It is not clear to me that you mean that the new Remington .22s are as reliable as centerfire ammo, or that there have been improvements in production (but not with the Remingtons).
Packard, what I inferred is that Remington's QA is slipping. The older Remington rimfire ammunition I have has less misfires than the reports on the newer production. If your experience is different, it makes me happy because I hate to see old time American manufacturers let their quality slip to compete with the imports.

It would be nice if cheap rimfire ammunition was as dependable as cheap centerfire, but that will never be the case.
