Walmart remington 550 golden bullet review

[maxxlara]

Bought a pack of Walmart Remington 550 golden bullets a couple of days ago for $18.67. I normallly buy the Winchester 555 rounds but someone beat me to it. Oh well. I took both 10/22s to the range. My sons carbine and my race rifle. My son was using the Remingtons and I was testing Stingers in my rifle. (I know, I know) I watched my son load up 3 magazines all ten rounds and he started firing. Right off the bat I noticed a a different sound of each shot. Bang, BANG, thump, whoosh. I was like " what the heck" The gun didnt jam but it was like the powder in the cartridges were not consistant. After about 80 rds I wanted to try these bullets. I took over his gun and fired. The first few were normal. But I did have alot of underpowered ones. I actually thought one didnt leave the barrel and had to check. Accuracy was all over the place. Some were bullseyes and some barley hit the paper like it laubed out the barrel. Mind you we were only shooting 25yards with open sights. How Remington could let something like this happen is beyond me. After a while I gave him a box of the Winchester 555s and he finished off our time.
On a different note, I shot 100rds of cci stingers in my race rifle with the bull barrel it came with, no problems at all. I know I wasnt supposed to but I had to see if it could. Just my 2 cents...

Remington ammo sucks, your experience is quite typical. And BTW, it's "magazine", not "clip"

[calibanman]

Darn I just impulse bought a box.

I'll take all of the Goldens people want to give me!! they are great for free .

Theire not crap. Neither argh theire trash. They are SНIТ yo. Given that they cost roughly the same as Winchester or me favorite Federal ammo.... I see no reason to waste money on them.

Ive bought remingtons from walmart. just to see how they would do... i purchased a small box of 50rds. My first magazine out at the range... i got 2 FTL's and 3 FTE! WTF! all in ONE Magazine of 10rds! I switched back to the Federal 550 bulk box and out of 550rds... i had 1 bad FTL. NEVER AGAIN will i buy Remington!

the Gold bullet is just bad stuff.

Remington has some good 22 ammo, like the sub-sonic one, they had the old Peters(the ones that came in the cardboard cartons) and a few others. But the Gold bullet is just.....bad.

[pennys dad]

I use the ammo in my NON Picky rifles and pistols. So here is the run down:

Stock Buckmark handles them fine
Enhanced Buckmark hates them
Marlin 795 spits out the bad ones
Colt Umerex 22 just hates them!
S&W 15-22 is fine with them
Ruger Mark III no issue
Not sure about model 60

[racky]

remington golden turds are a no-no buy

[spicydeath82]

i had a box of them... crap! that means that 22 semi auto savage i had was fine... it was the bullets!!!! no!!!! and i only sold it for 30 bucks! oh well i bought it for 15... lol.

I have a crapload of them, as they're the cheapest ammo that works in AA Glock conversions. The accuracy is ok, and they feed reliably (Federal bulk doesn't, for example, not sure why). Of course, CCI Minimags are way better, but they also cost more.

These AA conversion kits are the only guns I've encountered that actually prefer GBs.
