Remington 22 golden bullet

[sigfan91]

Is the worst piece of garbage I've ever shot out of my gun.

They are dirty. I've had multiple empty cases jammed in the chamber. I had to use a cleaning rod to push it out because the Beretta 21A doesn't have an extractor. And then I found out all the jammed cases had cracks running almost the entire length of the case.

These things jammed my Heritage Rough Rider also. Some required a lot of force on the ejector to push them out. I had never examined those cases, but I suspect they were cracked as well.

I am almost done with the bucket and can't wait.

Yea they seem to be on the lower end of quality for .22, but they have always worked well in lever guns and revolvers for me. Semiautos are hit and miss, my S&W M&P-22 eats them. If you don't like them don't buy them!

Try Thunderbolts

I just picked up a bucket, is the census I should run them through my bolt 22 and not semi? I don't want to spend half my time frustrated digging shells out.

Might depend on the semi, My Marlin 60 would eat golden's, Though I shoot mainly CCI.

I won't buy them again.

I just need to get through this bucket of 1400 rounds.

I did fire them in my lever gun. I forgot how that went. It was probably better. None of my semi-autos like this stuff.

Try Thunderbolts

Are those better or worse?

Try them in your autos first before making any conclusions. Your auto might not have a problem with them.

I tried this stuff in my autos and they hate it. Even my revolver doesn't like this stuff.

Way worse, I was being a jerk I think thunderbolts are best fired from a slingshot.

I had concerns about thunderbolts so I didn't buy them

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

They aren't nicknamed Golden Turds and Thunder-turds for nothing.

Not my favorite, but for 10/22 plinkin' at $05/pop for the kids? They are all right.

I have noticed the Rem Goldens that come separated in plastic 100 round packs are more reliable than the bulk packed of the same brand. But Thunderbolts are in 50 packs and that doesn't help them.

I have had good experiences with Aguila, CCI and even Armscor lately.

Noticed this as well.

Got a whole Case of 225/Box GB at Walmart (One Box Limit ) and have had pretty good luck with them. Not the most accurate, but still pretty reliable.

Buddy got a GB Bucket-O-Bullets. Not the same by a long stretch.
