Was this recently, or a while back? I've heard that the GB is "new and improved", but have yet to see/shoot it. Maybe they've made a turn for the better.

I have been able to snag a few bricks in the last few months. Almost no difficulties with them now. They've improved to the level of the Federal I shot pre Obama Bullet Bubble II.

Re: Ammo Matters, Noobs Only, Old-Timers Cover Thy Ears

.22s are also especially finicky on their ammo, both for reliability and accuracy. Even pistols/rifles known for eating all types of ammo will have definite preferences for accuracy.

I had a ruger pistol that shot golden bullets like a laser and never jammed but would jam up with thunderbolts, whereas the other ruger pistol liked the really bad Thunderbolts and would jam with the golden bullets. Weird.
