In my .22's the TB's are highly inaccurate.  They don't feed in at least one rifle.  Guess that's why I still have a few 20 year old boxes of them.   Now the Federal Lightening will hold its own against any brand of ammo that I've used.  Found a few bricks at the Gun Show lately. ;D

I have 2 new bricks of Thunderbolts sitting on the shelf. It seems that some of the one's that were real problems were many years old, so I need to take my new ones out for a range test. Thanks, I was looking for good reason to make a special trip to the range. ;D

Thunderduds......Indeed. It is the worst ammo I have ever fired out of a .22. Aside from misfires and feed problems, I think the main thing that concerned me were the varying sounds that emmitted from the rifle/pistol when I was using them........ ??? I have a few rifles and handguns in .22 and I have to say CCI Blazer is a good buy when it comes to .22! It feeds and is accurate in ALL of my rimfires.

A lady had some Remington standard velocity.  I took four boxes to dispose of for her.  I fired a box through my pistol without a misfire.

I remember buying this type of ammo years ago when I was a kid.  The box is green and white with the trademark kleanbore.  I wish I had a couple bricks of this stuff.
