Seems that this is becoming more common with a push to meet demand.

In my experience Thunderbolts have always been defective.

Agreed.  Back in the day bought several bricks and ended up throwing them out.  Too many FTF and seemed like half charges plus they fed like crap.

Thunderbolts have always been junk. I guess they're just now realizing it.

One other thing I found with .22 rimfire is the Aguila doesn't store well.  I got a brick several years back from Cabela's and while it worked well at first, it took me a couple years to get through the brick.  By the time I got to the last few boxes I threw them away because I was getting a lot of hangfires.  The misfires I could handle but sometimes it would be 3-4 seconds after the hammer dropped that they would go off.  When fresh they were fine.  They  were stored in a dry basement along with some Federals that were actually older but still worked fine.
