Anyone seen a 22LR do this in a revolver before?
Just looking for answers. Not really sure how this might have happened. Sending it back in for its second "repair". Fired in a S&W 617. Bought brand new in February. Posted this to a number of other sites but have had every vet/pro/enthusiast/expert/"I've shot over 100K 22LR rounds"/etc not know exactly what is causing this. First pick is prior to sending it in the first time. Second pic just happened. All rounds are Remi Golden Bullets. I know I can choose a different ammo. But this is what I have. I don't think guns should have to use a different ammo. But would love to hear other thoughts.

I like the "one blown case damaged the other fired cases, and one unfired round" senerio.
That being the situation.......I would expect the loaded round to NOT have a firing pin indentation.

There is to much primer mixture in the case causing the ammo to detonate rather than a controlled detonation to ignite the powder. I had this happen to me several years ago in some Federal 22 rim fire ammo.
22 rim fire is turned out by the thousands each day on a machine. With out good quality control bad ammo can slip by unnoticed. Only other explanation I could think of would be over sized cylinder chambers some how got passed inspection. Either way, to continue to use that ammo in that gun would be fool hardy.

Yes, I've seen fired 22LR cases that look like that. When I was a kid, I got hold of a Ruger 22 pistol with interchange 22LR and 22WMR cylinders. Being a dumb kid, and against everyone's advice, I just had to see what would happen if I fired 22LR in the Magnum cylinder. They always fired, but it was anybody's guess where the bullets would go, and every fired case was quite damaged, no two cases being damaged in the same fashion.
That said, I will also add that 70+ years of shooting experience has clearly proven to me that Remington does not make good ammunition. My latest experience: A year or so ago during the great ammo shortage, in desperation, I bought some .30-30 Remington ammo simply because it was the only .30-30 ammo around. I fired it in several Winchester 94s that I was testing. Each gun had trouble extracting the fired Remington cases. The diameter of the case rims was the problem, they were all a little undersize so the the extractor didn't bite properly.

Can it be they stamped a 642 with the markings for a 617 by accident? I think the dead giveaway would be the 22 WMR should only hold 7 rounds.

Well, THE dead giveaway would be if a .22 WMR round chambered.

Then you have to go out and buy a box of 22 WMR.

Wouldn't take much asking to borrow one round for two minutes.

I got a GREAT deal on Thunderduds a few years ago............don't use them..........selling and or trading them off.

There are NO great deals on Remington thunder duds......unless you are Remington!!! I wouldn't buy em if they were free!

I believe the OP's post says he used Remington Golden bullets, not Thunderbolts. I know, not much difference.

Things really changed over the years . Remington golden 22s were my bullet of choice for years . Super accurate in my stevens 87a . Still do ok for me. As to the thunder bolts they are ok for shooting tin cans etc at close range .
