I've been having issues in several semi autos I have with the winchester 333. I find that the bullets are loose in the casing, more than just able to spin the bullet in the case, actually able to angle the bullet to one side. I'd noticed several time loading various mags that I've angled the bullet, and when this happens the gun generally fails to feed the bullet. Last night on my last shot with a 10/22, the 22 actually fed the bullet, but it didn't fire. I poked the bullet out with a cleaning rod, the bullets had been scraped loading in to the barrel and the case had been creased.
I've always had good luck with Federal bulk 550 packs, and now trying out the CCI blazers. 40 grain, round nose, coated lead, they feed good in everything so far, although I have not tried them in my 15-22 yet. I know people say they have no problems with Winchester, but I'm done with them now. They are only slightly better then the Remington Golden bullets for me, but at least the Remingtons function flawless in my 597's (which happen to hate the winchesters).
