Remington has come out with a few new rimfire offerings that are more than just interesting, thry are practical. Glad to see the innovation and look forward to testing their performance.

The first one is called Performance Wheelgun .22 which is a 39 gn Truncated Cone for ease in loading and penetration, which travels under 800 fps, subsonic, to help eliminate noise for shooting in revolvers (since you can't put a suppressor on a wheelgun). The Rep mentioned that "In a rifle, bolt or lever gun, the report is so low that you won't need hearing protection".

Then there's two new .22 Short High Velocity copper coated round nose and hollow points, which offer low recoil. Great for revolver, bolt, or even getting more Ammo into your Henry lever gun.

I WHEEL be trying this! 😆 Sorry.

Both look great since I love shooting my Single Six and my Henry.

They look like the Remington Yellow Jacket Hper Velocity ammo, except the opposite concept

Also kinda reminded me of the old Viper Ammo, which I hope it's much better than!
I know its a mock up, but you would think they would have a better picture with an even case mouth, than this...

Remington also introduced the 22 Standard V ammo 38 Grain Lead Round Nose.

Standard V is Remington’s new best-price plinking load.
It is subsonic, with a muzzle velocity around 1,080 FPS.
Because it is made for bulk shooting it comes packaged in 1,400-round buckets and 550-round bricks.

Midway has it in stock.

Partial Midway description:
"Manufactured exclusively in Lonoke, Arkansas, Remington Ammunition Presents: Standard V. This rimfire product is the solution for high volume shooters who are seeking an economical cartridge chambered in 22 LR caliber. This product is engineered to ensure the highest level of reliability thanks to Remington's revamped primer mixes. "

Repackaged thunder turds most likely. Everything they make is MOC garbage.

I recently bought and tried the Remmy Ranch Hands in both the 40 gr. RN solid points the 36 gr. RN hollow points to shoot in one of my auto that has a reputation to being finicky. Copper plated bullets. They fed fantastic. I don’t think they shot as well as the CCI Mini-Mag but I’m not a true marksman either.
I’m having no issues with my gun at all I have not had one stove pipe, jam, light stroke miss fire yet with it.
Some reviews I had seen before I bought it had showed feeding nightmares by some. I’ve been loading my magazines per the way the factory tells you to and I’ve had zero issues.
I would be fine with shooting nothing but CCI’s thru it but I do like shooting and trying different ammo.

The Rep mentioned that "In a rifle, bolt or lever gun, the report is so low that you won't need hearing protection".
Probably true. The CCI Quiet ammo is truly low noise, no reason the new Remington product wouldn't be.
I've had a Walther design TCP for ?? ages that worked well with the truncated Viper and Yellow Jacket. Accuracy, such as it is in a auto with a 3" barrel and "sorta" sights was OK, and it worked fine bumping off big water snakes on a couple trout streams, 5'-10' from my waders. I have some of the new Vipers, but they haven't made it to the range.
This past summer I gave a pass at Remington rimfire products, (having been disappointed after the real Remington stop selling it), and the new production has actually been accurate and reliable in most of my rimfires. I stocked up on the 100rd pak of GB RN/HP.

It didn't do so hot in my Savage BV, but I still have both boxes.
I have a MKII BV, I rate it as the most accurate LR/$$$ in my collection.
When I accumulate mediocre ammo, I turn it into DA practice @ 15yds with my SP101/4", or one of my SA revolvers shooting at chunks of scrap 4X4.
Unlike wine, rimfire ammo never improves with age. I was arranging my ammo last year, and out popped a brick of Winchester HS RN, that I dated in 1998. My memory told me it was good stuff in my VBZ, but it wasn't. It was only 20+ years old :(

My pre accu trigger BV was one of the most accurate rifles in my line up. I couldn’t leave well enough alone, and installed a Rifle Basix Trigger. I had to remove some of the stock to clear the sear. That's when my BV stop shooting. It shot tiny groups with Aguila Super Max Hp's. I have never seen a rifle do that before. I couldn’t leave well enough alone. 😞

I did a screen capture form first post. The end of the brass is uneven. Lets hope it was bad lighting! Remington has a long way to get to past the Thunderbolt reputation. I do see an opportunity if Remington really wanted to grab market share. We need some $50 per 1000 primers. Good primers. That price is considering post covid dollars for both labor and materials.

I’m not gonna buy a boat load more of the Ranch Hands but will pick up more the next time I pass Cabela’s. I was reluctant to buy them but what I bought to test in one of my auto was trouble free and shot nearly as well as the CCI’s. Now admittedly I’m not pistol marksman and can only shoot a pistol so good but do want to shoot good ammo.
I never thought that highly of the old Vipers and hate to say anything bad about anything Federal because they have been great over the years but those Spitfires (same design) they use to make we’re not that great either.
Not a big project but in the summer I’m going rescope my 880 SQ and will be looking to see what shoots best through it.
