I tried out my new/used Mark II using the Remington .22 550 rds. from Wal-mart. Out of 100 rounds used, I had six duds, and one case slit into pieces. Has anyone had a similar experience. I ran different ammo through it the next day, and had no problems.
yeah they are hit and miss - I have had good luck with them so far but may have gotten lucky and a good pack lots of people have weapons that don't like them
I run em thru my Winchester 290 and have about 1 or 2 failures every fourth or fifth tube full of rounds. Thats approx 1 or 2 bad ones every 60-75 rounds. Not good. But theyre cheap and plentiful.
ya the gold rounds are bad i have two guns and neither of them like that kind, lots of miss loads, mine splits the lead in two.....
do a search... this is a reoccurring failure problem with bulk .22 gold bullets from Walmart.
last brick of gold bullets had 45+ duds... current brick has no failures so far. go figure... my conclusion, right or wrong is problems is batch dependent.
called walmart ... manager promised to called back when Federal bulk comes in to trade out. never heard back from them again...
dirt cheap bullets... perfect for plinking.... a few duds is of little consequence. would not use for hunting... got a few bricks of high grade .22lr for that.

Have not tried them recently just because of so many people reporting problems.
I stick to Federal, Winchester and CCI bulk...so far with perfect luck.

My buddy just emailed me this information
He was having the same problem. He sent a partial box back as well as the duds and got a check.

That's correct Remington will send you a coupon for more Remington Ammo.
I think most people use the coupon on something besides more Rem. gold bullets.
Plus I'm not sure but think it doesn't refund for the shipping cost.
So it might be a wash.
Unfortunately they can't send a coupon to replace the crappy experience you had at the range with a good one.
