    They were bought by Vista, the company that owns Federal Ammunition, CCI, RCBS, Etc.

    Shootuadeal, as per normal, is correct. I hope that Vista will improve the quality control on their 22 ammo. I sold a ton of those 525 rd golden bullet packs and the common theory at the time was the extra 25 were in there to make up for the duds.😀 Bob

    Bobjudy, I live about 140 miles from the Lonoke factory. I swore off the "Golden" 22 ammo a long time ago when there was 100+ FPS variation in a 50 round box of them. You could actually HEAR the difference when you shot them. CCI Minimags only for me, and am glad I stockpiled them before 2020.

    I bought some of those 525 golden bullet packs on sale for ?14.99 before the insanity started. I have used them to my advantage in trade deals.

    I've had better luck with the Golden Bullet ammo it seems. My go to is CCI for hunting but I've shot a lot of the Remington .22 ammo with good results.

    I've bought Remington rifle ammo and had a different round in the box as in a round loaded with the wrong bullet. I've also bought sabot slugs and had several that didn't have all 4 petals on the sabot and the projectile was setting crooked in the round.

    I bought a 500 rd. case of Remington .38 Special 125 gr. JHP ammo off of GunBroker in 2018. I have only fired one box of it so far but that box had a round of .357 Magnum in it, loaded to the same OAL as the .38s. It would not chamber because of the longer case. Seating a bullet that deep in the case would raise pressure considerably so I pulled the bullet out to the cannelure and it fired in a .357 with no problems.
