I bought a ton of those at Wally World when they were $19.99 before Obozo. The grandkids love them. They could shoot all they wanted. I still have a fair amount left and a bunch of Federals.

That's very good offhand at 30 yards even under better conditions, Mark. Offhand is a whole different game than shooting from a rest and it takes regular practice to stay at your best.
I must say, I really took my time on each shot, despite the conditions.
I expected they would all look like that one flyer at the top. Must have been when a bee almost landed on my face! :shock:
Actually, I might have done better if I did NOT take as much time. Seems like the longer I hold on the target, the more I start shaking. Have to then lower the rifle, rest and then try again.
That's exactly the thing to do, rather than hold too long, though you don't want to rush it or snap shoot, either. Good for you.

If they are anything like Remington Thunderbolts they are junk. In most my 22 they will foul the barrel and in my S&W M&P 15-22 they leave so much lead in the chamber that after 20-30 rounds, group size is 6" at 25 yds.

Mark, I have some of that ammo here, I will try them in my older H100 later today and will post my results.
But I'm not that much of an offhand shooter, ok?

Offhand? That's not bad considering the bees and all. I'd take it.

Mark, those look better than some of my shooting today. I have some of those Rem Golden Bullets left. Work ok in my 39A, but, would jam now and again in my son's 10/22. .22 ammo can be finicky. You did good Mark.

Thanks Tom! That means a lot.
Maybe the CCI's , which I will try next, / or me, will perform better, next time out.🙄
