Anyone use remington yellow jackets in semi autos?

The yellow jacket is the round my Gevarm A3 likes above all others. I always found the round nose bullets get a slight shave when feeding from the magazine but the truncated cone feeds super smooth and they shoot extremely accurately out of it. And as for misfires / duds, what are those? I have never had a misfire with the old Gevarm! I used to pick up the duds from my shooting buddies Cooey and Winchester and shoot them out of my rifle! Really bugged them!
 
I've never really had too much of an issue with them in my 10/22.

I have a love hate relationship with them......

Love how hard they hit and the damage they produce....

Hate how dirty they are. Doesn't take many rounds to make your action very dirty!!!!!!
 
They don't feed at all in my Savage Lakefield 64, but they obviously work fine in my Cooey 60 (bolt action) and 22 revolver. The Lakefield jams them up against the feed ramp and mangles the bullets.
 
work great in my gsg 22, my marlin 795, my daughters mossy, they are expensive here as well however bear in mind the velocity is similar to a stinger so price expected to be a little higher

I found that they would not work at all in my semi-auto pinkster, but almost no issues in my tube feed Henry and old Marlin.

Od thing is every time I put them in a leaver I had problems same with my brother and the other person that we shoot with that have leavers.

I have a Remington 597 and they work ok if you use the small slim line mags don't do well in the 30 round mags... blow crazy big holes in gofers. DO NOT use these rounds in leaver action rifles ever!
 
Oversized dirty junk. The only gun they work well in is my Cooey model 60. They don't work worth a damn in any of my other guns. I never buy Remington ammo, all my guns get an exclusive diet of Federal or CCI. Sometimes my target guns get some Eley though.
 
I use them in my 10/22 and they work fine. They don't always feed well from the Butler Creek 25 round mag but from the factory 10s they do well.

They did not even fit in an old Cooey single shot though.
 
I went though a few thousand of them on a gopher mission in '91 near Water Valley in 'Berta using my 10/22. They worked beauty but as noted above, the standard 10 round mags worked best. Yellow Jackets make
a neat pop when they hit a gopher in the wet spot.;)
 
I was at the range yesterday and shot a variety of ammo thru my beretta 71 and found the yellow jackets to be quite good. No problem feeding or ejecting. Decent accuracy as well. Compared to the Win super X I prefered the yellow jackets. Also ran them in my savage BRJ MK ii and they were second only to cci stingers for accuracy. The local Cdn Tire has limited selection of .22LR so it's either the yellow jacket or Sellier & Bellot which I'm not too chuffed about. For now the YJ is what I'm going to be using.

As we all know it's tough finding .22 ammo but a local store has bricks of these yellow jackets. Just wondering if they are any good in the 10/22?

Know this is an old thread but it’s yellow jackets or vipers only in my Remington Viper .22 as it’s designed and feeds and shoots best with truncated shaped bullets and hates round nose and hollow points generally. Zero function issues with these two types of ammo. —Dieseldog!
