high end .22LR ammo

Post by **North Country Gal** » Fri Dec 07, 2018 1:40 pm

Actually, there was a time, back in the day, when Remington Goldens and, especially, their target 22 LR ammo, was considered higher end stuff. Shot a ton of the Golden Bullets when I was a youngster.

Problem with the Goldens, these last ten years or so, has been the consistency, one box to the next. Most of the time it shoots okay in our 22 LRs, though not as good as other HV ammo like Mini mags or the Federal HV Match. Some batches, though, are pretty bleak. Overall, no better than some bulk ammo like the Automatch as far as accuracy. We bought a bunch of the Goldens during the big rimfire ammo crunch because it was all we could find, sometimes. Need to shoot it up, but now that we can get any kind of 22 LR we want, haven't gotten around to it.

Yes, the SK is very oily/greasy. I know most .22 ammunition is lubricated to some extent, but I think Lapua might have shares in an oil company. I haven't really noticed it to such an extent on any of the other brands I've used, but we probably don't have the same amount of choice here that you do over the other side of the pond.

I have some golden Bullet shorts that are about 20 years old. They are accurate for a HV short.

Good choice with the Norma Tac-22. Accurate, repeatable and priced right. Norma match 22 is suppose to be superior - but I find it is lacking somewhat. If your rifle likes Tac-22 stay with that, Match -22 won't be an improvement. But that's just my opinion.

Just curious but is this the RWS Target .22 you guys/gals are referring to?
