Ammo Finds - Post them here

They are CAL/GAUG:22LR THUNDERBOLT/500

Yep, looking back at my history, I see it really was Thunderthuds when I posted. Sorry--I guess I won't be the last to be fooled by the picture.

SO are the TB's going on back order or just the few GB's that popped up?

I tried ordering both types of Remington. Both my cart views, confirmations and info when clicking on order status both show Thunderbolts and Golden Bullets.
So if they go through I'll receive 1 of each of the Thunderbolts and GB's.

EDIT.

None of mine are showing Backorder at all.

they are TB not GB, but my sw 617 like them. heck it shoot anything.

[joshua2bad4u]

I really like the Thunderbolts they seem cleaner than the Golden's
but that's just my opinion my guns eat them both well

[ciscollector]

Both the GB and TB's have the same item number. Not sure if they will cancel one if you place two separate orders. They won't allow me to put one of each in the same cart.

I still have an order in to midway for 3K rounds ordered on 1/13. Said delivery on 3/7. We will see.

I can be patient at times.

I actually saw 525 when it popped up once, then it was 500 when I zipped through the second time. Whatever. I've never shot TB before because everybody says they suck. Any body know what the difference is between GB and TB?

From what I read on here and other forums:

TB= crappy lead and powder

GB= crappy lead powder + some sore of coating.

I'm sure others have a better description.

I've never had an issue with any ammo yet. My friends and I have gone through thousands of rounds. Sure a dud here and there but it seems like people just want to post an opinion. Unless your hunting rats or shooting competitively thunderbolts are fine.

My Buckmark eats anything so far but I have never shot any TB's so I may have 3,975 TB's for sale!

They both are bad. I loaded up a clip of 10 Golden HP this weekend and they shot like a mussel loader. Smoke everywhere. And smelled like cheap fireworks. They coated everything in a layer of black grit.

I think I'll be sticking to CCI.

Edit: they flew decent though, hit my mark on the first shot at 40 yards.
