[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2114422, member: 115658"] R50 ? is that RWS ammo? I had some RWS ammo some time ago and it did very well but now it is gone. Rem Thunderbolts I have not tried yet but I guess they are real cheap. I paid less than $300 for my 77/22, used, and a nice gunsmith put this Douglas barrel on it that he had sitting around for 3-5 years for $150 (less WA sales tax) years ago. He said cutting the two extractor slots in the barrel to match the extractor(s) on the bolt was a chore. I tried some CCI standard velocity before it got real cold here but at under 30* and was back at 1/2 inch with cold bore & ammo - I guess my casual & quick barrel cleaning (Gunslick foam, patches, motor oil (surfacant) soaked nylon brush then patches) and inspections were adequate. I don't like paying more than $5 per 50 for .22's and now Rem Thunderbolts will be considered. Is all the high price match .22 LR ammo plain lead, not copper plated/wash? Inspecting copper covered bullets shows them to be covered with many tiny dings & dents. Might this affect consistency/accuracy? Are Rem Thunderbolts copper plated? [/QUOTE]
