I fired 100 rounds of WB out of my 686 last week

Thanks for posting this. I've got a couple boxes but not from those lots. You'll find the lot number on the inside flap.

Thanks for the heads-up. I went and checked a couple of boxes I have.

 

[Frank46]

Did Winchester give any dates as to when the three lot numbers were made?. Thanks, Frank

No manufacture dates were mentioned, but it was all packaged as the 100 round "value pack"

I just opted not to buy that at the range the other day. LOL. Good thing. I bought a 50 rd box of Federal instead. God was looking out for me I guess.

ETA: I got the same email.

 

[Frank46]

I checked a few of the 100 round value packs and all showed a a lot number starting with an "L" All the affected mentioned lots begin with a "K"
one of the 100 round value packs was recently purchased at wally world. Frank

Don't have any, but here is the notice.

What scares me is how did Winchester know to email you at all. Is there really a deep state ?

I won't go into Deep State ... don't need a ding.

They know me well, as I report anything that does not work as advertised. I've somehow managed to own a lot of the ammo lots they've recalled over time.
