1858:
Just curious whether you or a family member are employed by Remington.

As for the gas blowbacks on almost every other rd. in my old Savage, it might be a function of that specific rifle.
If the new product avoids this, as is the situation with both Federal and Win., I would be more willing to help support the people not too far from here, in and near Lonoke AR.

Thanks jcwit.
I have been using SV in my M41 and 452s and it isn't bulked apparently.
But the tactical should be gtg for my buckmark, sp101, Henry and P22.
I have never seen that in my local stores.
I will order some today.

Biolerup, that is what I have been buying but not from Dick's as I don't have one local.
But CTD has it for the same and if I order a bunch, shipping isn't too bad.
 
I always just bought whatever bulk 22 was cheapest. Mainly because my oldest son shot 90+% of our 22 ammo. One day he walked in looking quiet agervated and just said "would you PLEASE quit buying those Remington 22s". I just laughed a little and said "Sure, but the only time I buy them is when Walmart is out of everything else." (because I have issues whit them to and their higher) he then told me if they were out of everything else just to wait and buy other stuff later.

I haven't bought any since.

Here's the NEW AND IMPROVED! Golden Bullet in the new 225 round box.

My Marlin Model 60s eat the GB ammo like candy. Never had one jam in it unless it was a FTF. I've been lucky that all my 22s shoot every brand of ammo I buy.
 
Went out yesterday looking for some of this "New and Improved" Remington ammo but still haven't come across any. The older bulk packs are still on the shelves at a couple of places I went to. Some other places didn't have any at all; just various Remington rimfire ammo in the 50 count boxes.
 
I bought a pack and fired about 50 rounds so far in my Colt Woodsman. If all goes well, I'll buy another box, and so on. But I won't trust until I've gone a thousand rounds without a misfire.

Did you try Walmart?
 
I gave up on Remington Golden bulk packs almost 10 years ago because it was inconsistent, misfired/misfed frequently and seemed dirtier than most other .22's available for comparable prices at the time.

I have tested many brand/weight combination bulk packs in my time and have settled on just 2 brands for all my rimfire shooting. Speer/CCI---Blazer and Federal Auto Match. Both are standard velocity and both are lead slugs.

I own and shoot all manner of .22 pistols, rifles, and revolvers from the 1930's to present day models. These 2 "value priced" bulk pack .22 rounds are superior in performance, accuracy and dependability across my collection of rim fires that I rarely if ever use any other brand.

I do freely admit I am not a competitor nor do I shoot on any "for score leagues" anymore. Having said that doesn't mean that I settle for mediocre equipment or ammunition when I shoot. I have learned through years of experience to separate slicky boy marketing from real world experience

This post is just my opinion and take these words for what they're worth, your mileage may vary as they say!
 
I had so many problems with Rem. Golden bullets in even bolt actions, and revolvers that I swore off of them. I don't know what it would take to get me to try them again, but I haven't seen it yet.

Same here -- althought I bought a 225-round pack of the new stuff, and I'll see how it shoots.

As it stands, however, it will be a looooong time before I trust any Remington ammunition. I shudder to think about driving all the way to Colorado, paying for tags and all the related expenses, just to hear a "click" when I have a big bull elk in my sights.
 
Colt Service Ace Conversion kit and Stevens Favorite, so far. Both guns are highly reliable with good ammo. I have another nine .22 rifles and handguns, and will shoot them all before I finish this 225 round box.
 
I'm shocked that you are having such bad luck. My P22 loves them as much as my other 22s and everyone says the P22 is a real POS. Maybe I'll start having problems now. Hopefully not.

Asking for less than 0.1 percent failure rate, even out of centerfire ammunition is a little extreme sir. Roll your expectations back a little bit and you'll be more than happy.

Update -- I just had two misfires in 20 rounds. Out of the total I've fired so far, that's about a 4% misfire rate -- unacceptable.

You might want to work on your math too. ;)
