Remington 22 LR 36 gr Golden Bullet Plated HP

I'm glad all of the Remington GB's I've got, 10 bricks, were all made in the 70's. I've never had but maybe 2 duds out of all the GB's I've bought and shot. I've got 3 rifles I've shot this stuff out of, never had any problems, but the 2 duds previously mentioned.

I used a couple of the 100 round plastic boxes of it when I was in Alaska. The 10/22 I had there had a defective firing pin and wouldn't always set off CCI ammo, but the Remington stuff was 100% even before I got the rifle fixed.
Also found a 225 round pack of it at Walmart last week. I bought it out of principle. I'll break it open tomorrow just so I can add to the general consensus.

A good friend of mine gave me a brick of Federal Lightning a few weeks ago after learning that I had a Ruger SR22 coming to my ffl.
He has a huge ammo hoard but did not offer his Remington Thunderbolts or Golden Bullet ammo in the small giveawy.
I talked to him last night about this thread and he says all the Remington ammo he has has been extremely good.
This in a Ruger 10/22 and Marlin M60.
Also his Beretta Bobcat and a couple of .22 revolvers.

I have a Ruger Single-Six and I just found out it really likes Federal Lightning .22 ammo. That ammo is incredibly accurate in my revolver. Remington Golden Bullets are the .22's that shoot best in my Henry levergun.

I bought into the anti-GB talk for a long time and never tried them. A couple of my .22LR guns are picky about their diet - SIG Mosquito and my Ruger 10-22 shoot fine on MiniMags, but choke occasionally on Federal bulk. Found some GBs on sale and decided what the heck, they can't be any worse than the Federals. Amazingly, since I started shooting these things I have not had a single problem in ANY of my .22LR guns - not even the Mosquito that was giving me 2-3 misfeeds per magazine on anything but MiniMags. YMMV and maybe I'm just plain lucky, but the GBs seem to work just fine for me - I'm glad I bought a dozen bricks when I could get them.

I've shot tons of that garbage out of my 22/45 and other than being really dirty and occasional mis-fires, I have no problem shooting them out of any of my.22's.

Sorry, That's a feed problem. You should be able to pick them out before they are loaded into a magazine.
