Winchester 22LR Ammo Recalled!

[MoutonNoir]

Update

called the US 1 800 number, and a lady very quickly took the lot number, and all my mail coordinates (looking good so far), and then put me on hold for a minute. No talk of shipping back. She came back on and said i would just need to call a (sp?) Kerry Myles 705-749-0622, Cdn Rep, to get looked after.

Called Mr. Myles, who was very polite and answered directly on the first ring. Unfortunately, the only info he had was to ship back to US, which I explained was not a satsifactory option for various well known reasons. He said he would check it out and get back to me. Will report results once known...

Mr. Myles has called back and advised that Winchester is sending coupons to him via UPS and he is sending to me directly. A timely and welcome response. Not sure I understand why they are doing it this way, but I am happy they are sending coupon without the hassle and cost of packaging and returning ammo.

I talked to the Guy is Ontario on Wed of this week and I got my Ammunition Certificates in the mail Friday.

I had two bulk packs of the ammo on Recall and they sent me $40.00 in Certificates.

Great job Winchester

It looks like they never learned any lessons from 2001

.22LR Winchester recall

I really doubt a .22 double charge would dammage a good condition rifle or even handgun.
The Walmart manager said he would reimburse any box of ammo when I first found out from the sports clerk this ammo was pulled off the shelf. Came home and checked the lot number and it didn't match the recall batch no.
Anybody knows for sure if a .22 double charge would cause much dammage if any ?
