Yeah sure, I didn't answer the OP's question.

I've never seen a test like the one he is requesting. When it comes to rimfire, I believe the gold standard is Eley primed stuff like Aguila or, well, Eley brand.

It's interesting about the Remington Golden bullet "Crap", I have run Buckets of it. While it's a bit dirty it runs my .22 semi Auto's without a problem.

With the exception of one finicky P22, it runs flawlessly through my Rifles and Pistols.

My preferred .22 ammo is Blazer, It even runs perfect in that one P22.

I've had more failures with Remington 9mm than any other brands, but it's true that centerfire ammo failures are quite rare overall. Remington's rimfire is absolute garbage though - consistently. You can't pay me to shoot it.

Interesting about the .22 ammo. Maybe it's a Lot issue and i have been lucky.

I'd never heard of a .22lr squib, but as an RO I've now seen several. they were different brands, but all from local bi-mart, which had experienced multiple gun thefts, with a fire set to mask the crime. Makes me wonder if water-damage from fire fighters may have affected the ammo. For those who can definitively (per O.P) say x-brand is garbage, how can you be sure that solvent or water damage or some other storage/environmental issue is not a contributing factor to reliability?
