.22 Ammunitiion is slowly becomming more available

They're all accurate. Every one I shoot goes precisely through its own hole in the target.

What happens if you miss the target?:laughing:

We saw Remington .22's yesterday 500/$38.00 and he had lots of them.

Not bad considering six months ago "any brand" was $60.00/brick if you could find any at all.I have seen them sell last year at a gun show for $100.00.

I still haven't bought any myself,last brick was $18.00 maybe six years ago.

i can remember 1k bricks at kmart for 9.99 ys ago.... sigh... and I didn't buy them much then cuz I thought they were a tad spendy.

All the gun stores have them.. They are much higher than the price I saw at Field & Stream

That is interesting. I have experienced more duds with Remington than any other brand. Winchesters have always worked well for me. Can't comment on Federal--quit buying that years ago when all their ammo that I tried left the bores dirtier than any other brand.

Were you shooting the bucket of bullets? Those are pretty bad.

Remington thunder t***s have always shot well for me, but get my gun very dirty. Its quite noticeable. I shoot them in a pistol quite often. And man is that gun dirty after a box of 50.

Why would subsonic be more accurate?

The reason for increased accuracy for subsonic bullets is the matter of drag and disturbance when the bullet is at "trans-sonic velocities". At speeds around the mach (1100fps or so) the drag of any projectile is higher than at subsonic, as well as super sonic velocities (>1300fps)

These rapid changes result in additional disruptive influences on the bullets stability. Call it "shock wave separation if you want. It's like that.

At any rate, subsonics can fly pretty straight. as can bullets that go out and stay super sonic. Such as 99% of all center fires.

Pistols on the other hand suffer through these velocity issues acceptably because of the typical short range application.

Not sure--they were probably the cheapest I could find.
