Remington 22lr golden bullets
Is it just me or are the rounds that come in the bulk packs of these really dirty? I don't mean dirty in the gun, i mean dirty in the outside of the round. I load these into my magazines and my fingers come away gray with brass specks. And then later the skin peels from my thumb (from thumbing rounds into the mag)
Anyone else? Anything i can do about it? |

IMO, the Remington Golden Bullet is junk. They are the only rounds that jam in my Ruger Target & Marlin. The powder charges are inconsistent; some cases barely eject & some don't make it out. And yes, they're also dirty.
I think Remington outsources the manufacture to other cheaper companies. |

I have a magazine loader for my glock 22lr conversion kit so it's not that i'm fighting spring tension which causes the skin to peel.
I use it because it's easy to get at walmart and it's recommended for my conversion kit. Now that the kit is more broken in i might switch to cleaner (on the outside) bulk 22lr |

I love Golden Bullets. They've always been one of my favorite plinking rounds. They might be a little dirty, but not enough for me to notice or care. By contrast, I hate Thunderbolts and bulk Winchester (555, etc.). I guess it's a "to each, his own" thing.

I've never used the 555's, but none of my .22's have a problem with the Golden's or the Thunderbolts. Federal Auto Match works OK as well, except in my GSG 1911..... not enough juice in 'em to reliably cycle the action. Lots and lots of stovepipes.

I have never found the golden bullets to be dirty. I have compared them to other brands by shooting them through a chronograph, I have found goldens to have very inconsistent velocity, up to 180 fps spread in a 10 shot group. CCI mini-mags are under 40 fps spread in a 10 shot string. I will use them if nothing else is available.
