What is the WORST factory ammo you have ever fired?

12 gauge winchester multi purpose loads from walmart 2 years ago. 4 of the first 5 jammed in my gun. the cases split from the edge by the plastic all the way back to the im. gave them away to a buddy that insisted on using them...

I've had problems with them too.
 
Remington .22LR Vipers

Remington Thunderbolts (.22), they seen to jam the most in my semi. Oddly enough the wildcats everyone is complaining about do a lot better.
 
The cheap Winchester .22 ammo seems to be fairly ####ty. Some misfires and a lot of shots seem to be half as loud as they should be. I'd be reluctant to use them in a semi in case the bullet doesn't exit the barrel and you've rattled off another shot before you've had time to check the barrel.

Forget the brand name(s) but I'll never buy anymore of the cheap imported paper cased shotgun shells ever again!!!

Yeah I had a few jams shooting that out of a Winchester autoloader...cant remember what model of shotty though.
 
Winchester Dynapoint .22lr, none of my .22's will function with this crap. They work fine everything else including the remington subsonics, but not the dynapoints.

I would say winchester Xpert's were the worst ever 22 round I've shot. It was the first box I put through my 10/22 and it had me thinking my gun was a dud.

I had the same problem with these in my 10/22 also, it wouldn't cycle at all on any of the shots. I kept them for when a buddy showed up to do some plinking (he always shows up with no ammo, so he gets what I don't like). I still had half a box of that stuff left when I came home with a Winchester 69A and man I was amazed at how tight the group was with this stuff out of that rifle. My group at 50yards was one on top of the other, I had a hole in the paper from 5 rounds about 3/8", I haven't shot any further with the thing as I can't see past 50 yards out of the dirty old 3/4" scope.
I need a receiver sight to fit on this little dream 22, but can't find one.
 
1- aguilla .22. Dirtied semi-auto's in no time at all,

2- Centaur .30-06, Huge fire-ball at the end of barrel and no accuracy,

3- Winchester 20 g. Super-Speed game loads. Bought a case of these last fall because they were really cheap and about one in three has a dud primer. Not so cheap after all !!!
 
I was running a machine gun course a few years ago when we had one of the C-6's keep misfeeding rounds, the bolt was actually breaking into the side of the cases exposing the propellent. This is not that unusual, however, the fact that I found three different types of propellent in the same belt of ammo was a little strange. Cheapest bidder and all that!! way to go IVI.

.22 - Armscor Precison - high percentage of failure to fire in my semi-rifle and pistols.

12 gauge - Canadian Tire field loads made on Winchester hulls. Jammed my Winchester 1300 pump action after every shot. Put any other brand in the mag and it worked flawlessly.
