Re: 22LR Ammo recall
I have found Remington sub sonics to be inconsistent in the past, I would only buy them if nothing else was available.

Re: 22LR Ammo recall
The Remington 'thunderbolt ' has been the most inconsistent stuff I've run across. And of course I have 8 or 10 bricks of it! Hey I got it for next to nothing

Re: 22LR Ammo recall
As stated Remington is my least favorite rimfire ammo and like many here may have fired a few hundred 1000 of them from different manufactures.
It is not the critic who counts
Re: 22LR Ammo recall
Forty years ago I exclusively used Remington 37 grain HP ammunition to squirrel hunt with because it was very accurate out of my 10/22. All of the bullets were wax coated and crimped well, no loose bullets.
I recently bought a 100 round plastic tray of the 37 gr HP's and they were very inconsistent with many flyers. I noticed that some bullets were out of round and some were loose in the case.
I can only assume that the tooling that Remington uses is worn out or they just don't care about quality.

Re: 22LR Ammo recall
Remington rimfire is the worst.
Lotsa misfires, not all that accurate, etc.
I'll buy anything else available before I buy that stuff.

I’ve got one 22 that absolutely loves Thunderbolt. Crunchy wax and all.
Kind regards,

Re: 22LR Ammo recall
Each gun is a different story but I seem to never get misfires with Federal or CCI ammo. Armscorps is pretty good too.
But I seem to get misfires with Remington

Re: 22LR Ammo recall
I had some federal that no matter what gun I tried them in they would not go off. I sent them back to federal and they replaced them. Then one day months later I heard metal bouncing around in the dryer.
Yup it was a single federal .22. Seems I washed close to a box of those 22s in a pocket and not knowing any better I sent federal ammo that was clean!
