Anyone else LIKE Remington Golden Bullets?

[nrakid88]

I had been scientific about my last outting with my ar22. The most accurate round was the Remington Golden bullet, with some fliers. The dang things don't like going off 100%, and you have to cycle through a few duds, more than normal. Function good till it gets dirty, 300 rounds at least.

I took it home, and pulled the bullets and powder from a Remington GB, and a Federal 555, loaded each primer only brass, and fired. The federal had a distinct pop, while the GB had almost a hiss.

On top of that, I think the Gold bullet has a larger diameter projectile or case which means a tighter fit and more consistency, at the expense of reliability while dirty. When GB stops working reliably, I can skate by a bit longer with some lube and a different bulk pack. I will check the measurements.

If this had a better primer, I would stock up on it even more.

Not I. For me the Remington Golden Bullets don't do me any favors. I get a lot of fliers and the groups just aren't tight enough. I really like the Walmart Federal Bulk packs, much tighter groups and no fliers.

I would call the Federal's my poor man's match ammo. And, stock up whenever I can. For loose ammo lumped into a box and shipped around the country its pretty good in my 10/22, Winchester Wildcat, CMMG 22LR upper, and my kid's Marlin 915Y.

I bought a brick of RGB when I bought a sig mosquito
it didnt cycle the gun now that it has about 2000 round
trew it. Two weeks I ran some trew it and cycle perfect RGB
I might give them a second.chance my advantage conversion
loves the RGB

Yep! Not my favorite load, but I think they're good!

[Tank 57]

Nope.

[nrakid88]

I stocked up on 1100 of them, and am going to see if by then end of that, I can get my guns to be reliable enough with them.

[nrakid88]

I also wonder if the ones from big5 are different spec than the ones from wal mart. The boxes are different.

My buddy says that the Rem GB is a great expander on small game too.

They are cool to plink with but if you want to hit what your aiming at use CCI and if you want to bulls eye use Wolf match

[NorCalDustin]

They run well in my Dedicated CMMG .22LR Uppers

I get decent groups with it, but it is the dirtiest I have ever shot. federal groups the same if not better and is way clean.

The problem with accurate ammo that has fliers is that you never know when the flier is coming. When that trophy squirrel pops into your sights and the round in the chamber is a Golden Bullet and it fails to fire or is a flyer.....well, enough said. There is so much more reliable, cleaner ammo out there at the same price, why bother. Blazers, AutoMatch, American Eagle.......

[nrakid88]

This was done at 50 using irons. I was pretty supported, but want to repeat with a red dot sight as I shoot moa with them regularly off the bench (helps my semi-poor eye sight). The wind wasn't so bad, about 5-10 mph from the back, blowing slightly to the right, and not very steady wind pattern. I tried to fire when the wind was a consistent speed.

All of that being said, which group would you choose for your stack it deep type ammo?

Top left, Fed 525.

Top right, Win 555

Middle, Rem Gold Bullet (not as reliable).

Bottom Left, Fed auto match 325

Bottom Right, CCI mini mag

If it works with your gun, use it! For me, if I can get Fed Bulk for the same price and it's more accurate, may as well go with that. I have an old Sears Mod 3T and it eats anything, even GB's, but when it comes to accuracy I think there is better ammo.

For plinking and goofing off, I'll use GB's... especially with my Sears Mod 3T. Not so much with my Beretta Neos, even though that gun eats GB's as well - too inaccurate.

[BayAreaShooter]

I'm a federal and Blazer guy myself. I have shot a lot of Remington Golden Bullet and its just not my preferred ammo.

[Turo]

It's never worked well for me in any of my or my Dad's 22s. Federal has always been more consistent.
