Winchester 333

[eldiablo13666]

Does anyone have any feed back on the Winchester 333 .22 ammo. My local gun shop has a box on sale for 9.99. I shoot a 10/22 and Sig pistol, my other guns will shoot just about anything but my Ruger and Sig seem to only like certain ammo.

I only use the Winchester 333/555 ammo. It evidently will not cycle thru some semis but each gun is different and will choose the ammo it likes the best. Try a few different manufacturers and see which type it likes. Many say that 10-22s do not like 333s, but my Mossberg and Marlin semis as well as my Winny 490 semi cycle them just fine. It could be the rough lead that causes the problem or the casing shape. From the gist of the threads, I think the stock extractor seems to cause many problems with many different ammo types.

Don't be so cheap, get the good stuff!

they shoot well in my sr-22,10/22,22/45,remingtonVTR,glenfeild70 and my ithaca lever action

My 10/22's like 'em better than the Federal 525's.....

My 10/22, Marlin 81DL and S&W 17 like it.

Strangely though, my Beretta 71 which is famous for reliably feeding and extracting almost anything chokes on 333s. They stick on the feed ramp coming out of the magazine on the first round when I drop the slide.

For the money you cant beat them. They fire perfect in the cz cadet.

You could easily spend more without getting something better. I find that the Winchester 333/555 is no different in accuracy from Winchester Super X, or most other HV hollow point ammunition and it works just fine in my .22s.

What I consider "good" .22 ammo is standard velocity target ammo that sells for upwards of $40.00/brick. For most uses, the additional expense over promotional bulk ammo is unnecessary.

At that price pick up as much as you can!

 

[luke s]

that is not even remotely a good price

 

[L0veM0nKeY]

Only 1 way to find out!
Just try it!

I am wondering where you are buying it for a better price than that.

 

[luke s]

im not...

Hate to be the only "Negative Nelly" here...I didn't read what OP was going to run them through..

My Cooey 64's will not eat them. Obviously, my single shot will but, I do better with Federal Champions(525 bulk) and, CCI Blasers (500 bulk) which, my semi's like too.

I'm using it in my Ruger 10/22, AR-15 with Spike's .22 conversion kit, and SIG 226 classic (.22) and it works fine in all of them.

That sounds like good price.
