[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 771071, member: 39764"] Interesting comment. I see I'm not alone in that scenario. I normally shoot Wolf Match Extra (Vitavouri powder, Eley Primed) in 50 foot indoor competition (The only wolf I shoot BTW and not to be confused with thw cheap wolf ammo in larger calibers because this is not cheap ammo by any means) and someone gave me a 20 box of Remington 22 LR's at the range to try and the first 2 went fine. The third cartrdge was a squib and the bullet never cleared the barrel. I didnt have to take the gun to a smith, I just used a brass pistol cleaning rod and a small brass hammer and drove the bullet out the chamber end. No problems with the barrel or rifling. I'll never try any 'gift' ammunition again. My march 22 target pistols are way too expensive for those bargain basement cartridges. I also notice that shooters that use Remmy and Winchester 22's at the range commonly have a number of duds in any given box. Stuff is junk IMO. [/QUOTE]
