I use to have about the same failure rate with Remington bulk ammo in one of my firearms. The problem was the gun, not the ammo. Detail clean your bolt, and if that fails look for a new firing pin and firing pin spring. You may have a broken/worn firing pin or a weak spring.With the high failure rate I have seen from those brands in the past I don't buy it. When you see 30% or better of ammo from a box fail to fire or cycle properly you stay away. If it works in your items for you.
1000 boxes?? I was happy to see about a dozen at the Walmart on U.S. 31 South yesterday. They were all gone today though.on a related note, I was in Walmart this AM on the way to work and the ammo cabinet looked pre-panic. thousands of rounds (each) of 9, 40, 45, etc. Also saw almost 1,000 CCI standard boxes.
Could the panic be subsiding?

no, 1000 rounds. I edited my post for clarity.
I highly doubt that. It sells easy enough as is. No reason to make a special promotion of it.Most recent rumouir I heard was that the big box shops were hoarding supplies of .22 LR to be released on the Black Friday Sales....

You do realize the door buster specials on Black Friday are all about getting you in the door, right? Seems like dangling affordable and plentiful .22s before gun owners would do a pretty good job of that.
Drives ya crazy doesn't it?
I buy every rd I can and sock it back to keep these hoarders from getting it.
I believe there was a member on here a few years back (he's a shooter now), that claimed to have close to 1,000,000 rounds of .22.
I've never owned a .22lr, and I don't see myself getting one anytime soon. Why pay what I can get 500 rounds of 9mm for it (reloading), plus the headache of not being able to find it?
Was at Dick's in Noblesville yesterday. They had 20+ boxes of Federal 325 bulk packs for $19.99. 1 box per person if anyone is interested.
...assuming you paid on average 5 cents a round and assert you have 237,500 rounds my high school math skills tell me you have over $11,000 in the cost of your .22 inventory...
