I just found this forum and hope I can get some help here. I am not a bench rest shooter and don't really aspire to be one, I don't have the patients . My sons are on a high school air rifle team shooting 3-P and are moderately successful. This team use to shoot .22 rimfire but changed over to air rifle many years ago so they had surplus target rifles for sale and I bought several , A few Rem. 540 XRT's , a Savage-Anschutz and a Walther. I was also able to buy two bricks of ammunition marked " Federal Target, .22 Long Rifle Standard Velovity, 40 Grain Solid" The only number I could find was 714. I was told that if we used only the lower velocity rounds these guns would last a very long time, maybe not competively accurate but very accurate for the type of shooting we do at home. I have looked at the Federal web site and don't find this ammo listed. What is comparable to what I have on hand and should I stick to this type ammo or would the cheap bulk packs be ok and not harm these barrels? Thanks for any help
