The Remington Golden Bullet 22LR ammo functions in revolvers and bolt action rifles. In semi auto's it tends to provides a high percentage of ignition failures.
remington golden bullets?

The M&P 15-22 is a plinker and not a target grade rifle so precise accuracy to me is of little concern. If I can keep all of my rounds in a 4-5 inch paper plate size circle I'm happy. Load 10-15 mags with GBs and go have fun. Come home and clean your rifle and do it again tomorrow.
Tomorrow add your M&P .22 Pistol and blow through some more GBs.
I've done it that way for the last year with my 10yo son at my side sharing in the fun with no problems.
When I care about accuracy I will take my duty weapon to the range at the county's expense.

Not in my experience. They feed through all my semi-autos without any particular problem. This goes for both pistols and rifles.

Ran another 350 rounds of GB yesterday without a single failure. I also ran 80 rounds of Aguila and had one failure to fire.

Ran another 500 rounds through the 15-22 today and had many failures to feed. New 1400rd bucket seemed dryer and cleaner than normal. When loading the mags the rounds didn't seem to angle up but I loaded them anyway. When I inserted the mag and pulled the bolt back I could see that there was no round lined up to be fead until I tapped the bottom of the mag. My thoughts are that after 3,000 rounds maybe the mags need to be cleaned. Can anybody relate to this?

I have had a few issues with the Rem GBs. I have found that with a clean gun I can cycle up to three mags full with no problem and then I start getting feeding issues from the magazines. So while I kept one 525 Rd box I sold the 1400 rd BOB to one of my buddies.
I previously had issues with the Remington ammo in my Rem 597, and the opinion on that forum was that most would not run Rem ammo thru their Rem .22 firearms.

Well I shot about 150rds of them today and did not have one malfunction. Accuracy seemed to suffer compared to Federals/Aguilas I normally use but that could've been me, or my 30 dollar red dot which may be reaching the end of it's life after 500-600 rounds it wasn't wanting to stay illuminated today and I was having a hard time getting it re-zeroed. Ammo was dirty as hell like all others have said. When I got home and took it apart it looked like 500rds had gone through it, but it was only 150... But no malfunctions, cycled very smooth so I have no problem continuing to use it if I can't find anything else.
I ran 100 or so rounds through my 617 at a pin shoot Sunday and had one round that wouldn't fire. Retried the round and it didn't go off the second time either. These were the new and improved and I didn't have any weak sounding reports like I did with the older version.

A friend of mine bought a 15-22 on Friday and we went and found some 22lr at Cabela's Saturday morning. All they had were 100 round boxes of remington golden bullets. We fired 200 rounds of golden bullets, 100 rounds of blazers and 300 rounds of federal auto match. Only problem was one jam with the federal. I'd say that's pretty good.

I've been shooting a bucket o bullets of the GB's, and a lot of the Federal Suppressed .22lr, and they've been flawless. Sorry if this isn't what you've experienced.
I shoot them out of the S&W 25rnd mags, and the Plinker Tactical 30 rounders, no problems.

I shoot golden Bullets, Thunderbolts, whatever, in my 10/22. never had a problem. The attraction to the .22 is that you can shoot alot of rounds for very little money (if you can find the ammo, of course). I only shoot bulk ammo. Never saw the point of spending centerfire money on a rimfire cartridge, so those fancy 50 round boxes of Stingers have never been bought.
All i know is I stick pencils in the dirt at 50 yards and shoot the erasers off of them with my scoped 10/22, and that is using GB or Thunderbolts. The groundhog I killed 3 weeks ago at 40 yards didn't know the difference either.
I am sure the higher end stuff performs better, but my cheap bulk pack stuff is fine. I'm not a competition shooter.

I have to like them!
I have one bucket of bullets (1400 rds) and two 555 value packs My Sig MK 25 22 conversion doesn't like them my Henry will accept them, occasionally a misfire and jam. I found many with loose fitting lead. I don't shoot them very often.
Sig recommends CCI mini's , but try to find them. I have 200 rnds of minis found by shear luck , went in the local Dicks sporting goods store to pick up some targets, and asked the sales girl if they had any 22's, she said let me check in the back, she came out with 2 100 rd packs. I hate to use them up.

They work fine in my 15-22. That's the bullet I prefer.

The ramp seems to be the problem with my Sig 226 conversion after about 50 rounds problems start. a friend of mine with the same gun sent his back to Sig to have the ramp polished, it helped some what I proved it by putting one drop of oil from Hoppes needle oiler on the ramp after each 50 rounds fired, and it will fire all day without failure to chamber. Cleaning the gun regularly and using oil not grease will help too.Good reason to keep the feed ramp clean.
Seriously, polish the feed ramp and that problem will go away. The factory finish looks smooth, but really isn't.
It seems that none coated ammo, bare lead works better

Or the fear of lawyers, which is pretty much the same thing.
I bought my wife a new car on Memorial Day; the main owner's manual is, I kid you not, nearly 2 inches thick, and more than 60% at an estimate is "Warning," "Caution," and "Danger" notes.
Important, little known stuff, like "Gasoline is flammable."
