It is still very unavailable here in any shooting quantities...  

Cabelas has a lot but limit you to 100 rounds at a time and it is about 1 hour away.

Shitfuckpissdamn.
I just got that at Cabelas for considerably more...  

Is the Remington golden bullet stuff worth buying or is it as bad as the thunderbolt crap?

I'll pay 5 cents a round any day.
I'm not talking about Walmart. I'm talking about the folks that loaded up of this stuff for 5 cents and under a round and are selling it for 10 cents and higher. Hell I've seen mini mags go for 19 cents a shot. Seems like some bought or buy it just to turn a profit.

I just paid $41.95 plus tax for a 500 count brick of Remington Golden bullets at Cabela's. Either the manufacturer's are lying about production or .22 ammo is being sucked into a black hole.

This is what I found Saturday at my local Walmart.  Picked up 3 packs.  1575 of .22lr goodness.  It only took a year of looking to find some.

That all depends on your gun and the discipline you shoot.  Some guns will shoot OK but for
competition out of a quality rifle I'd look elsewhere.  In my circle of friends and competitors
it is not viewed as fit for precision work.  Only way you can tell is if you try some, then decide.

Back in 1962 I was shooting NRA Smallbore Rifle @ 50 yards using Remington Standard
Velocity out of a $21.00 Mossberg.  It was great ammo then with only about 5 duds per box.
Today my best .22 rifle cost quite a bit more and I won't even consider "Golden Bullets"
for sighting in, let alone competition.  Let experience be your best teacher.
