I like the Golden Bullets. For the price, they work in all of my guns and have decent accuracy. I have some CCI Standard Velocity for shooting suppressed from rifles. I've got a Bucket O' Bullets sitting around from the ammo scare a few years back. Didn't want to break into it at that time.

Hi from South Africa. Bought same bucket locally. For some bizarre reason they remove the stickers from the buckets. From my CZ 452 this ammo shoots very well. About one inch groups at 50 to 60 yards. Very good ammo at a good price.
@3142994 жыл бұрын
Sounds like the Remington ammo is a good one for your CZ. I cant imagine why they would remove the stickers from the buckets. Quite odd indeed.
@regsparkes65074 жыл бұрын
This is good ammunition, at least it is for me,..I've been using this for a long time now,..and I can't recall ever having a dud either. I use in in revolvers, pistols and semi auto rifles and of course in my bolt action rifles, all with satisfactory shooting fun. It's not the only ammo. I shoot with, but it is the one I have the most of.

The crimp in these Remington bullets are not correct. You can actually spin the bullets on about 1/3 of them because they're so loose. Not good for long term storage. I find a lot of duds after stored for 3 years probably due to humidity being able to seep in through the loose heads. This does not occur with Winchester or Federal bulk.
@3142994 жыл бұрын
The loose bullets do not inspire confidence however they shot much better than I had expected them to. As for storage the ammo comes in a plastic bucket that is airtight when the lid is on. My personal experience with this ammo has not shown any increase in "duds" after several years of storage.
@nedrain90444 жыл бұрын
I don't like the loose heads either. It's annoying to find loose bullets and powder in the bottom of the box! I've always shot mine up before encountering any storage problems though, and they do shoot well. But Federal would be my first choice.

I bought a bucket of this stuff as an experiment and given that I paid full price it was more expensive than bulk CCI Standard Velocity. Also, there were about the same amount of malfunctions as you report (2%-4%). I have fired thousands of rounds of the CCI SV and I don't think I've had a single malfunction. It was not as accurate for me as the CCI SV and it is very dirty. If I could get a bucket for $35C I might think about it but otherwise for me it has no advantages over the CCI SV.
@3142994 жыл бұрын
I certainly would pick CCI standard velocity over this stuff if accuracy were the only criteria, however not all semi's work reliably with standard velocity ammo as they are set up for high velocity ammo. I was not aware that CCI sold their Standard Velocity load in a bulk package, all I have ever seen was in 50 round boxes.

We primarily use lever and single action .22's to slow down our ammo consumption...we have been able to maintain a decent amount of 'take to the range' ammo as the ammo crunch has eased a little bit, able to replace what we shoot...the price for bulk has gone up, we paying 6.1 to 9.9 cents a round, but that is still an arm and a leg cheaper than any of our larger calibers...

I'm not sure, however, I think this video is a reuploaded one. doesn't matter, funny thing, I shot a lot of that remington golden bullet ammo and had better than average results in bullseye pistol league shooting (In my ruger Mk-2 pistols). I only shoot standard velocity in my higher grade guns to save ware and tare on the springs and reduce cycle ware on them (High Standard, Smith-41) I used to have a Hammerli P-215 that some dude shot high velocity in it, he developed a crack in the slide, I got a really good deal on that gun and sent it back to Hammeli for repair. I shot that for many years.-Dave

Yes, this is "re edited" material, now approved by the YT types with the addition of the opening "disclaimer". I had rather low expectations for this ammo, especially as I bought this as opened container at a gun show. It did much better than I thought it would. I have only one .22lr target pistol (a Margolin MCM) and I've been told that shooting high velocity stuff in it is unwise as it will cause damage.

Much better than Winchester white box 333 or 555 bulk packs. Or that Federal automatch stuff which is just garbage! All my semi autos, both pistols and rifles run them fine! I would stop short of saying there mini mag good, however. But unbeatable for the price!

High velocity .22 LR will often group better at 100 yards/meters than standard velocity. However at 50 the standard velocity generally shoots better. That is fairly expensive for a bulk box of .22 ammo.

This is the worst 22 lr ammo I've ever used. After thinking it was a good deal, I was brought back to reality by stoppages & jams. I thought it was the rifle and tried a few others with the same results. It's ok if using it in a bolt action or lever action. I'm a fan of 22s and won't buy this stuff again, I'll spend the extra$ and get another brand. I'm finding the Aguila to be a good ammo in all types they sell.
@314299 Жыл бұрын
I think what often gives people grief with this ammo is that they often have bullets that are loose after crimping, and that leads to feed issues in many semi's.
