Overview of Winchester Ammo
Winchester Repeating Arms is one of the most recognized names in the firearms world, celebrated for its lever-action rifles, bolt-action rifles, and shotguns. Known as "the gun that won the West," Winchester firearms have played a pivotal role in American history, from the Civil War to the World Wars and beyond.
A Storied History
Winchester's story began with the Henry rifle during the Civil War, which became renowned for its reliability. This success led to the formation of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, introducing innovations like the lever-action rifle and centerfire cartridges. Over the years, iconic models like the Model 1873, Model 1894, and the Model 70 became household names among hunters, soldiers, and shooting enthusiasts.
Winchester Innovations
- Model 1866: The first Winchester lever-action rifle, used in wars from the Franco-Prussian War to the Siege of Plevna.
- Model 1873: Known as "the gun that won the West," chambered for the innovative .44-40 cartridge.
- Model 1894: One of the most popular hunting rifles of all time, manufactured until 2006 and reintroduced in 2011.
- M1 Garand & M1 Carbine: Key rifles during WWII, contributing to Winchester's wartime resurgence.
- .308 Winchester: Introduced in the 1950s, this cartridge remains one of the most influential in the industry.
Challenges and Resilience
Despite innovations, Winchester faced challenges due to rising labor costs and economic downturns. The company transitioned to employee ownership in 1980, becoming U.S. Repeating Arms. While its historic New Haven plant closed in 2006, the Olin Corporation retains the Winchester trademark for ammunition, ensuring the brand's legacy continues.

This is the 2nd order for 1,000 rounds. The first 1,000 were excellent !! Not one hitch. Compared to some other ammo I've tried; this is cleaner and preforms more consistently. Perfect for target practice at the range. $240 for 1,000 rounds is also the best price I've found, delivery is quick and it's a great value for the money !!

This ammo in new Glock 34 had about 1 failure per mag (17) . My Taurus G2 would not fire more than 2 in a row. No problems with any other ammo brands in these weapons. I think the primers they are using are sub par. The firing pin indentation is there but no boom.

We shot 15K of 9mm ammo over 4 months in a handgun training course, including 5K of Winchester 9mm. Remington, S&B, Federal, and a other brands all ran flawlessly in all weapons. We were therefore very surprised when we had consistent problems with Winchester. The issues seems to be depth of the primers. With one Glock 19 (modified to a 4lb tirgger pull with a Pyramid striker spring,) 1 round in 5 failed to fire. The primers would show a dent from the striker pin but would not ignite. The dented rounds could often be reloaded and fired in other weapons (factory standard Glock 17, HK, and Sig) but even there about 1 in 4 of the dented rounds would fail (now showing two firing pin dents in the primer). In other weapons, this Winchester 9mm failed about in 1 round in 50 (roughly one dud ~every 3 magazines). Every shooter had more than one failure, regardless of what weapon they were using (Sig, HK, Glock, S&W, Ruger, etc). Winchester has been one of my preferred brands for years, but after this consistent level of failure I will not purchase Winchester 9mm again. Again, NO OTHER BRAND FAILED TO FIRE in any of the weapons used at this course.

My wife and I both love this ammo for range ammo. We have never had a failure or jam in either of our pistols. And unlike our local stores it seems to be always in stock here!

Charles said:
I'm happy with the prices and delivery times; My only complaint is i would rather the products come in unmarked boxes, since I am in the process of stockpiling ammo against the future laws of our state., I would rather no one knows what I'm purchasing, and having delivered.

Modern Super-X 44-40 hunting loads only get 1,190fps advertised, limiting this cartridge to only 100 yards. Mine chronographed 1,025fps. Original black powder factory loads achieved 1,325fps and were killers out to 300 yards, later reduced to 1,245, then back up to 1,325fps with smokeless loads. By the1960's they were reduced to 1,310fps when rifle powder was replaced by ball powders. By 1978 Winchester started using flake pistol powders, further reducing performance down to the now 1,190fps advertised velocity. Not to mention from 1903 to 1941, Winchester manufactured 1,565fps High Velocity loads used for the Model 92' Winchesters and other like rifles like the Marlin 1894. Winchester further nurtured the 44-40 with the mouse fart "Cowboy" reduced loads of only 900fps from a rifle. Thus I give the modern factory loads a 2 for performance, a 2 for value since folks are paying an arm and a leg for neutered ammunition. I give 4 stars for quality since since they do go boom every time and are accurate. https://sites.google.com/view/44winchester

Have only gone through 6 rounds but seemed to perform well. Will let you know when I get out and get serious.

