I had some of there golden bullets that did that.

You could pull them out with your fingers.

They just sit in the case like a loose tooth.

They go bang. Not one ftf. I will sill shot them till I get better stuff

I've shot it. It is sketchy, but it works most of the time. If you could buy every kind of .22 made at reasonable prices - I'd steer clear. But for plinking ammo during this ammo shortage - you did score big time.

Here is what you should expect - an occasional stove pipe or FTE because the charge is weak. If your gun is really ammo fussy and it is the kind of gun that really only functions reliably with CCI - you will be pretty unhappy using it. But if your gun cycles most .22 it will normally cycle this too. If you are shooting a revolver or bolt action - you will notice the occasional flier just from a weak powder charge, but that is pretty much it.

If it sucks for you, PM me - I'll buy the bucket off you. I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one on here to make you that offer.

For whatever reason, those golden hollow points like to catch on the feed ramp and jam in my Ruger Mark III Hunter. I send more time clearing jams and fiddling about with the mag, loader, and gun than I do shooting. I think the ones I bought have too much wax and that is gumming up the magazine causing the feeding issues - the cartridges stick together and the top one doesn't "pop up" and feed like it should.

Some of the bullets have been loose, but not so many as I would notice.

NFS thank you but no thank you. Most of the plinking is short range. Shooting with a 10/22

Last time I got one of those I sold it to a buddy before even shooting one. Too many issues when used in my rimfires.

I bought a bucket at BassPro Arundel about 6 months ago for about $69. They are a bit flimsy and I've had some fall apart also. I had some problems early on with my Beretta Neos, but later acquired a Ruger SR22 that seems to like them. Also, my 10/22 will spit them out nicely most of the time.

Golden bullets arent the most accurate or consistent but if you're just plinking, they are fine. If you want accuracy and consistency, stay away.

I have the same problem with GB, spins around in the brass but always goes boom. Not the worse accuracy wise. Dicks/Cabelas occasionally has M22 which I prefer for cheap shooting.

And POI seems about the same for M22 and GB so idk about the 1400 fps claim.

With GBs I have had repeated FTLs (as in one FTL every four rounds). When Dick's recently had their sale I bought M22s for exactly that reason. My 10/22 is fine with Bulk Federal, Winchester, CCI, etc. But the GBs absolutely will not feed through it.

Remington Golden Bullets can be like that. I stopped shooting it for anything requiring 100% but the last box of 525 I opened is shooting extremely well safe a couple misfires. But the accuracy has very very good and feeding excellent...especially in my 1911 Ciener conversion. (scratches head).

yeah, my colt/umarex AR loves them. I actually have several bricks of cci standard that I don't even shoot because I can barely hear them go bang lol
