Default M&P22 Thunderbolt Ammo?

I was wondering if anyone has had any problems shooting Rememinton ThunderBolt 22lr in their M&P22? Walmart is selling a box of 50 for $1.94....going to the ranger tomarrow and rent a M&P22 to see if the wife likes it before I go buy one...

I don't shoot Thunderbolt in anything. In my experience the stuff produced a lot of lead fouling and decreased accuracy. And the lead is hard to clean out.

Yeah what he said. I shot up some old Wildcats I had cause I ran
out of my good Winchester Super X stuff and OMG I think I shot
150 rounds and I had LEAD hanging out the end of the MUZZLE!

WILL Never do that again and there are no more cheapo loads
in my house.

Splurge and buy a box of plated ammo. It will still lead, although not as much, and will feed better.

Remember that bulk .22 LR ammo is cheap for a reason. The only guns I shoot the bulk in are .22 revolvers, and then it is the higher priced bulk.
