I shoot something like 20,000 rounds of .22 LR a year, and I quit using Remington .22 ammo several years ago because of all the problems. I checked where I shoot a lot, and started picking up all the .22 ammo on the ground last year. After about 6 months I looked at all the ammo, found about 80% of it was misfires, rims dented but not fired. Of that ammo, nearly 90% of that was Remington. No wonder no one wants to use that crap any more.

I switched to Winchester bulk for most of my plinking and hardly ever have a problem of any type. Also use CCI some and no problems there either.
