I just came up with the perfect combo. A rifle with a crossbow attached!
Patent pending.

Rem rimfire is like asking for a headache. I feel bad giving the stuff away.
That said, thunderbolts work in my 10/22 no problem. Golden bullets work 90% in my 10/22. Neither work worth a damn in my other .22’s so it’s worthless to me. Fed & CCI for me.
If you are.....I am too.
40 grain .22 always cycles better for me than 36 grain.

My son and his girlfriend blew through both boxes of that .22 ammo. Never had an issue with the Federal or the Remington.
The rifle never skipped a beat. Not sure if the ammo was 36 grain or 40. One box was HP and one was FMJ. Both boxes are now in a dumpster so I can't post the weights.
Edit: The box of Federal was round nose. I'm not sure about the Remington because I never looked at it closely.
Doesn't matter though. They shot all of it without a single malfunction.

The Federal Auto Match is 40 grain. The Remington Golden Bullet is 36 grain. My CZ actually shoots the Fed Auto Match pretty well. It'll ring a 20x30 steel plate consistently at 500 yards using them (91 MOA dial-up over a 25 MOA base). That extra 150 feet per second muzzle velocity really extends their effective range.
A couple of other really good standard velocity rounds that you can get in bulk for a reasonable price are Geco (semi auto optimized) and CMP Standard by Eley.
