I’ve been buying .22 ammo since I was ten in 1968.PlumHollow » 08 Sep 2023, 8:48 pm » wrote: ↑ So, when I said "any thoughts?" you really didn't have one. You can't actually believe this weirdo crap can you? Since the 90's and before. It used to come in little milk carton type containers. What happened in the 90's that changed .22 containers for you? Are you just messing with the thread?
I still have a Remington Peters can of bullets (long ago all shot up and replaced with leftovers) from about 1979 that might have been the first “bulk” marketing of .22 ammo loose in a box. It was a special run.
Sometime in the late 80s Walmart started selling plastic tubs of Remington .22 Thunderbolt ammo. It was pure ****.
By the 90s all three majors, Winchester, Remington and Federal were peddling bulk packaged ammo, and until Obama it wasn’t bad.
Since Obama they can and do sell anything that usually goes bang in bulk boxes, down from 550 to 375 rounds, to keep the price down.
If you want reliable ammo buy the $10 a box of fifty stuff.
Otherwise, it’s not your gun, the ammo isn’t old, it’s ****.
