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.

Ammo is consistent in performance. Have not had a misfire or failure to cycle. Excellent performance and value for target practice. Burns clean, gun cleaning a snap. First purchased on a recommendation from a friend and will continue to purchase.

I'm all about going to the local gun shop and buying over priced ammo to help out a fellow entrepreneur until they run out or won't stock the ammo I want. Ammo.com is my second pick but number 1 on online sales

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!

Horrible ammo, stuck in my revolver and wouldn't feed at all thru SIG Sauer Mosquito. Unfortunately, I bought several boxes. Note to self, in the future, buy the smallest amount of ammo to see if it's worth it.

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.

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.
-
John said:
I can confirm the previous review. My Taurus will not feed them. I never had a problem with CCI. Yes, the square tip of the hollow point jams. But they also don't feed through the magazines consistently. And some get stuck in the barrel itself - as if they are not dimensionally consistent and the ones that jam are a little too wide. I have about 5,000 rounds that are useless. Really disappointed with the Winchester brand.

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
