- In this video, I take a closer look at an older batch of Remington Target .22LR ammunition. Originally rated at around 1150 feet per second, I was surprised to find that it actually clocked in at over 1200 feet per second during my testing. This ammo features a 40-grain round nose bullet with a thin wax coating for lubrication and comes in packs of 100 rounds. I believe this ammo is 30-40 years old. Mayde you know more excact?
I conducted the test using myBergara B14R, equipped with a MDT Oryx rifle stock and a Meopta Optika 6 scope with 5-30x56 magnification.

When I was a kid, that ammo was too expensive. Used winchester hvhp. I really like what you are doing nowadays! Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you! winchester is a little hard to find in scandinavia. The little we get is usually made in Australia.
Really cool to see how old ammunition is performing
I have some old polish ammo that are really good. SD of 8! I tested them in my old Tikka, maybe I sholud do a retest?
When you test ammo, that's poor for accuracy in the Bergara it would be interesting to see if your Tika is any better with that ammo. Great unique channel, i look forward to each session. 😊
Hi! I might do another test with the Tikka. Maybe it will perform better(albeit I doubt it).
@thegunviking Yes Viking, it's always been ordinary ammo. It would be interesting to see if different ammos are any different in either rifle. 😊😊
I have some of this that is a couple years old. I was doing a Remington comparison video with their new Golden Hunter Improved Performance ammo 😂😅 with their new rimfire technology 😂😅🤣
I shot some of the target, and the rim exploded in the chamber of one of the rounds!! 😮😳☠️ it was insane!
Thanks for sharing!
That happened to me once. It blew the magazine into several pieces. It was a little scary. No physical inury, thank god. Thanks for sharing
@thegunviking wow! That is crazy. I had no damage to anything, it just smoked like crazy and turned everything black. The smell was horribly foul also.
I am very glad it did not blow my magazine into pieces!
I like your testing of the remington target ammo I do not recall ever trying it only gold hollow points and yellow jackets they worked well on small game for me
It was ok for plinking, but they should not be called Target
@@thegunviking thank you for your reply
In the 50’s and 60’s Remington and Winchester were making good ammo with Winchester extending that to the 1980’s. Then Federal started making better 22lr ammo. Today no US manufacturer is making anything I would consider much above plinking ammo.
It`s a shame that no US manufacturers can make a decent match cartridge. But you are correct, there is nothing made in the US that will win a major match. I hope this will change, but I`m not optimistic.
My experience is the same.Sadly . Still have a Brick of that stuff too
Lucky you, I have two bricks...
Glad to see Remington rimfire has always been bad.
I wish they could make a good target cartridge, but maybe the competition is to hard from the european competitors? Or it isn`t possible on their existing machinery?
@@thegunviking
I wish that there was a better explanation, but the truth is that Remington, Winchester and Federal can't be bothered with quality control. Like a lot of US companies in recent years, all they care about is absolute maximum profit. Which is why so much of it is sold in bulk boxes and buckets. They have the machinery and ability to make something better, they just don't want to. More profit to be had in selling buckets of point and blast ammo. Remington and Winchester both went bankrupt as firearm manufacturers as well. They exist in largely a ghost or shell form today, but the ammo portions are still up and running. Both of them used to produce quality firearms. Many well renowned arms, but like so many other US manufacturers the call of maximum profits meant increasingly bad quality and low cost materials. It has also happened to our cars and other industries. They played that game and lost. I totally understand businesses have to make a profit, and want them to be able to make a profit to stay in business, but when you sacrifice quality to maximize profits you run this risk. Winchester and Remington both become purveyors of garbage firearms. The ammo portions of the companies largely followed suit. Especially the rimfire lines. A lot of Winchester centerfire ammo has been recalled in recent years. A lot of the European target and match ammo sells out pretty quickly here, even at a higher price. There is a market here for quality 22lr. They aren't interested in making it. The profit/work ratio is too low to interest them. So bucket o' bullets is what we get.
In my experience that Remington target stuff was always pretty poor. But I didn't know it was running those kinds of velocities.
They were in a hurry, thats for sure. Target ammo is usuall much slower than that.
Don't know much about Rem. ammo other than the fact that my results aren't quite as good as yours!😅
I have some Win. Super X that's about 20 years old, and it does seem to shoot better!
They make em in lead? Ones I been getting are copper ones. Don't forget about your Mark IV too.
I haven`t seen the Target copperplated, at least not here in Norway. Manufacturers brand their ammo different for different markets, something that can be a bit confusing.
Never did like Remington´s products. The only exception being their FMJ rifle ammo, which works well in some rifles. Their 22lr has always been crap, like their rifles 😄
The centerfire is certainly better.
Ser ut som at Remington har holdt samme dårlige kvalitet i lr amo siden starten....
Ja, de var nok aldri bra. Det var vel heller det at når jeg var guttunge så var alt som smalt toppers😀
hvilken afstand... 50 meter eller 50 yds ?..darligt grupper med Remington target her ogsa ..i gamle target eller nu ammo fra i dagen produk line herovre .
Det er 50 yards. De fleste som ser på video som jeg lager er amerikanere, og de tester stort sett på 50 yard. Da jeg startet kanalen min skjøt jeg på 50 meter, men gikk over til 50 yard.
@@thegunviking ok
Typical Remington, never really found a truly accurate round from them. They make plinking ammo. It seems their intention was to make lots of ammo as cheaply as possible and let the people deal with it.
Yes, I agree with you. They are plinkingammo, nothing more.
Remington Target ammo is some of the worst ammo I have tried. Even Winchester Wildcat shot better. I had 3 rifles (Vudoo, Lithgow, Kidd 10/22) and the Remington shot badly in all the them.
I will be testing the Wildcat later. My hopes are not high. You have some great rifles👍
@@thegunviking Thank you
