Thunderbolts in Wal-Mart

[spazz023]

Just left Wal-Mart on 66 in Knoxville, they had about 50 single packs of thunderbolts for 2.37 each. Not my choice, but if you need em, better than nothing.

Oh gosh, I dont know what I was thinking when I posted that. One of my spazz moments I suppose... Chapman hwy is where I saw them doubt there's any left by now but you never know. Edited December 10, 2014 by spazz023

I have 1k rounds of these and they shoot fine.  The bullets are at least all the same shape without looking like they were dragged behind a car.  For the price, the # of misfires is low, accuracy is "reasonable", not bad at all.

You know honestly I've never had a problem with them, but I have a pretty decent stock of CCI which I prefer. The worst looking ammo I have seen in years is the first and only rounds of winchester m22 I bought at wallyworld.

Now I will preface this by saying I haven't shot any yet, but they look terrible. Every round looks like there is a clear coating on it that is like corroding off of it. They are all super rough. I even emailed Winchester but never got a reply. I'd take thunderbolts over them any day.

I've shot them since I was kid (back when the Chinese first invented gunpowder).

 

But they are not reliable in 3 of my semi-auto .22s. Can't imagine exactly why, dimensions seem same as any other 40 gr. leadhead.

Guess I am lucky...I have shot them through an M&P 22, a 10/22, and a CMMG 22 conversion in my ARs...havent had an issue with them or any other 22 ammo that I can recall...

I'll take thunderbolt over their golden trash ammo any day. I shot up a whole 500 bulk box last saturday with only one dud. I rotated that one 180 degrees and it fired the second time. They also work fine in all of my semi's.
