    Last time I bought their ammo, it was a box of Thunderbolt .22lr And half of them were duds! I was like "never again."

    So if the new management can focus on QC and make good ammo, they might be able to salvage the name. People are desperate for ammo so they'll buy everything they put out. Now is the chance for them to shine.

    I always have better luck with the copper plated vs lead in rimfire calibers. Scuttlebutt says the rimfire are more susceptible to contamination from lube and the lead require a dab more lube vs. plated.

    No idea if that's 100% accurate, but it seems plausible.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    It's plausible, but when I would use like CCI, I wouldn't get these problems. Maybe 1 or 2 duds in an entire brick.

    Anyways, here's to hoping the new crew, the new management and new equipment make for some good ammo!
