    I bought a 500 bulk pack of Remington .................. Once.

    Got consistent misfire in several pistols and rifles.

    It was also a lottery if they were sub or supersonic.

    Changed to Federal bulk packs and have a good run with them but they are in short supply in this neck of the woods at the moment.

    So last weekend I had a choice of Winchester 555 bulk pack or the Remington bulk pack.

    Too Tight to buy .22 in boxes of 50.

    I chose the Winchester and guess what?

    Bloody misfire after misfire in both my S&W41 pistol and my Remington 552 Speedmaster rifle

    I wish they'd bring back the ICI Rabbit board ammo that's all I can say.

    Cheers
    Pete

    I've shot 1000's of the 333 or 555 Winchester stuff and thankfully have hardly had any misfires, plenty of subsonics though.
    Is it possible that it's the guns not the ammo to blame?

    I've had a few 333 boxes and I don't think I've ever had a miss fire, with any ammo that I can think of. May be a common problem here, your pin is to short

    Sent from my workbench
    If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.
