Wow
Glad I read this whole thread. Didn't realize the date on the original discussion.
I stocked up pretty heavy on goldens back in the mid-90s because my 10/22 shot it so vastly better than ANYthing I put through the gun. Eley, Aguila, CCI, tried a bunch. I saved the GB's for anything requiring accuracy with that rifle. FTF has been almost non-existant.
Went through countless boxes of other brand bulk, as plinkers, in the mean time. And I've got a couple other 22lr that like some of the higher end rounds better.
I was really disappointed to read the first few pages of posts dissing the GB, until I continued to read...
For those who swore it off forever, why not give the "new and improved" a chance? It sounds like Remmington has done something positive, and if so, should be rewarded with our business, rather than still getting bashed on the internet. If it's not really improved, don't buy it any more. But if you haven't tried it, how would you know? Yeah, it won't matter to some.
BTW, I haven't tried the "tweener" bad stuff or the new stuff 'cause I'm still working on the stash of old stuff.
