Ok, Remington GB .22 does suck

[tcd511]

I was out with some yesterday. 12 jams in my tiger 22/45. Switched to cci no problems after that. The stuff just sucks

[SteveMartin]

Yeah, just use it in your revolver so you only have to deal with the duds and not the jams.

Agreed, most problems I have had with these are failure to fire; even in an old revolver without a transfer bar.

I have to agree this stuff is filthy, and about 3-5% of them misfire. But for whatever reason, its accurate as anything else in my Marlin 795.
Here's a five shot group at 100 yards, 5-10 mph crosswind:

I've had 0 issues in my SR22 (~200 rounds) and Marlin 795 (~100 rounds) so far. The gold glitter you get on your hands and gun is annoying, though.

I haven't had any failure to feed or misfires with GB after only 10 rounds it looks like dipped my clip into a bucket of broken up pencil dust.

I'll be sticking to Winchesters CPHP, for the extra few bucks.

i had my gsg 1911 blow up with the Rem gb, the whole rear of the case blew out into my face and split my slide in 2 pieces up to the ejection port

[Quickdraw Mcgraw]

I guess .22's can be picky "eaters". I have a Marvel Precision rimfire kit for a SA 1911 Loaded Target. Talk about finicky. Several different CCI loads and Federal loads gave me about a 30% FTF rate.

I had a box of 40 gr. GBs that I tried in desperation. They ran through that 1911 like water through a seive. No malfs at all, and printed very consistent groups too.

Same with my Advantage arms g23 conversion...they actually recomend the ol'Golden Remmys. Federal bulk does not work...go figure!?!

I think GB sucks because I get about 5 per 100 that don't have any primer in them. I have tried these duds in 2 or 3 guns until they had 4 different firing pin marks.

I just hate how dirty that ammo is. My guns look like my daughter threw gold glitter at them after I am done shooting for the day.

Quoted for tha truff. Gold glitter on everything drives me crazy. Usually stick to blazer and mini mag now.

[Ogre8472]

Wow i guess im one of the few people that have had good luck with this stuff. Most everything ive fed goldens to has done well with. To be hobest ive havent had the gliter issue.

[driftstalker]

Thanks for sharing the info man. Yeah, CCI Blazer usually works great in all my 22lr guns.

[johnny1290]

I had no luck with the GB either. I can't remember specifically now, just thinking that I'd never use it again. Federal seems to work great for me in everything.

[Izzy43]

Remington GBs are like dark beer, some love it, some hate it.

[chucksolo69]

The stuff never worked in my GSG-5, Colt M4 or any of my .22 pistols, Walther P22 and SIG Mosquito. I haven't tried it in my Browning 1911 .22 A1 yet. My SIG 522 will feed it though. I find that Remington Thunderbolts work well in all my guns too. It is the most accurate ammo I run through my little Browning. Strange.
