I was at a LGS the other week and they had just gotten a case of Remington range 9mm. I had to really look at it as I didn’t know they were back up and running. They had them for $26/box of 50. It’s been the cheapest I’ve seen anywhere locally. Only one other place has had any instock and it was $35.
Hope they bring back the subsonic. It worked well - liked it for the grandson's shooting as it was so quiet that I could let him shoot w/o muffs so he would hear instructions .
last visit to the local gunshop, there were maybe 25 boxes of Remington bulk 22lr on the shelf. given the state of things I assume there are newly made. did not ask a price, as I have more .22lr than I will ever need, but last time bulk showed up there, the price was like normal a couple of years ago.

Can’t remember how long ago but those 500 rd thunder duds and Rem 325 pks were $13.95 and $15.95 at Wally World.
I do think the thunder bolts were dirty and a few (<15) duds per box.

I found a nice box of .243 at Wallyworld today in the middle of the city
We picked up three bricks of Remington Thunderbolts last week at chinamart.

I’ve never had very good luck with thunderbolts and wouldn’t buy any of them. I understand get what you can get right now but man they were junk with not firing.
Any of you try the new ones yet? Are they any better?
This is NOT related to the present thread or situation, but......it concerns Remington .22 ammo that was packed in those little yellow plastic boxes with the slide out tray.
Many moons ago....maybe 1982 or so....I bought a full case of Remington .22's from our local hardware store. Almost every one of those blasted things refused to extract from my Remington 514 single shot, which I've owned since childhood. An examination of a fired case showed the rim to be "blown out" to an almost comical balloon shape. After diagnosing everything, it turns out that the case material was so thin (cheap) that the rim expanded in the extractor slot, and the extractor hook simply rode over the rim......leaving the case in the chamber and a mystified owner.
So, I have to ask myself, which is worse........a round that doesn't extract, or one that just won't go "bang"? Hopefully, that problem has been rectified since I've shunned Remington ammo for years.
Don't know if this is a reliable source, but: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/...ck-full-swing/
I have a 514. Great little rifle but it won't extract anything. I have to keep a knife on the bench to pull the shells out.

It's good to see Remington is back online producing ammunition. I'm sure more than a few people are happy to find anything at this point and time. It's a rare occasion for me to purchase factory ammunition. After all, this site is dedicated to making our own, right?
Thunderbolt .22's. It's been many years since I've used them. I do remember a time 40 years ago they suited my purposes just fine. Of course over the years, I tried new things and different rimfire .22 rimfire ammunition by various makers. Let's hope the newer Thunderbolts are more reliable than some have experienced.

I think 100% the Remington brass was thinner - I preferred 'em for swaging 53 gr. bullets , the thin jackets made 'em very frangible on impact . A few groundhogs looked like they swallowed a baseball and it almost came out ! CCI and Federal were thicker . Liked the Winchester Super X just because the finished bullet had that "X" on the base !
