I also load my own but these were too cheap to miss!Now that you own them, they must be good enough lol. In all honesty I tend to avoid Remmington factory loads in 9mmx19, 22lr. I don't buy factory centerfire rifle from anyone I load my own.
You’ll be missing with them soon
They’re cheap for a reason… probably fine for your average redneck with an AR-15 but experience of them in a T3 was not good - suggestion was the barrel was fubar but then swapped to some decent ammo & suddenly shooting groups rather than a pattern!

I bought a job lot of Remington 55gr SPs in 22-250, they wouldn’t even group 2” at 100yds, so definitely NOT good enough for foxes. A fox may be a pest species but that doesn’t mean we should afford it any less care in aiming for a clean humane kill, and the poor performance of the Remington certainly meant that it would be totally unsuitable.
I ended up pulling the bullets and reloading the cartridges with the powder carefully measured and Vmax in place of the truly awful SPs, the results were still not as good as my regular handloads but were certainly within my expectations of a varmint round.

We use them is our club for sale to members and for training/ range use when shooting club rifles.
Never had an issue with fail to fire and reasonable through our TIKKA 223 1 IN 12 Barrels maybe 2 to 3 moa, better with an experienced shooter.
For the price and up to 300 yards on targets I say good to go, varminting maybe 150 yards.

They are FMJ so no good for foxing.
