Remington bulk .22 seems to be a niche ammo. Its works well in a few guns, but most dont like it. It works best in my GSG-5, but Federal works better and is consistent from one lot to the next with only a few, if any, that need a second hit. Four out of five of my other .22s don't like it. I guess I should try the GBs in my daughter's cricket.
I bought a buncha of the GBs that were on sale when I built a rimfire 1911, and didn't have any issues with them, and during the course of shooting that lot I built an AR22 as well. I didn't understand the "GBs are crap" comments until I got more, from a different lot... I've only bought federal since, and haven't had issues.
They can say improved all they want. IMO it was chicken crap, sold as chicken salad. It might be a better chicken salad now, but that doesn't change the fact that its still made out of chicken crap... JMO.
