There's a thread around here somewhere with several having issues with Winchester .22lr. USed to be good when it was made is Australia now it's dirty and greasy, inaccurate, and prone to misfires, feeding issues, and rim thickness variations.

I was told it was to do with the shape of the projectilies on the american made stuff, and yes I do use CCI, i had to opt for winchester because at the time they didnt have any CCI in stock and I was also trying to diagnose a fault in a gun where I was told the particular make of rifle didnt like CCI.
So I have a few winchester rounds in surplus that I will probably just use for plinking.

I also see gun city have a supply of australian made winchester available, is this just NOS?
