I would consider anybody trying to shoot that junk badly out of luck. I'd gladly give them a box of 22 LR shells. I hope things would turn around for him/her as to allow purchase of decent cartridges. I'd bet money those rounds were too dinged up to chamber.
My shooting partner came up with one of those promo boxes of .22 shells. These shells would not go into his rifles. He had found them on the range I took them. Later, I noticed that these shell had changed hands to the point that the printing on the box was mostly rubbed off. Wonder how long and how far that box useless shells had gone?
Add: Let OP try rounds for fit in his rifle and get back with us.
