I remember when I was a kid, my dad got a can of that junk.
Still have most of it in the basement.

The only Rem I will shoot is made by Ely...... The rest is total junk.

I have to agree with everyone else, all the Remington .22 ammo I have used was terrible.

Yup !! I used the last of mine about a year ago, and until Remington can show a real change in quality, improve it, and sustain it for a period of time, I've bought my last Rem. Ammo. Even the worst of the other cheap stuff is better.

The last 50rds of Thunderbolts was given to me when I bought my new MK-III. I was surprised that all 50 fired. Accuracy was a joke, but they did go bang. I doubt that I could have hit a squirrel at 10 feet.

I'll take $50 (+ expenses) to haul it away and dispose of it, Haka.

That's a good one BFD, LM_O ! I do agree with you though, the stuff is pure junk.

BFD, if you take 50 to get rid of it you will earn every cent of it.
Hak, it may not be pure junk, but it is DAMN close for sure/

I've had two bulk packs of the Golden Bullets, and they actually did okay in all my guns, maybe a few extra FTFs. But the gold finish leaves a sparkly mess all over your gun and hands. So then it gets in your cases and on your clothes. I've bought no more since.

FYI,
I keep my 22 ammo in a plastic baggie when I go to the range, with a couple
utensils in there as well for convenience. I took the utensils out, at the range
and gave the remaining Rem TB's (200rds) to the range officer.
I beat BFD's deal by a country mile. I actually got rid of it for free

These Federal Champions shot flawless at the range today, both in my Beretta Bobcat (finicky), and my Ruger Mk lll. I would recommend these to anyone wanting good bulk ammo.

Federal's were consistant, no duds, no weaklings, cycle every time.
Another thumbs up !

Glad to hear that the Remmies went to a new home at no added extra cot to you. As far as fun shooting play ammo I prefer the CCI Blazer or actually as they are labeled just "BLAZER". Have been able to get them for less than most of the bulk stuff with no shipping or no trip to Wally World to irritate me. Recently bought the last 3 Blazer my LGS had for $16.50 plus 6% MI tax. He got more in but they ran closer to 20 bucks, but still less than the bulk stuff. Buy as much as I can from my LGS as he has a marked price plus a BAOM price which is better yet.
