New Improved Remington .22 'bulk' ammo

Today, and checked with a 100 gram weight. I use it for gold and silver. it goes down to hundredths of a gram. it will weigh in grains but will not break down below 1 grain. I'm sure it's not as accurate as what you are using.
 
.01 g = .154 gr, I don't weigh gun powder, l know that cci's are not all the same weight either, but less variance. Completely ignorant on this. Apparently it's smaller values are important otherwise they would not use the smaller unit of measure .
 
So maybe the variance isn't that big of a deal, with this particular round. I know from real world experience that all of these rounds go bang
every time, ( with me ).
 
I have had the most luck with Winchester white box bulk 22 ammo, followed by Remington, Federal and Blazer.
 
I tried that box of new and improved remingtons after i finished up my federals. I didn't notice any difference. My hands were covered in powder/metalic flakes from handling the ammo and the bullets seemed to be loose in the case. They all did go bang though and the accuracy was pretty decent for bulk ammo. In a pinch, I'd use them.
 
Bullets wiggle

The bullets wiggle, but other than that, I believe what davevabch said "I contacted Remington today. They said they have pulling off the shelves the 550 bulk pak. They now sell the "New and Improved" ammo with the new box. They said they completely revamped the manufacturing process, and using a new mix of powder and primers." I wouldn't be surprised if they're using Eley primers as someone suggested. Now if they can stop the little play in the bullet which CCI doesn't have they will be the first bulk rate ammo with the quality of CCI. CCI bullet does not wiggle. All bulk ammo does wiggle probably because they through them in a pile together. The wiggle did cause me to have one failure to feed out of about 80 rounds. It just stuck in the top of the mag, maybe because the bullet wiggled or wedged. They can fix that. Also, CCI has variance in their weights just like Remington, but it isn't quite as much. I believe the New and Improved is in a class by itself, being bulk priced ammo.
