Couple of days ago had to go by Wally World*, and just out of curiosity went by the ammo case, and Lo! There were .22s there! The 225-packs of Remington Golden Bullet, but still the first .22 I've seen in the wild in quite a while. With 'New and Improved' on the side.
Well, they're far better than nothing, so got two boxes, and today tried them out best way I could think of, with the 15-22.
Reason? I've mentioned it before, that sucker has eaten every brand/type of .22LR I've fed it except the Remington GB. As in somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 of the damn things wouldn't fit all the way into the chamber. And that's from a couple of different boxes bought at different times.
So today I put fifty rounds through. No misfires(a miracle there for Remington bulk-pack), no failures to feed, just bang-bang-bang.
Maybe Remington finally pulled their head out and started doing these right.
*As a guy I know puts it "Sometimes you gotta go to Wal-Mart."
Dare we ask how many $$$ you had to fork over for them?
ReplyDeleteThey need a new and improved customer service dept. I emailed them about a defect 6 days ago and haven't gotten a reply yet. As soon as I have some free time they're going to get an ear full!
ReplyDeleteOne of the good things about Wally World, standard price: about $12/box
ReplyDeleteDoesn't work down here. Same bunch of people line up at the local wallystore early every Thursday morning and buy the three box limit until it's all gone; then off to the next gun-show to mark it up tp $50-70/box.
ReplyDeleteBunch of the same assholes here, too; like I said, this is the first I've found on the shelves in months
