Winchester Wildcat .22 Ammo

[jackrabbit000]

Is this stuff any good? It's on sale at Cabela's for $14.99 for a box of 500 until July 2.

About as good as Remington Thunderbolts, IMO.

But give it a try, it might be just the right one for your gun.

 

[Paatz]

I've been shooting that stuff through my MK2, no problems.

I'm not a fan, very dirty. I prefer the Winchester 555 or blazer if I'm going for cheaper stuff

 

[Moparlover]

garbage

 

[ton45-II]

Shoots fine in my rimfires for plinking. Yes dirty but cheap and consistent.

 

[luke s]

Shoots worse in my semis than the equally cheap thunderbolts. Lots of ftf, fte, duds

 

[quackquack]

Federal seems to be better if you're looking for cheap bulk.

They recycle OK, in any semi-auto I tried them in.
But that is the end of me saying anything good about Winchester Wildcat.
The most inaccurate of any 22 ammo tested, in several good quality, scope equipped accurate 22 rifles.

Haha I was thinking the EXACT same thing when I read the title of this thread.

They are poo. At least in every gun I've tried. Exactly on par with the worst ammo money can buy- thunderbolts!!!

My Remington 597 eats them pretty good.
Havent done any accuracy test but i point it and it hits paper/object everytime.

I did buy some Blazer and that 555 box from Winchester but didnt try them out yet.

 

[super7]

That's about $5 cheaper per brick than anything else in these parts. I would buy a pile of it for plinking.

 

[cableguy]

Anytime you can shoot .22 for less than 3 cents is great.

Tried many brands...this is one of the bottom ones.

Much dirtier than others...and a lot more duds

AE and Blazer are first choice.

 

[Dexter Morgan]

I gave away all of my Winchester Wildcat.

Worst ammo I have ever purchased. I couldn't even get it to work in my revolvers.

 

[CanAm]

In my custom 10/22 they are the most accurate of the bulk ammo I have tried.

 

[wayne37]

I have used them for years for small game and never had a problem, and they seem to have a nice crack when you touch them off.

 

[jackrabbit000]

Stupid question but what makes .22 ammo dirty? The primer or the powder they use.

 

[dirt dog]

they work well through my 10/22 no major complaints here

 

[Chem]

They worked pretty great for me as well, one of the rounds that my rifle prefers so far, only 1 or 2 duds in about 500 rounds so far.
