Remington Bucket O' Bullets

[@AustralianShootingChannel]

The other bonus is, when you eventually run out of ammo, you get a pretty nice little bucket to use ! Hahahaha

[@timothyprice9064]

I would have to call you optimistic.

[@RyeOnHam]

I like the Golden Bullets. For the price, they work in all of my guns and have decent accuracy. I have some CCI Standard Velocity for shooting suppressed from rifles. I've got a Bucket O' Bullets sitting around from the ammo scare a few years back. Didn't want to break into it at that time.

[@NachoBuster390]

I like this ammo it always shoots well through my semi autos

[@regsparkes6507]

That's what I'd say too!

[@charlesmarais4582]

Hi from South Africa. Bought same bucket locally. For some bizarre reason they remove the stickers from the buckets. From my CZ 452 this ammo shoots very well. About one inch groups at 50 to 60 yards. Very good ammo at a good price.

[@314299]

Sounds like the Remington ammo is a good one for your CZ. I cant imagine why they would remove the stickers from the buckets. Quite odd indeed.

[@regsparkes6507]

This is good ammunition, at least it is for me,..I've been using this for a long time now,..and I can't recall ever having a dud either. I use in in revolvers, pistols and semi auto rifles and of course in my bolt action rifles, all with satisfactory shooting fun. It's not the only ammo. I shoot with, but it is the one I have the most of.

[@sylvainster30]

I got this same model rifle thanks to your review a few years ago! Trigger is amazing and the quality is awesome! ✌🏼😎👍🏼

[@314299]

Mine is my most used .22 as it is just such an accurate rifle.

Nice rifle, I like barrels that have the forge marking on them like that.

[@314299]

Yeah, it's a nice look.

[@j.mcq.8418]

I bought a bucket of this stuff as an experiment and given that I paid full price it was more expensive than bulk CCI Standard Velocity. Also, there were about the same amount of malfunctions as you report (2%-4%). I have fired thousands of rounds of the CCI SV and I don't think I've had a single malfunction. It was not as accurate for me as the CCI SV and it is very dirty. If I could get a bucket for $35C I might think about it but otherwise for me it has no advantages over the CCI SV.

[@314299]

I certainly would pick CCI standard velocity over this stuff if accuracy were the only criteria, however not all semi's work reliably with standard velocity ammo as they are set up for high velocity ammo. I was not aware that CCI sold their Standard Velocity load in a bulk package, all I have ever seen was in 50 round boxes.

[@j.mcq.8418]

314299 Shooting Channel Serious bulk (5000 rounds). But in 10 boxes of 500 rounds each with ten boxes of 50 rounds

[@Tron2pointOh]

The crimp in these Remington bullets are not correct. You can actually spin the bullets on about 1/3 of them because they're so loose. Not good for long term storage. I find a lot of duds after stored for 3 years probably due to humidity being able to seep in through the loose heads. This does not occur with Winchester or Federal bulk.

[@314299]

The loose bullets do not inspire confidence however they shot much better than I had expected them to. As for storage the ammo comes in a plastic bucket that is airtight when the lid is on. My personal experience with this ammo has not shown any increase in "duds" after several years of storage.

[@nedrain9044]

I don't like the loose heads either. It's annoying to find loose bullets and powder in the bottom of the box! I've always shot mine up before encountering any storage problems though, and they do shoot well. But Federal would be my first choice.

[@smallbore7025]

I have a box of 525 Remington .22 shell's. They are loose and wobble. No misfires halfway through the box. I'm hitting at a little over an inch at 25 yard's.

[@thomaspondysh957]

I've been having bad luck with a variety of rimfire ammo lately. On the bad list are Armscor USA .22WMR, Winchester, silver label plastic box of 100 .22lr, both of which left bullets lodged in the barrel that I had to poke out with my cleaning rod. Other poor quality stuff includes Aguila, and yes, Remington Bucket O' Bullets, which I can't get a normal .22 "crack" 10 shots in a row with. I had to poke 3 Armscor bullets out of the barrel before I had gone through half of a box of 50. I threw the rest of the box away.

[@jakeoutdoors9600]

I just got a case of 5000 22lr mini mags but I may get a case of this stuff too. It is decent ammunition. Better deals when buying by the case.

[@slowhand1198]

When my niece gets hold of my 10-22 and the piggy back 25 round mags, even a bucket like this is in peril of running dry.

[@travisberard6644]

Get a crank for your 10-22 it's a wast of ammo but fun

[@PetuniaIii-pd1ww]

We primarily use lever and single action .22's to slow down our ammo consumption...we have been able to maintain a decent amount of 'take to the range' ammo as the ammo crunch has eased a little bit, able to replace what we shoot...the price for bulk has gone up, we paying 6.1 to 9.9 cents a round, but that is still an arm and a leg cheaper than any of our larger calibers...

