Winchester X-perts are horrible!

by Dave B

 

Hey all. I went to the range yesterday, and decided to try out these winchester x-pert JHP's. They come in a bulk pack from Wal Mart. They fed fine into my Marlin Bolt Action, but were not accurate at all (I thought I had read that they were resonably accurate). Then I got out my 22/45, thinking I could get it to eat up half of this bulk pack before I left. To my dismay, every 3rd round was catching on the feed ramp, and leaving a nice little gash in the bullet nose. This ammo has a very wide and deep hollow point, but Ive never seen this before. I usually use Federal bulk pack, and than the Wolf MT or CCI stuff for serious work. The winchester x-perts, however, will never make it into my ammo stockpile. Anyone else had this experience? I know one should try different ammo, to see what works best, but this ammo had such severe feeding problems, it was hard to believe these were 22 LR, as my ruger eats up EVERYTHING i put in it.
