CMP Remington 22 Ammo

I received my Remington 22 ammo on Saturday and went out and fired 60 rounds out of my 10/22. There were no problems with functioning or accuracy. At 35 yards the ten shots groups were about 5/8 inch. I'm pleased with the ammo.

I got to shoot some of the CMP surplus Remington ammo yesterday. I shot 65 rounds out of my Marvel Precision Unit 1. It functioned without flaw and there were no duds. I usually don't get this lucky.

I the 1960's and 70's I shot a lot of Remington 22 mmo without a single malfunction.
I have experienced ignition failures in teh 2 to 5% range when soem Remington ammo such as their Golden Bullet is used in semi auto pistols. The same ammo used in a revolver produces perhaps1 or 2 ignition failures out of 300 to 500 rounds. I believe it is due to the friability of the priming compound. Temington Traget SV and Remington Tnurnderbolt show much lower ignition failures in semi auto pistols than their Golden Bullet ammo.
