I am one of the naysayers when it comes to Remington 22 LR ammo. They do know how to make good 22 ammo, as I shot up several 500 count of the Yellow Jackets. They are more expensive but when shooting Sage Rats, they are very accurate.One of the reasons I quit buying Remington was the number of misfires.

Finally settled on the Federal 535 packs and they were much better. The Federal 1500 fps ammo served me well. A case lasted me several seasons. Shot all of them from a Model 77/22 Ruger.

Yeah, we used to call em "golden turds" because of the misfires. Seems that's all Rem is producing lately. 1400 round buckets are about all we've been getting in the shop lately.

We use them in our Model 60 Marlin that seems to really like them. I don't think that we have ever had a misfire with them from that rifle. Also use them for rat control and butchering rabbits. The Double Nine high standard and the H&R Sportsmen revolvers fire them without problem so far. I have shot a couple of magazines through my Ruger 22/45 but not enough to say much more than they went off, I hit some targets and they cleaned up ok. It is obvious that we have been lucky with the batch that we are shooting.

We must buy that junk at the same place, Lowell. I've shot 'em for years with no idea how many boxes and bricks of them that I've wasted, and I've never had one single misfire.

Good Golly, Miss Molly...........What am I doing wrong....?

Default Rem Goldens

I think all bulk ammo will have it's share of misfires, just the nature of the beast when your talking about bulk packaged rimfire ammo. My issue with the Goldens comes into play when qualifying Boy Scouts for accuracy. Rifles at the various camps usually fall into 2 groups bad and worse. They are rode hard and put away poorly cleaned, from the muzzle. I give them a pass, they are what they are. We are fortunate and have our own range to qualify on and I supply 3 rifles with peep sights for the boys to shoot. Shooting 5 3shot groups at 50ft with irons that you can cover with a quarter is usually a breeze. Except with the Goldens which have an irritating habit of dropping a shot 1-2". We came to that conclusion after a few of the Dads who shoot ARA with me bellied up to the bench and started to fire some groups thinking the issue might have been the rifles. They could even call the dropped shots by the report and basically said their past experience with them was no different. We still shoot them, ususally in 10/22's, semi pistols, some of those swanky AR15-22's everyone seems to own now. For bulk accuracy we usually use the Federal 550's in the brown box, I believe they are a Walmart exclusive.

"Dropped out rounds", (squibs) sounds like the otherwise incredibly accurate Winchester Dynapoints.

I had 5 groups on the same target with a 6th sighter bull. All the squibs (about 4, happened when firing at the sighter target, My agg. was .222"- with the Dynapoints.
I was lucky to have wind flags and a changing wind, so made good use of the 'sigther' bull. Just lucky to have the dropped shots happen when shooting target. Normally 1/2" low - 50 yards.
