    I've used it. It doesn't feed very well in my Remington 597. My Remington, doesn't like 40 grain rounded nose rounds. It only likes cheap Federal 36 grain bulk ammo...

    I know another guy who tried it and liked it initially, but had some feeding issues with it too. He also stopped using it in his .22 rifle.

    It is expensive ammo. Maybe it would work better with a bolt rifle. I gave one box of it away after I had trouble with it. I haven't tried it in my Buckmark pistol yet. If it works, I'll use the other box. If it doesn't, I'll give it away.

    I won't be buying anymore of it.

    I have had bad luck with Winchester ammo but it was the bulk 555.

    I have much better luck with federal .22ammo.

    Same here, I have not had any issues with the Federal or CCI ammo, so I think I will pass on the Winchester.
    Thanks for all the help.

    I have run the M22 ammo through both the 10/22 and my supressed 22lr conversion on my P226. It performed just fine for the plinking we were doing. We also had a box of the 555 which had alot more FTF's then the M22

    Reviews (on Cableas) seem pretty good. One guy is claiming 2K rounds with zero FTF/FTL????

    Pretty impressive for bulk.
