Picked up a box of Remington 500 rds. bulk packed. 90% of them will not chamber in any of my handguns and rifles. Must be seconds. Worthless! Any other having same?
That's a little vague. Remington what?Picked up a box of Remington 500 rds. bulk packed.
If talking about thunderbolts then yes ?
Let's stop & try to remember that the Remington ammo made now is by a different company in a different facility than it was just a few years ago...
I haven't bought any in a while but a little over a decade ago I shot up somewhere between 20K and 25K of the Goldens (when they were about 2c a shot at Walmart). I experienced a VERY consistent "dud rate" of one to two percent (i.e., five to ten in a box of 550). I quickly learned not to waste time with a second strike on the duds--there was NO primer in them anywhere.I love Golden Bullets. My last Bucket O Bullets had 1420 rounds in it. Of those 1420, only 4 did not go bang on the first strike in one of my Mark IIs. Of those 4, 3 went bang on a second strike, and the last went bang on a third strike.

They were the Golden Bullets. Oversize. Will not chamber in my Smith 17, as well as other handguns I have. Rifles even worse. Also had a box of Thunder Bolts. They are much better. Only a few now and then are little tight to chamber.
