I don't
Shot loads of 22 and don't ever recall seeing them.
Pretty odd bullet.
Figured fine or worth trying in some of the old semis as they are Hi-Speed.

Looks like a non plated Remington Viper 22lr.

You may be on to something

I remember them. Got 'em from Walmart in the early to mid 90s, along with .38 Special and .357 Magnum lead bullets. Boxes had a more yellow color.

.357 loads leaded horribly.

Yep, Walmart's budget version of the Remington loads. Other places sold them too, I'm thinking ****'s Sporting gods maybe?

What's old is new again

I remember the box.

They were late 80s early 90ish IIRC

I know I bought the. 357 and .38 ammo in the mid-90s, because that's how long it took me to be old enough to buy handgun ammo.

They probably crossed my path at some point. I was "in the trade" from '92 to '05, but not at Wally World. I'm certainly familiar with the UMC logo - just not 100% sure I ever saw it on a .22 box.

It's still entertaining to see decades-old price labels on boxes of ammo from places I used to work. Hell, there's a chance I stuck some of them on.
