any experience with Magtech .22LR SV?

Michael,
I tried to buy some at the last guns show, the guy wouldn't well me any without buying a $200 Marlin black gun, then I would get a brick free.
As I have no use for a nasty looking cheap 22 I did not get any. Did talk with him about velocity and the remark was it would be 1180fps, don't know how reliable that is.

We finally had some good weather and I wanted to sight in my 10-22 - so I took the opportunity to test the Magtech ammo.
My 10-22 has a bull barrel and all the other goodies that make 'em shoot good.
I have a lot of Winchester M-22 ammo and thought I'd use it to sight n the scope, then change to the Magtech to see how well it grouped.
I'd taken the 1-4 scope off my 10-22 to use on my 25-20 while developing a silhouette load and needed to re-sight it. The M-22s were awful! At 25 yards I couldn't find the paper! After 30 rounds I found the point of impact was about 2 foot low and all over the paper (not the 10-22's normal behavior).
I gave up on the Winchester and tried the Magtech. I aimed at a point 24" above the target and hit where I was aiming!
After a little scope adjustments I was on target and getting very pleasing results - see attached photo of 10 shots at 50 yards in a small group.
I was so pleased with the results of the Magtech ammo I stopped by the LGS on the say home from the range...yea, there were sold out.
I'll buy more when they get some.
