Complaints of misfires with Remington rimfire ammo have gone away.
Nice.
My problem with the subsonic rounds is about 1/2 fail to eject.
Will We see
Bricks of New
.22 Subsonic on shelves
any time Soon?
This sounds promising. Where is this ammo available? I saw a lot of empty shelves the last time I went shopping.
It always been the right equipment. Well scoped 10 22 with supressor and subsonic rounds. Nothing to dispel a rioting mob better than dropping a few of them from 200 meters away.
worked in my MK II as well
The complaint has gone away because people aren’t fool enough to continue wasting money on Remington ammo. I, for one, will never buy it again; and, my misfires have dropped to zero.
I think The were kept from making it for a few years because of destruction in its plant.
Have they Set up to make it again? I really want that item for my training on competion again.
Where can I find the information on this bullet?
I’m surprised (not) the LEFT isn’t making suppressors mandatory! You would think they would follow all the OSHA (lefty) guidelines for sound and noise making it a law to surpress unnecessary noise.
Will they be gummy like the “Golden Bullet” by Remington? For now i will stick with Fiocchi that my suppressors love...
I think I got most of my stash before the misfires became an issue.
Lower velocity loads generate less force than higher velocity loads using the same weight bullet. So a 40-gr load that gets 900 fps MV creates less force for the action to harvest than one that gets 1400 fps MV from the same bullet 40-gr bullet. It’s called “physics.”
Blowback-operated guns come from the factory with a combination of bolt weight and recoil spring strength calibrated to provide just the right amount of resistance to movement so the spent casing doesn’t begin to get extracted until chamber pressure has fallen off enough that the brass doesn’t split when its expansion is no longer confined by the firing chamber. Manufacturers don’t necessarily take into consideration that the user might choose to shoot subsonic loads because that could compromise the ability to cycle safely with “high-velocity” loads, and far more shooters are looking for the words “High Velocity” on the box than are looking to buy “Subsonic” ammunition.
So it isn’t unheard of to have to switch to a lighter-weight recoil spring to get a semi-automatic .22 to cycle reliably when you’re shooting subsonics. You could also grind some weight off the bolt to get the same effect but that would be an irreversible change.
I am totally soured on Remington Rimfire ammo and will not buy it. Anyone who experienced as many misfires as I has got to have the same reluctance to purchase their Rimfire products. This explains why they aren’t receiving complaints. Those who shoot a lot and regularly have simply moved on to other manufacturers products. Now I have some bricks of early 90’s GI issue Remington .22 from CMP that seem to shoot just fine despite the age of the ammo. But newer Remington is no longer on my list, even though the availability of big buckets make it tempting.
