Winchester 333 bulk pack???

[wreckingball]

Hey guys ,
I just bought Winchester 333 Bulk pack ammo and while checking the rounds noticed that all the crimps were lose and the bullets would spin 180 Degree in the shell what should i do? would the be safe to shoot or should i just toss them.

I found the same with the 555 packs (same ammo). I go through bulk packs and take the loose ones out and set them aside for my .22 bolt rifle. The loose ones tend to jam semis.

ok, well i only have a bolt action , so they should be fine or should i worry about them getting lodged into the barrel?

Load and shoot. Works great in my mark2 groups very well, I did notice loose bullets but it hasn't been an issue.
Works in my norinco Woodsman pistol aswell.

I've also noticed this with the bulk packs, though I just shoot them anyways and after 1000's of rounds, no problems. I shoot them through my 10/22 which eats anything so YMMV if your using a pickier gun.

Very common with Bulk Ammo specifically Win and Remy. Hit and miss for me as I had FTEs, FTFs and stovepipes in my pistols and my R 597HB. As long as the slug is not falling off the casing, they should be safe.

333s are one of the few rounds that will jam my Beretta 71 which feeds EVERYTHING else flawlessly.

333s also jam my American Advantage conversion for my GLOCK17.

In both pistols the 333s hang up on the feed ramps and don't chamber.

It works fine in my 10/22 fired wet, in fact it groups well.

333 is a bulk fav, like Geologist says, in my 10/22. They're epic.

I'm glad I saw this thread , I wasn't filtering out the loose ones, and they were causing the odd jam.

Those FTF I use for pushing into a stump and shoot at.
Pewwwwwwf, if you listen carefully.

Quite often i have gotten out of spec shells in centrefire ammo too. just a hiccup in production. But with bulk ammo, they are made so fast and at 4 cents a shell. specs are not for target shooting. Loose ones run fine thru all my bolts and semis. So 333/555s are all i use. But i have found very few loose or dented shells in my supply.
