Hodmedod.one Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have had some of this ammo for a couple of years now and finally got around to using it last night for some long range bunny bashing. It has been stored in the top compartment of my gun cabinet, so no issues with dampness etc. It was absolutely useless. I would estimate 3 out of 10 made less noise than an Eley Sub. They were all over the place. I got some Winchester Lazers off my mate and they were miles better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Some time ago I bought a thousand Remington standard .22rf for target shooting. They were **** also. All over the place. I used them up as barrel warmers. If anyone visits American gun sites you will find Remington products vilified there also. Guns included. Big name. Poor quality control.

deadeye ive Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I have a theory that the dregs of the .22lr ammo industry went into making Remmington .....However I have to say their HMR stuff is on the nail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the 22lr from Remington has been really nasty Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikkamark Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 However I have to say their HMR stuff is on the nail Thats probably because there using hornady's v-max bullet The remington c.f ammo is fairly good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blowfelt Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 ive had far better results from cci blazer than anything ive used by Remmington in 22lr, considering blazer is cheap and nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Sick Old Man Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I hate to say this but most ammunition we use is made by the same company, http://www.atk.com/Customer_Solutions_Ammu..._as_default.asp I think that with the current state of world affairs a lot of plants in the US are being turned over to military prodution, I am guessing but I think that all other munitions will be farmed out to poorer quality plants such as IMI who manufacture such delights as Sampson which is the worst ammo I have ever used. I think we can brace ourselves for some poor quality rounds appearing over the next few months, Gloom :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholiath Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I use remington .22rf subsonics through my remington 597 all the time with good accuracy, never had any weak charges or misfires. Tried CCI subs and my grouping was like a shotgun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
