Winchester Ammo For Sale
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.
Modern Winchester Ammunition
Today, Winchester offers a wide range of ammunition for hunters, sport shooters, and self-defense enthusiasts. Their popular lines include traditional Winchester Super-X 12 Gauge ammo, the ever-popular Winchester 9mm ammo, and modern options like the AccuBond CT and PDX1 Defender. On the defensive side of that 9mm shelf, Winchester 9mm hollow point ammo gathers the 115 and 147 grain JHP loads, Silvertip included.
Among Winchester's most popular modern offerings is their USA line of 5.56 NATO ammunition, commonly known as "White Box" among shooters. This affordable, brass-cased training ammunition has become a staple for AR-15 owners who need reliable performance for high-volume range sessions without premium pricing. Our Winchester 5.56 White Box review provides in-depth testing results on reliability, accuracy, and overall performance.
Popular Winchester Ammunition
- Winchester .32 Special: A favorite among handloaders and hunters of medium-sized game.
- Winchester 9x23mm: Designed for competition shooting but remains a niche option.
- Winchester .300 Win Mag: Highly accurate and powerful, ideal for large-game hunting at long distances.

Winchester also shaped the 410. Its three-inch shell, introduced in 1933, opened the door to heavier payloads, and our Winchester 410 ammo runs from #9 birdshot to 000 buck and PDX1 defense loads.

I SHOT AROUND 250 ROUNDS AT THE RANGE AND HAD NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.

William said:
I've heard of bad batches but never witnessed any with 10k rounds bought. I run this is all my plinking guns with no barrel fouling, and just the occasional failure to fire due to bad primer (~1/300). Pistol, rifle or revolver all take this as well as minimag at around .02$ less per round. I'll take a box of 500 and run through it at the range. Runs cleaner than most 22 I've fired too.

I am surprised that Ammo.com is even trying to sell this ammo, winchester has 7 lots on their recall list, with others that I have had issues with. The ammo has issues with overloads in powder. Had one round that ruined my ruger Sr 22. Due to the overloaded round going off in the gun. Strong enough that it blows apart the rimfire from the casing.

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 didn’t 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 “best value” .22 rimfire ammo I have used. I won’t purchase this Winchester M 22 ammo again.

Andrew said:
I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 in order to get the functionality of the AR platform all while using ammo that I can not just afford but really enjoy shooting with. The M&P 15-22 is basically an AR15 just scaled down to a .22LR cartridge, all of the classic AR functionality still exists and works, no "fake" switches or levers here, it operates very much the same as your average AR just with .22LR so you can not only shoot all day but enjoy it too at a fraction of the price you would if you were shooting 5.56 I absolutely love the rifle and Ammo.com is the best place to get high quality bulk ammo at the best available prices. I plan on continuing to use them to stock up so I can spend more time at the range and less time worrying about affording ammo.

Matthew said:
If you look at the 3rd picture (sure wish I did before I purchased) you will see how filthy the cases are and how poorly aligned the bullets are. I can tell you the boxes I got are at least that bad. Wish I had paid a few bucks more for something better. My Sig P322 has a 20%+ failure rate with this trash. It does better in my Smith & Wesson MP 15-22, but still not great. Maybe in a revolver or bolt action it might not suck so bad for plinking?

Philip said:
Got a varmint problem on the farm. Now I have less of a problem. Loading into a smith and Wesson 22cal Hammond gun. 10 round clip. No jamming. No miss fires. Will buy again.

TOM said:
BEST OF THE INEXPENSIVE AMMOS THAT I HAVE TRIED IN MY SAVAGE MARK 2. CONSISTENTLY SHOT AROUND 3/4 INCH GROUP AT FIFTY YARDS AND MOST WERE CLOSER THAN THAT. ,PRICE RIGHT, QUALITY GOOD. MORE ACCURATE THAN MORE EXPENSICE AMMO IN MY GUN AT LEAST. SINCERELY, TBA

Nothing in life is perfect including 22 caliber rim fire bullets, but they come close.

Excellent service

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.

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.

Very good ammo. Brass ammo worked very well, no jams, or misfires.

I spoke with Chris yesterday (28-November) I needed clarification on the rebate process from Winchester. He walked me through the process step by step, shared his own experience relating to the process. It's always reassuring when someone shares from a personal point of view, not just what's written, gave me some insight on timeframes, also advice, go to tje site first so i would know what was needed, a great help to because I'm buying from Ammo.com of course and there are time frames, so that was very helpful as well.. Chirs was patient, knowledge and insightful about all aspects of his product. Normally (as with most) I feel if I dont ask i wont get the full story, Chris always deep dives and goes further giving all needed for me to feel comfortable in my decision. I might add you aren't going to find better pricing, along with carry laws state by state, uodated daily, real time. Service, Pricing, Quality: thats a Hat Trick everyone can live with... thank you Ammo.com for having ambassadors such as Chris representing you....

