good deal I need to pick up some more trap loads

my son has started shooting Tuesday night trap at the club , the retired guy who runs it opens the range at 3:30 so the first shift guys can shoot and bee home and in bed in time to wake up again at 0400

at 19 he can buy ammo , he can buy guns at normal stores ,but I have to buy the ammo at walmart because of their 21 store policy.

if f&f would have some loads at a decent price he would just buy them there, but they haven't had much in a while.

Thunder bolts!? Without a doubt the worst shooting 22ammo I've ever used. Love Remington rifles but won't use ANY rem brand ammo. Fiocchi is my choice

apparently they work for Wolfie , I am with you thunderbolts didn't work well for me but I probably haven't bought any in 25 years either , CCI is my go to

I did end up with some golden bullets during the last shortage and they worked well enough for dispatch for a few years the 10/22 actually ate them well.

2x on cci. But I have shot a ton of federal. I'm also not a fan of Remington ammo. I did buy some when it was available and use it for close range handgun only untill I tried it in my 39a. It shoot well enough that's what it's sighted in for now.

Yeah I'm about to say I hear that from everyone but the last 5 500rd pack have been noting but amazing in my guns especially for the price. @25 if their not trying to print the same ragged hole I have no real use for them. Thunder bolts always did that for me. No clue why . Use the CCI standards now and the guns seem to like them about the same so what can a guy do. At least their always have the little 50rd pack in stock, so I just pick up one every time in in Walmart so I got a decent little supply

Glad someone gets use out of them tbolts! Tried many boxes over the yrs and never satisfied. Cci is normally great ammo but my last large purchase every bullet had a dried drip of access wax on it an unless every bullet was cleared of extra wax they wouldn't cycle in any auto loader. Bad batch I guess

Our shelves are getting better stocked but the prices definitely aren't coming down. Still can't find any 20g slugs around here though.

I had to go into Walmart yesterday and was shocked when I walked past the ammunition. First time I’ve seen it full in 2 years. I bought 3200 rounds of the Federal 22 that’s in your bottom pic.

While I am not a fan of the thunderbolts, the worst I ever shot was the old Federal Lightnings. About 10% wouldn't fire without rotating them and trying again.

I am almost through a 500ct box of Thunderbolts with an issue. I pick up a box anytime I find a deal on them.

CCI 1640 fps hollow point segmented bullet from a Ruger Single Six with a 6.5” barrel. Enough velocity for expansion and segmentation, but no exit.
Very quick and positive results.
