Cabelas is selling Remington Golden Bullet .22lr for 7 cents/round. I'd have posted this in the "deals" category but they're limiting sales to 100 rounds and their cheapest shipping option makes it prohibitively expensive.

 

Does anyone have any experience with this product?

 

Golden Bullet .22 shorts make my S&W 617 revolver lock up.

Yeah.  I used them in my Walther P22 amd CMMG AR Bolt kit.

 

Fairly reliable as well.  I used to have FTF, FTE all the time with the P22.  After a little polish here and there, it feeds like a champ.

 

They work pretty good in the AR bolt kit as well.

yeah - I have found it to be utter crap.  Many will concur, a few will tell you it works great in their firearms.

I used it on other .22 rifles i had and they didn't like it at all,i won't even try it in my sako .22 she likes RWS and Eley

You have a high falootin .22

Does not function well in a lot of my semi autos.  Lots of FTE's and it just plain feels dirty.

I got some of these a while ago. I wasn't expecting much because i've heard bad things about them. To my surprise, they functioned flawlessly in my M&P 15-22. Not to say i'm going to seek these out, but if it's all that's available then i'll shoot them.

I haven't had many issues actually. The occasional round that took a more then 1 strike to fire in my revolver. Other then that, it actually shot pretty well in my semi-autos. Weird.

My M&P 22 eats them like candy.

They work flawlessly in my Sig Mosquito, Winchester SuperX on the other hand turn it into a SA one shot!

I like them because they don't lead up the barrel.

Those Golden Bullets are awful!!!! I can help all of you to dispose them properly. Just send ig to me and I'll cover the mailing cost.

Despite the hate, my guns like em.  Yes, they are dirty...so you gotta clean your guns...a lot of .22s are dirty...at least the cheap stuff...so not really an issue to me...

 

They have functioned fine for me in all 6 of my .22s (3 semis, a lever, and 2 bolts)...there are some that will fail to fire - again I've run into this with many different cheap .22s...  They are not rounds I would trust my life to (not that I'd pick .22s for that*), but the most I have to worry about from steel or paper targets are dropping em on my toes or papercuts...and for that, Golden Bullets do just fine...

 

I run them in my guns when I [used to] find em for a good price...that's the important qualifier.  I'm equally happy running Federal bulk 525rd packs or Federal Champion 500rd packs...and price being equal, those are what I'd rather shoot.  I've passed on 525rd packs of GBs I've found recently for $45...that's way too much for this ammo.  If it's all you can find to shoot, fine, so be it, get some...see if your gun likes em...it is hit or miss with some guns/uppers...I just wouldn't spend more than 5 or 6 cents a shot for them...not when I used to spend a little over 3 cents a shot for them before...

 

 

 

 

 

 

*if I were forced, CCI Mini Mags, Stingers, and Velocitors have never failed me, of course at 3-4x the price...

My MP15-22 has no problems with golden bullets even though the manual says not to use them.

They are crap.  Most of the bullets are not even crimped tight into the case and you can hear a shot to shot difference in my MK III.  But, if thats all you can get and they are not stupid expensive, you might as well get some.

They worked great in my Sig Mosquito as well. I tried American Eagle in it and every other round I had a problem. Back to the Rems and zero problems. The AE was high velocity like they recommended. I will stick with the golden bullets especially for the money and ease of getting them .

My Buckmark loves them. Then again my Buckmark loves just about everything except CCI for some reason.
