Frankly, thunder bolts are junk. CCI are what you want. You know I hear that alot but just about all my .22's shoot them better then about anything else. Especially my old target.22

Bought the same yellow box in Walmart in Sheridan WY a week and a half ago for 21 bucks. They had CCI Mini mags for ten dollars a hundred.
I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

There is nothing specel about the winchesters that just a 100 year anniversary box. I would buy the cci sv. They shoot great out of all our guns. I have a 20 mm ammo can full of them so im low.
Guess I'll have to pick up a box or two and try them again. Last time I tried em I couldn't get them to shoot well at all for some reason out of most of my guns which is weird because everyone talks about how good they are. For $4 what could it hurt lol

Guess I need to get rid of my Federal bulk packs and invest in the magic CCI now too.

For $4 what could it hurt lol I cant remember when the last time I had a cci misfire. But its common for me witha lot of other brands to have a few. Most any will shoot well enough to head shoot things with except my 11 year olds marlin. That thing is picky.

that is a good price on CCI standard velocity cost was right about 350 last fall on a direct order for the youth shooting sports program from Vista
I like the CCI they are my go to target round for 22lr
the golden bullets from Rem or the Winchester 36gr hollow points fo federal 555 pack 36gr hollow points don't shoot as well for me but work better for coon dispatch nd I don't need much accuracy for the short distance stuff

Regarding 22 ammo. Is it just my imagination, but I don't recall that when I was a kid (1970's) that I had 22 duds after carrying around 22 shells in my seemingly always damp/wet pants pockets. But now, I have lots of duds after 22 shells get wet. Is something different about how they are made now?

But now, I have lots of duds after 22 shells get wet. Is something different about how they are made now? I think they used to have more wax/lube that helped to seal them up I have wondered about taking a small pot of warm bullet lube and dipping the bullet in just past the bullet case connection then setting it in a tray to drip and cool if that might help might lead to more chamber cleaning also it would take a lot to get a good test base I also load most of my walking around ammo in a spare mag these days and carry the spare mag in a shirt pocket so I don't have much of an issue myself