[@NayokeHenji]

I never thought I'd be considering buying .22lr for $200, 1400rds. I should have bought every box back when Walmart was selling it for $20 for 550

[@314299]

You are not alone in feeling that way.

[@chevy6299]

Golden Bullets always shoot good for me but I buy then by the 100 in the plastic box. Not sure they are the same thing but both say Golden Bullet on them.

[@PetuniaIii-pd1ww]

I paid about 89.00 for this bucket at Dunham's I think it was January '21...the apex of the ammo crunch...haven't opened it yet...we shot a brick of golden bullets over the past couple years...my only complaint is the ammo seemed just plain dirty, got whatever the stuff is all over my hands...elsewise it shot fine...only a few bad rounds...it wasn't perfect, but in our lcp ll it ran better than our federal or aguila bulk ammo...in our lever and single action weapons just the rare bad round...for bulk ammo I'd say we would buy the golden bullets again...

[@314299]

That does not seem like a terrible price, especially at the moment. I rather liked this stuff and hope someday to get more.

[@mwmwmwmwmmdw]

remington seems to make decent ammo. too bad i cant same the same for their modern firearms

[@stevekatz4372]

I just purchased Remington's 1400 Bucket of Bullets and just for the hell of it, I decided to count them! My Wife said, "What are you Crazy?" and I used a CCI Mini Mag empty 100 round container and filled it up 1400 times and oit was 5 rounds short of the 1400, Ha Ha Ha! Great way to Increase their Profit Margin! I just hope they work well in my Kel-Tec, Beretta and Rossi Firearms!

[@314299]

I expect they are packaged by weight rather than by count. Only five off is pretty close, you got 99.642% of what was paid for, would have been nicer to get 1405 instead...

[@wildcat8598]

For anyone who’s ever bought a bucket of these, does the bucket come sealed in some way? Found a guy who has some and don’t feel like counting out 1400 rds and was seeing if they are sealed and that way I’d be able to tell if they’ve been opened or not?

[@314299]

I think the bucket lid has a tear off bit on the bottom that you have to remove in order to open the container.

I'm not sure, however, I think this video is a reuploaded one. doesn't matter, funny thing, I shot a lot of that remington golden bullet ammo and had better than average results in bullseye pistol league shooting (In my ruger Mk-2 pistols). I only shoot standard velocity in my higher grade guns to save ware and tare on the springs and reduce cycle ware on them (High Standard, Smith-41) I used to have a Hammerli P-215 that some dude shot high velocity in it, he developed a crack in the slide, I got a really good deal on that gun and sent it back to Hammeli for repair. I shot that for many years.-Dave

[@314299]

Yes, this is "re edited" material, now approved by the YT types with the addition of the opening "disclaimer". I had rather low expectations for this ammo, especially as I bought this as opened container at a gun show. It did much better than I thought it would. I have only one .22lr target pistol (a Margolin MCM) and I've been told that shooting high velocity stuff in it is unwise as it will cause damage.

FYI on these. Today is 6/23/22 Paid $86 plus tax at Walmart today. For the 1400 round bucket. I've shot a lot of these over the years. They have a pretty good punch. Much better than Winchester white box 333 or 555 bulk packs. Or that Federal automatch stuff which is just garbage! All my semi autos, both pistols and rifles run them fine! I would stop short of saying there mini mag good, however. But unbeatable for the price!

[@314299]

Thanks for the price update, that's actually a decent price. I should try some of the Federal Automatch to see if it's really as bad as I've heard.

[@ajossi]

I just bought this from Cabela's about a week ago and it only has about 1,297. Does anybody know if Remington will hook me up with another 100 rounds or should I take it back to Cabela's?

[@314299]

I would contact Remington first to see what they will do for you.

[@yevgenz]

Nice results for 100 yards. My semiauto TOZ - 99 likes such ammo, somehow they group better than target rounds. Lately I have had to pay 1200 hryvnyas = 50 USD for a box of 525 of Federal Champions ( 36 gr ).

[@314299]

High velocity .22 LR will often group better at 100 yards/meters than standard velocity. However at 50 the standard velocity generally shoots better. That is fairly expensive for a bulk box of .22 ammo.

This is the worst 22 lr ammo I've ever used. After thinking it was a good deal, I was brought back to reality by stoppages & jams. I thought it was the rifle and tried a few others with the same results. It's ok if using it in a bolt action or lever action. I'm a fan of 22s and won't buy this stuff again, I'll spend the extra$ and get another brand. I'm finding the Aguila to be a good ammo in all types they sell.

[@314299]

I think what often gives people grief with this ammo is that they often have bullets that are loose after crimping, and that leads to feed issues in many semi's. I had low expectations when I got this stuff but my experience with this lot was a lot better than expected, having said that I am sure there were lots of it that were not as good, such as what you had.
