Yesterday I got to fire several boxes of Remington 22 lr Thunderbolt from my MK III. My pistol nearly jammed every other round, failed to extract the shell, or simply did not fire the chambered round.
I did notice that the Remington rimfires were not consistent in the diameter of their shell casings, some being larger and fatter while others were slimmer. I tried to manually insert the rounds one by one into the chamber and some went in smoothly while others could not even fit into the chamber half way. Others I had to hold open the bolt and pry out the spent shell from the chamber with pliers.
When I got home I did some quick search on Google and I noticed that EVERYBODY is complaining about Remington rimfire ammo, particularly Thunderbolt, being unreliable and dirty.
Is this true? Can anyone confirm this?
