Regardless of the process, the Remington bulk stuff is crap.
I’ve had about 1/12 of the rounds misfire.
Federal works GREAT.

I originally bought a Remington 597 and a box of Remington Cyclone .22lr. I ran six magazine's-worth (10-round magazine) through it with six failures-to-fire. 10%. Not acceptable. I traded the 597 toward a new Ruger 10/22 and bought some Federal ammo. Went to an Appleseed event and went through an entire 550-round box of Federal with two f-t-f. I've since put nearly another box of Federal through the 10/22 and have yet to experience another f-t-f. That means two out of nearly 1,100 rounds. Good stuff, indeed.
I'm not sure if it was the Remington 597 itself or the Cyclone ammo, but after seeing several recalls of Remington ammo and some remington firearms in Guns & Ammo and other places, I'm glad I got rid of the 597 and switched to Federal.