This ammo is not the greatest if you take care of your firearms or dislike cleaning it. The ammo shot great with my beretta 92fs, and specially with my Stribog SP93A, but it is a very dirty round to shoot, you must clean the firearm afterwards, otherwise, the next times you shoot, this firearm will have malfunctions, although, I clean my firearms after range day, I had no problem.

Terrible ammo. Almost every one jammed. Do not buy

Mike said:
I've already had several (over 70) misfires (4 boxes in) from 5 types of guns = did not expect that.
-
Sparlash said:
All of the rounds in the 555 box had spinning bullets loosely crimped. The results are erratic velocity readings and failures to load and eject. I am very fearful of getting a squib. I shoot a Taurus TX 22. I will save this stuff for my single action Ruger single six revolver where I can shoot slowly and react to a misfire or squib unlike shooting quickly in a semi auto.

Crafter said:
Rounds poorly made. Bullets spin and bend inside casing. CCI rounds are rock solid by comparison. These rounds jam frequently, have multiple duds per magazine, and are generally unreliable. Not happy with my purchase and will not ever purchase again.

I've fired over 400 rounds through my new SigArms auto without a misfire. That has to be a record for me.

Ahmad said:
I got the 3330 rounds. Unfortunately didn't go well with my Taurus. Failure to feed likely because it's not round tip. The hollow point makes more likely to get stuck. Now I have tops of these that I don't know what to do with

Good value based .22LR. Couple of misfires per 100 rounds but could have been losing based or gun.

Joseph said:
Was excited to receive shipment. Upon visit to range liberally 1 out of 3 bullets would jam or just not fire at all. Thank God i keep better ammo for protection.

Joseph said:
Brought this 1000 round bundle. Took to the range. LITERALLY after every 2 or 3 shots it would get jammed and not fire. Loaded magazines 6 different times and same issue every single time.

Dan Young said:
This ammo was of poor quality and it underperformed. I had on average 3-to-4 rounds per 100 that either didnโt fire at all after 3 recycles or else fired after recycling; it appears to be a quality control issue with the rimfire primers. I use a very reliable handgun. The overall accuracy was also sub-par compared to other brands of โbest valueโ .22 rimfire ammo I have used. I wonโt purchase this Winchester M 22 ammo again.
-
Dan Young said:
This ammo is a great value and performs well in multiple makes and models of 9mm handguns. It is relatively clean and has consistent accuracy at a variety of ranges. I would buy this ammo again.

I shoot this and numerous other brands of 17 HMR bullets out of a scoped, old age and bad eyes, CZ 452 bolt action rifle and over the past 17 years I have not had any problems with this or any other brand of 17s. The quality of brass and bullets are par for Winchester, Iโm satisfied with it and wouldnโt hesitate to buy more should I need it, Have a sufficient supply for now.

I bought 350 round and in my new 17 Savage I got 2 out of every 10 to fire sorry batch of ammo I ever bought

marcblueturtle said:
Bought several boxes. Just now got around to firing some in my Henry Golden Boy 17 HMR. Shot 100 rounds. 15 failed to fire. Good strike marks on rim. Just failed. Bad!! I have never had any other 17 cal brand do this. In fact, since I have had my Henry, I have had no failures until now. I read some other reviews around the internet and some had more failures per 100 than I did. Very disappointed in Winchester. Once I get these boxes used up at firing range, I will buy no more and I sure would not use these loads if I were out coyote hunting. -

The box of this ammo I used was received as a gift from my brother for my 60th birthday. Normally, I wouldn't have purchased it myself, but being it was a gift, I used it for target practice and the occasional magazine of personal defense. The ammo functioned pretty much flawlessly in my personal Ruger LCP, but gave some feeding problems in a friends Ruger LCP due to it being a "flat point", so there is reason to be aware of possible feeding problems in some firearms. In my personal opinion, there are better options for practice, and definitely better options for concealed carry defensive ammo.

IMc said:
Awful! On a Glock 19 experienced a phenomenal about one misfire in ten (primer dented, but not firing). Same round could then be fired (most of the time) in a Glock 17, where the misfire rate was only about 1 in 25. Experienced same (1:25) error rate shooting in both a Sig320 and HK MP5K. This is the ONLY band ammo we have had any problems with, including cheap CHinese stuff. Same guns fired 10K rounds of Remmington in the months prior this purchase and experienced NO misfires.

Shot this through a VR-80 and another auto-loader. Never cycled in the VR-80 and sometimes it did in the other one.
