I had about zero rimfire when the shortage hit. So I was very pleased when I found a couple of buckets of the Golden Bullets.
I bought two and still did not have any rimfire! That stuff was junk.
I heard that Remington had improved their rimfire ammo.
I was not willing to risk my money to find out.
I will continue to avoid Remington rimfire.
It was easier to shoot the Remongtons I had on hand during the shortage and not worry about replacing it.
