Rimfire ammunition should be evaluated for reliability and accuracy in any given firearm, especially semi-autos. I have many semi-auto rimfire pistols and rifles and each has it's own preferred ammo. I test them all with several brands and velocities for reliability and accuracy. I even test them with subsonic and CB rounds. I've found the only universally reliable .22 LR ammo for my semi-auto's is CCI, but it's not always the most accurate. I do not use hyper-velocity in my semi-autos. If I didn't already have a lot of .22 LR on hand I'd buy some of this stuff.

I agree, that’s a fantastic price, and even if it isn’t 100% reliable in a given gun, you can afford some duds at that price. I was just addressing WTR's concern about ammo for semiautos. Sorry if I hijacked the thread. I didn’t mean to.

Not to worry, TAM. I didn't intend it as a specific address to your post or WTR's , only a caveat should anyone think I was promoting this ammo other than the price. I probably could have omitted the dissertation on selecting ammo for your .22 firearm, but I couldn't resist. I love .22 firearms (LOL, I have way too many) and so often I see complaints about this gun or that not being accurate or having malfunctions (especially semi autos) when in reality it's often the particular ammunition being used. (none of my Buckmark pistols like Federal American Eagle .22, but they shoot the CMP Rem standard velocity just fine) I googled the Thunderbolt .22LR; it has mixed reviews, but I see mixed reviews on other .22LR ammo, too. You gotta find the dinner your gun is hungry for. I ended up buying some of this ammo anyway and I'll probably donate it to my shooting club.

Natchez Shooter's Supply has Remington Thunderbolt .22LR ammo for $144.99/5000 rounds (2.89 cents per round). Free shipping! I don't know if they collect tax. I don't shoot much Remington ammo, but I bought 10,000 rounds of their standard velocity .22LR ammo from the CMP a few years back. I've shot it in several semi-auto rifles and pistols with no complaints even though it was extremely inexpensive. I gave most of it away to my son-in-laws since I have a lot of CCI .22LR They have other deals on Remington ammo as well. Deal expires midnight 7-7-19.
