Winchester M22 Rimfire Ammo is SOOOOOOO Bad

It's funny how what works for one guy may not work at all for someone else. For the longest time many years ago, Wildcat ammo was considered a gem in the rough -- guys would sort it by weight and rim thickness, and then go on to use it as benchrest or match ammo. Myself, I used to shoot it by the 5,000 round flat and went through more than a few ... and I found it to be extremely good stuff for the price. And a lot of that shooting was with a 10/22 and a Ruger MkII. I still shoot the stuff, but it's still from my last big purchase back in 1997. Really! It was a BIG purchase!
But I guess times may have changed and the quality that was may have been replaced by quality that no longer is.Oh, and for those who are curious ... the 1997 price for Wildcat ammo was $134.99 per 5,000 rounds. Oh, to dream...
I disagree, reviews matter. Yes I've left mine at their offices. I've sent it down the barrel of 8+ rifles, bolt, semi, and lever, I merely state it's among the worst stuff I've used. I've shot Win, Ely, RWS, CCI, Browning, Aguila, S&B etc. but having said that it is just my opinion. But my opinion is backed by data like I showed in the video above. If it works for you congratulations, but I'm not seeing as large of numbers saying it's great stuff. I am seeing a lot of people that say it works, that's different from someone sounding like a rave review. I'm not moaning about it, merely pointing out there's better for the same price. But .22lrs a very finicky about ammo, I owned 2 same models of the 10/22 they preferred different ammunition.
Excellent survival rifle, that gets overlooked by many. It's like a hammer with very few parts to go wrong and very compact .
