[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 2114500, member: 38048"] Thunder bolts are about the cheapest crapola you can get. I got lucky and my gun likes them. No fliers yet either. My ruger 77/22 shoots the win wildcat under 1/2 at 50. It’s crapola too. The r-50 is Rws and I have had good luck with it and r-100. Eley is definitely the best stuff you can buy as is the lapua but it’s scare right now. All the match ammo I’ve ever seen is pure lead with slippery lube on them. Eley is hard to hold onto putting it in magazines. The rws is not slippery at all for some reason. And yes cutting extractor slots is not enjoyable. But you do what you got to do to make them work. I would much rather do center fires than rimfire any day. In my 30 yrs of smithing I’ve only done a handful of rimfire rifles. Rimfire world is crazy making stuff to me. Constantly evolving and I can’t keep up with all of it. Chasing lot numbers. Heck right now it’s just can you find a brick of anything to shoot. Between China and Democrats my world has pretty much been turned upside down. I’m sure it has for many on this site and I don’t see it getting better any time soon. Just keep plinking away and do what you can. shep [/QUOTE]
