Please note that this is in THEIR testing. Many owners have posted on this forum that they use the ammo with no problems. Others have posted that they have had problems. FWIW, I put about 300 rounds of 10-year old Rem Thunderbolt through mine without a bobble.
The moral of the story is to see how it performs in your 15-22. That's the only thing that matters.

Trouble is with the Quality Control now. I have a few old bricks of Rem Thunderbolts and a couple old bricks of Wildcats I found in the back of a closet in old Military ammo cans. Old as in the price on the bricks from Pamida was $4.95 each. They ALL have been shooting great and zero hicups. The newer Thunderbolts suck in all my 22's. Glad I bought them in just a couple 50 round boxes to see how the news ones fired. What a waist. Heard a rumor that Rem had out sourced them off shore a few years back...
