they are good trap dispatch rounds but head shooting a squirrel consistently at 40 is pretty iffy

I tried a few different bullets i had on hand with my ruger 22/45. The thunderbolts did as good or better than the winchesters and cci's (minimag and standard velocity) that i had on hand. They fed and cycled well and grouped just as good as the cci's. I am now using federal auto-match, i havent shot them for groups but they sure cycle well and have been accurate for my dispatch needs. The cci standard velocity wasnt all that impressive and had quite a few cycling problems with my pistol even though they get rave reviews everywhere.

I just ordered two boxes. I didn't really need them and shipping was a bit salty but still a good deal. Thanks for the heads up.

Goldens yes, thunderbolts no.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Thnderbolts work. Yes there are better brands but I wouldn't be afraid of getting them if I needed them. That is a good deal.

If you have a Dunhams nearby, they sell 2 boxes for $30 to $32 often and you nix shipping costs and waiting.
