Thread: Vmax in 22lr

I have found Remington "Golden Bullet" to be the most pathetic excuse for ammunition I have ever come across. I get the impression Remington must employ drunk Mexican border hoppers in their ammo plant. Seriously, my 10/22 runs like a clock with CCI, Winchester etc but this shit you are lucky to get through a mag without having a miss fire, a bunch of sub sonics, or a failure to eject. You can literally hear the difference in sound from shot to shot. Why do they bother?

I agree, Bought a brick of Remington subs, the magtech runs perfect with Winchesters but these things were crap, either didn't go at all, didn't eject, pretty much everything you said.

Cant comment as to semi auto .22 rifle, but have found my S&W 422 seems to love it (so far), was just doing a search to see who has it the cheapest price and this page came up.
have tried several other brands and they have been nowhere near as reliable as this. (in my firearm)

federal bulk - worst - several ammo related failures per mag
winchester bulk - not good - at least 1 per mag
federal auto match - ok - 1 every other mag
CCI standard - good - every few mags
Winchester power point - V good - havent shot much, is too expensive. i think had 1 failure out of about 100 rnds.
Remington golden bulk - yet to have failure, after several hundred rounds.

i realize several hundred rounds isnt much for definitive conclusion, this is still my first box. but is looking very promising, looking for cheapest place to get a few more boxes.

i had previously avoided this ammo because it has such bad rep, as above comments suggest, read plenty more like it. but well worth trying in any individual firearm to see if it works for you or not id say.

i have a bolt action rifle .22 so no reliability issues there, altho i have yet to test it in it to see how horribly inaccurate it is haha. thats a whole different issue.
