Winchester M-22 ammo
- Thread starter Charlie357magnum

The M22 I tried was . . . . bing . . bang . . boom, totally inconsistent. Thought it was my imagination, chrono confirmed. Powder charges must have been very inconsistent with 150fps spreads out of my CZ512
I use it in my Colt Gold Cup and HK 22 lr with no problems and my colt is picky!

I could not even get it to shoot well in my bolt action rifles. I had 50yd groups that were 1" and larger and at least two rounds that failed to fire and/or stuck in the chamber. It has been one of the worst ammo brands that I have tested in the last six months. To give Winchester the benefit of the doubt, I figured maybe this lot had been poorly stored and exposed to high heat or something like that. I was not aware of the ammo recall on Winchester. How can I get the lot #'s of the recall?
