Winchester Wildcat

I did a bold thing the other day. I bought 1k rounds of this stuff. The first 500 have been fired just easy shooting with absolutely no troubles what so ever.
Last Friday was our equivalent of indoor hillbilly christmas tree choppin'.
As I stood in front of my ammosafe I decided to grab a full box of 500 rounds of Winchester Wildcat and put my 15-22 to the ultimate ammo test. Throwing 500 wildcats downrange - fast.
I had only 1 failure. Ammo related, not the gun - round wouldn't even go off in a .22 Diamondback revolver.
Only thing I can say is that the grouping is a bit wider with this ammo but hey - if ones choppin' down a christmas tree... who cares?
Just finished cleaning and I haven't found any irregularities.
So here's the question: why does S & W not recommend Winchester Wildcat- ammo?
