I heard the reason thunderbolts run so well (our autos love them) is the casing is a fraction of a hair narrower than other brands, allowing for easier feeding/ejecting...that makes sense to me, if it is true...don't know if/how that could be measured, but something is right about 'em...

I've fired several bulk round 22lr over the years. The Remington golden bullets have been the worst I've used. I've had the most failure to fire with these. And they sound like they are loaded very inconsistently. But I've always had good luck with Remington LRN Thunderbolts and the Remington Cyclone lead hollow points. I never buy the Golden bullets anymore, but I do have some put back that my family have given me for gifts. Honestly, the only 22lr I have that I believe are worse, is a brick of Russian Rooster steel case 22lr I have put back that were sold during the 90's. I figure when if I get down to using the Golden bullets and the Russian Roosters, I'm in trouble ! Lol. Good video like always !

Over the years, I've discovered that 22lr ammo that misfires and malfunctions in autos and double action revolvers, almost always goes off in single action revolvers and double actions fired in single action. And in rifles, I've had more misfires in my Marlin model 60's than any other model. It seems the 60's just don't hit the casing as hard as other rifles. A friend of mine bought a brand new Marlin 60 and came over to try it out. He had about a 10% misfire rate with it. He was using some Winchester bulk Wildcats. Almost every misfired round went off in my Ruger single 6.

This test makes me think one of two things is true, or maybe even that both things are true.... Either (1) the new Remington ammo after the buyout has better priming compounds but still a little loose on powder level consistency or (2) that TX-22 is way above average in getting poor priming compound to go BOOM, or a combination of 1 & 2. It says a LOT about how good that pistol is to even make me think to even type this comment, it's such an odd thought, but your TX-22 might be TOO GOOD at making them rounds go BOOM, and you have to try out a more typical tool that people seem to have trouble with when shooting the Golden Boolits... It seems from the comments that Marlin Model 60's don't like the old Golden Bullets. Gotta wonder if those Model 60's like the NEW Golden Bullets?? Anyway, that's an awesome "problem" to have... "Is my tool TOO GOOD to test marginal ammo?" This test makes me want to buy a TX-22, not necessarily buy Golden Bullets :) Go ahead, Taurus! And go ahead, Mr. Tools!

I have a Bersa Thunder 22 that has a real need for very high or hyper velocity ammo. Many bulk ammo offerings that are advertised to be high velocity are too weak to operate the BT22 reliably. I have been pleasantly surprised to find both the Remington Thunder bolts and the Remington Golden bullets do a very reliable job operating the BT22. They also seem to me to be cleaner than many other bulk ammo offering.

I remember hearing some years back that Remington did a lot of work to improve the quality on Golden Bullets. Haven't tried them since. Back when I still used them, I had one that would make 100 yards no problem like a laser, and others that dropped two feet by 50 yards. Some of the bullets would spin in the casing. Those were probably the really slow ones. A second test, maybe more limited, with a rifle might be a good idea. Mainly just to see the difference in expansion in gel. Did the Golden Bullets add more gold to the golden jelly?