These are good shells, and high quality from a name you know. Pretty good valve as well, so you can probably afford to shoot all day!

Tyler said:
The ammo shoots perfectly out of my picky 1911. I had zero malfunctions out of 500 rounds shot. Fiocchi ammo gave me an average of one malfunction / 50 rounds shot. My only gripes are that the bullets look a little dirty, which of course had no issue with performance. And mostly the only thing I didn't like was that the tray the bullets come in is made out of Styrofoam so it leaves little foam bits all over the counter at the range.... All in all I would buy again.
-
Reginald said:
Not bad performs as it should. Im satisfied with the performance so far. No misfires yet although I haven't shot too much but ill do another review if I run into issues. Shot a couple hundred out of my bolt action

JtAlmond said:
I shot 60 rounds of this flat nose stuff along with a fair amount of PMC, Magtech, and Hornady to break in my new 2.0. Every one of these bullets fed, shot, and extracted smoothly. A flat nose 380 gives a smash cavity in your target instead of a round nose just slipping past tissue and deflecting off bone. Best choice for self d.

I am impressed with ammo.com! I have a variety of calibers and now that I have experience with ammo.com, I know i can save both time and $$ shopping here. The only limiting factor is my wife lol. Justifying buying another gun is an easy skill to acquire and hone to perfection, to keep her on her toes, justifying the ammo first, is the alternative method to starting the gun itself - ammo.com is my new favorite place to hone my skills lol! Try them! You'll like em. A friendly bunch and gladly honored my request to avoid the dog killing FedEx shipping method. They have my business!! Good, accurate ammo, great prices, friendly staff, what more could an ammosexual redneck ask for?

This ammo performed well in all of our pistols. While some ammo wouldn’t feed in the P365, this ammo ran through the Walther PK380, Sig P238 and Sig P365 without any failures.

ROLAND said:
This is the second round type by Winchester I have shot. The 5.56 and this 45 FMJ 230 gr were horrible. After this 500, I am done with Winchester as a round. Yeah, they are cheap ....think about that...maybe that is why.

The 45 Cal performed well. The price was not bad, but i wish it cost less.

I love my .45 ACP 1911A1 but sometimes it hurts my bank account knowing how much I'm spending every time I pull the trigger. Ammo.com offers a great variety of solutions at prices enthusiast shooters can afford, I am quite pleased with my purchase and plan to make many more.

I have a Kimber pro 45 cal. And the ammo is great with it. No jams, no problems and very consistent. Will definitely be coming back for more. Can't beat these prices for quality ammo.

Rusty said:
I started hunting whitetail deer with my .270 3 years ago. I've taken 4 deer in that time. One at 180 yards with a liver shot. 1 at 100 yards with double lung shot. One at 60 yards double lung shot. One at 20 yards heart shot. It hasn't let me down yet, and I don't think it will. I shoot 130 grain winchester deer season xp through it every year, and will continue to do so. Once sighted in properly, this is a flat shooting round with great stopping power for NY whitetail deer.

Butch said:
I shoot 130 silver tips they are the best knock down for my 270 they are hard to get now days
-
Marty said:
Bought 2 box's of xp 130 grain for deer season this year. I did shoot a Buck at 250 yards and a Doe at 170 yards using this ammo. Both deer dropped in their tracks and I was impressed with the knock down power and accuracy of the loads. My problem with these shells is that between the 2 box's I bought I have now fired 27 of the 40 rounds and have had 3 shells jam in my gun, 1 of which was out in the field while hunting. Fortunately it would have been my 2nd shot if it was needed. My rifle is a brand new Tika bolt action. I have also fired Remington and Hornady rounds through this gun at the range with no problems. I have had no problems with Winchester ammunition in the past, but this problem seems to be a quality control issue at Winchester. Hopefully they can solve the problem as otherwise I like the ammunition. Will not more for at least awhile due to the above issues.

Ralph said:
i shoot 2 inch 10 round groups with my Fierce Carbon Rouge. Shoots well out of my gun. Depends on the gun… some are picky with ammo. I was lucky, this was the first round i tried and didn’t see the need to try anything else.

Grouping 2.5-3.5 inch. Primers three different colors. Do not buy
