I've been shooting since I was a little kid and I've never seen leading like I got today in two different .22's I had with me. I shot about 200 rds and all of the sudden accuracy went to crap. Finished the mag and brought target back in (was shooting at 10yds) and saw the keyholes, switched ammo but it was too late SHOCKING amount of lead in barrel Got it home and I could barely get a cleaning rod through. I attached a pic of the second brush through and the lead that was dragged out. I also had a split case today. I think I'm done with remington thunderbolt!
