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.

They worked very well.
Used them in a winchester semi auto 22 that likes hi speed ammo and a few semi 22 pistols. I had one dud.

Picked these up too same bullet profile
Just like a remington yellow jacket

Nice!!

Lol....not that nice
They worked in some guns fine.
Others didn't like feeding them.

Did get another umc brick as they were very good and now these.
Just high speed 40 grain lead so should work in everything
