Has Remington .22 Target ever solved their problem? Quite a few years ago it was the favored ammo, until there were misfires of up to over 10 per box of 50. A Remington Rep at the time used to come by and shoot in Police PPC match's. We kept saying were going to collect a months worth of misfires and give them to him. It's probably been 25+ years ago. About 7 or 8 years ago I had heard people saying good results with Remington. So I bought a single box and had 3 FTF in the first two clips. Last time I bought any Remington ammo.

Use mostly CCI or Federal but recently bought a 100 round box or Remington Golden bullets (round nose) to try as they were on sale for 3.99. Shot about half the box thought the 15-22 and an older Remington 572 fieldmaster. No problems with the ammo. As a matter of fact they were very accurate at 50 yards. I was impressed as the last box of Remington 22lr (thunderbolts) I bought during the shortage were so bad I have them away

I can't remember any duds with CCI standard velocity, mini-mags
or stingers. There are several other loadings of CCI that I haven't tried,
but would think they would be as good as the ones I have shot.

Sounds like the day a bar of soap sank at Proctor& Gamble
1960-1970 era I shot Bullseye Matches. My .22 ammo was Remington Standard Velocity only. Never a misfire.

I have also noticed problems with CCI SV. It seems the newer ammo does not have the same quality control as the older ammo. I have had a few misfires along with low powder charge and some over powder charge. I don’t use CCI SV for competition anymore, just practice. I have found TAC22 to be very reliable and accurate.
I always had good luck with Aguila Super Extra Standard Velocity .22 LR ammo, as an alternative to CCI SV. I've shot a lot of their Match Rifle and Match Pistol ammo, as well. I found it very reliable and accurate. It was economical.
A few years ago I had several boxes of Winchester .22. It was the stuff in the red plastic box. I had a 90% failure rate in multiple guns. I contacted them, they sent a return label and refunded the purchase price.
I had nothing but problems with Thunderbird fouling barrels. I was able to sell that off during the .22 shortage of a few years ago, but it was junk.

I bought a few thousand rounds of CCI sub sonic's that came in the 100 round plastic cases.
Had one 100 round case that had about a 6 or 7 rounds that wouldn't fire.
All the rest were fine, and I still only buy CCI SV or sub's. Their the cleanest I've found so far to shoot suppressed.
I've always kept an obscene amount of 22 ammo on hand, and 95% of it is all CCI. Only had a problem that one time with that one box.

So if the USA ammo is bad...............
what do the other country's use for the gold medals ?
Do they have magic .22 ammo ?

Nevada- it is pretty much gospel that European made .22 ammo is superior in every way to anything domestically made. I will agree cci is the best domestic produced .22 ammo ( not that Remington Winchester or federal set the bar very high) but the higher grade European ammo ( priced double to triple or more the cost of American .22 ammo) is far more consistent accurate and reliable.
When I shoot steel challenge I pick up rounds that other shooters drop due to malfunction and out of every 10 picked up only one or none will be cci. Federal Winchester Remington about equal amounts. I pick them all up and by the end of the match will usually end up with near
Y a whole box of ammo I burn up in a revolver

They most likely are using Eley Tenex, RWS R100/R50, etc.
Why? Because it wins. Tenex is in the winners circle more than all others combined.
Winchester MK III/IV was great ammo, as was Remington's 6600 and Federal UM-1/900.......so the US at one time did make premium ammo, and then discontinued it probably because not enough was sold to justify it.

Mostly Lapua(Midas) and Eley(TenX). And yes. They are far better than any American ammo I tried(old Winchesters were great too but not anymore).
Thank goodness someone brought back this issue. Sounds serious!
