if I am shooting targets for score I want CCI standard velocity 25 to 29 a brick
555 for other stuff been getting the 555 for about 21-23 dollars
thunderbolts , are a dirty ammo even in a bolt action , but I got a few bricks of them that were so dirty the 10/22 would only run for about 70 rounds after a cleaning before it was a jam-o-matic the same gun would run 300+ of the 555 or cci
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

It has never had a single malfunction either. Do I recommend this? NO, but after so long, I've became curious to see how much this gun can take.

You can get 3 Boxes Winchester Xpert Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 36 Grain Lead Hollow Point Box of 500 for $50 shipped to you from Midway as well. Much better ammo than the Thunderbolts IMO. Agree with you about the quality of Thunderbolts, as Ive had around 10% failure rate with them. This was with 3 seperate rifles. Removed the bullet and there was no priming compound.

Storage really does make a difference in 22lr ammunition
I had 2 cases same manufacture date purchased at the same time had very few duds year 1 the ammo was 325 round boxes of federal auto match a case was 3250 round we went from 0-2 duds per box to 7+ duds per box the second year. since we used about 5000 rounds in year one we had about 1500 round to use up the next spring and it was getting almost painful to use if you figure there are 32 ten round magazines in a box of 325 nearly half of all mags had a dud in them
the difference was that they were stored in a tool box in a van for 1 year
22lr ammo is best stored in a controlled humidity and temperature environment. if the ammo is stored in a heated and air conditioned space it is fine in the cardboard boxes or sealed and kept cool like in a basement on a shelf off the floor in ammo cans with good gaskets.

I have been buying the Remington 22 Golden Bullets, $52.00 for 1,400. I have shot two buckets in a S&W snub nose. I have had more dud with cci than the Remingtons and I have shot far less cci. But I agree the bulk ammo is dirty.
