Now I know your blessed! Or have really, really crappy luck with other brands of .22sI’ve shot many many bricks of them. They have always been very reliable for me compared to other bulk ammo.
Can a firing pin issue cause squibs in .22s? I know they can reduce ignition consistency but didn't think they would cause a full on squib.I suspect you may have a firing pin issue...

I started shooting these back in the mid 1960's as a kid. They misfired back then & ever since. The bulk golden bullets are the worst .22 ammo I have ever shot, but their 50 round & 100 round are much better, but still not trusted - ever.Dose Remington have a Quality problem
with there 22 long rifle ammo. I purchased 100 ct. Golden bullets .
I had 8 squib. 2 misfire rounds.
They are well known for both. Calling them will get you nowhere. I called them back when customer service meant something & got nowhere. Remington never could get their priming compound right or their ammo charge correct. Their Thunderbolts shoot just fine & go bang everytime with no squibs. Go figure.i would call them, the golden is known for misfires but not squibs.
I got squibs with Federal champion out of my MKIII with weird firing pin issue. I can see it happening.Ignition is ignition. I can't imagine a flame front that is dainty and specific.

I quit buying golden, federal bulk, and Winchester bulks, because of miss fires and poor accuracy.
I've only ever had federal stick a bullet in the barrel, and that was ammo that went thru the washing machine.
I bought probably 5k rounds, cause I could get it for 10 bucks a brick, and I got enough duds to quit using them once I found blasers for about the same.Funny how people assume it's the ammo without much if any thought about the rifle or its condition.
