With this rifle and Winchester Super X 40g, both FMJ and jacketed hollow points, I'm getting a lot of misfires per box.
Using CCI and Federal I have zero issues.
I wouldn't be using Winchester at all except quite often it's all I can find. Naturally whenever possible I will avoid it but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar problems or if it's just my rifle?
 
I don't even take winchester rimfire ammo if it is free.
Years ago it was the go to ammo. Now there is failure to fire and extract on 22LR and split cases FTF and FTE on the 17 HMR.
I have tried with 3 different makes of rimfire rifles in 22 and 17 with the same results.
As an aside.
A guy at work got a new rifle in 6.5 creedmore. Bought a box of winchester ammo and only got 8 of the twenty rounds to go boom.

I guess not anymore. I'll avoid it whenever possible if it's that crappy these days.
