I've got a question, I have a 500 round box of "Remington High Velocity 22 Long Rifle" there is no name of, "Golden Bullet, Thunderbolt or Taget 22. So will these work or are they going to have some issues? This is several years old, but still in great shape.

I ordered some of these the other day from Gander Mountain, Winchester® 22 LR M-22 Ammunition, 40-gr, 1,000-count, Reg. $54.99 Sale.$39.99
Ammo arrived today "Cyber Monday"
..... will be going to the range to try it out on Tues. 11/29/11 Wincheter M22 AMO
Hello everybody – long time reader – long time owner - first time poster
.
I need a second opinion on Winchester M22 ammo.
Yesterday I was testing new M22 (from Cabelas – purchased about a week ago) - fired about 300 rounds.
And I’m very disappointed:
1. Ammo was extremely dirty (empty shells sometime half black from smoke!)
2. Ammo sound very inconsistent (almost like “Golden bullets”)
3. Somme bullets in box are very shinny and some brass was spotty.
4. Ejection also was very inconsistent – some cases were dropping on the table some flying 15 feet
Now – my MP15-22 is always clean after every trip to the range.
After that CCI Automatic and Winchester X work just fine.
Temp during target practice was 53-55F
Humidity about 65%
Is that “bad box” of M22 or is that typical for new Winchester M22 product?

Went to my local indoor range this afternoon, haven't gone shooting in 3-4 weeks so I was pretty rusty with both the 15-22 and the 9mm handgun. I brought a box of this with me, my first time using any federal product:
Shot the entire box of 325, only had a problem with 1-round that kind of freaked me out. On the 9th round out of my 10 round magazine, the shot felt VERY weird. I've only been shooting for a year but this round didn't feel or sound right at all. I think I heard powder hit the lane divider to my right. I thought I got a squib load or the case ruptured? I'm not entirely sure but I assumed it was a squib so I ejected the round but lost it in all of the empty cases of .22lr and 9mm(There was a round on the ground with no primer hit, I guess the bad round's cartridge ejected). Dropped the magazine and locked the bolt back to inspect but couldn't see anything from there. Took it down and there was no bullet in the barrel, just quite a bit of unburnt powder. Nothing wrong with the bolt, extractor n' all. I continued shooting the rest of the box afterwards and all was good. Pretty cool stuff but I kept shooting low with my Magpul MBUS replacement and I wasn't all that good today so can't see how accurate the stuff is all that well. Still a big fan of CCI Blazer, I can get them for $14-16 of the 525 pack frequently.

Anyone know what this would have been? I cleaned my rifle just now(Too lazy to do it the day before) and there was a lot of brown powder inside my trigger group. There's usually some little grains in there but not this much and of this color. I think I noticed the bullet wasn't seated that well. There was a gap, I think. Don't remember how many I noticed like that

Just came back from the range today with my Son and his wife, shot around 450 rounds of CCI Tactical. Zero failures, worked every shot. Nice thing is bolt was very lightly coated with gases blow by. Looks to be very clean powder. Bullets were tight in the casing, no flyers. Fellows I think I found my ammo for life for my M&P... Although we didn't shoot for accuracy, we were training a new member to my family. She is Canadian and never shot before in her life. She had a great day and for a Green (or RED) shooter, she did very well regarding the safety and handling of the many different weapons. I recommend CCI Tactical ammo, give it a try, I don't think you will be sorry.
Question on Fed Bulk packs
Does anyone know the difference between the following:
1. Federal Blue box Value Pack Load 745.
2. Federal Red Box Value Pack Load 750.
In all respects they are labeled exactly the same.
They shoot the same through all my .22 rifles and pistols
with very close accuracy for both. For me, there is no decernable
difference.
Thanks.
Regards

After shooting virtually nothing but Federal Champion (745) for the last several years, including about 2k through my 15-22, I bought two boxes of CCI Tactical and went to the range today. The results were somewhat anti-climatic considering all the hype and hoopla over them.
The 750 rounds functioned flawlessly, which is what I expected. The accuracy was good, but not a spectacular improvement over the Federal. Groups at both 25 and 50 yards were slightly smaller and there were only a couple of flyers - good performance over all, but not enough of an improvement in my firearm to warrant the difference in cost - especially considering I have another 8K or so of the Federal on hand.
This only proves one thing: every firearm is a law unto itself when it comes to what flavor of ammo it like to digest best.

Essentially the color of the packaging and the quantity. You see the VP most often at WalMart.
Most folks have had poor results with all Winchester loads except the new M-22. And not to start an argument, but it's a magazine, not a clip. With a couple of specific exceptions no guns use clips - clips hold ammo to be inserted into magazines.
I'm glad your wife had a good time.
