Hi all,
I have some failures to feed in my 10/22 with this stuff, maybe the odd misfire too.
IS this stuff any good at all or are Winchester just having a laugh?

Always worked in the magtec, come to think of it, everything had worked in it except remington ammo.
It wasn't too accurate though unlike the winchester in the 50round boxs
Power Point has always run, almost flawlessly and accurately in my gun, only failing if the guns a but gummed up i think
power point that's them! I called them 50round boxes cause I forgot what they were called lol
Crap.
get powerpoint.

Not as good as Power Point, but better than the bulk Federal .22. I ended up with 26 duds out of the box I had.
I buy it when taking the mates kids shooting 555 disappears fast in a 10/22 with the kids plinking on steel targets
its not the most accurate but plenty good enough for plinking or blowing possums away has the odd misfire say 2 per 555 box but you turn it around and try again and it goes
bets the federal bulk box hands down but
Yes Power Point is the best.
but $100 a brick.
The heavier PowerPoint $120 a brick.
I got about 1000 555.
Then got a case of it cheap as chips, oh well if its complete crap itll be a giggle at the range and keep the brick and a half of power point for actual hunting.
Federal worked perfect in my marlin, only problem was the projectiles were bloody near a solid, they opened so little
From what I can understand this was a BAD batch of PowerPoint made in the states not Australia and sold in bulk packs to get rid of it
This is only what I have herd from a couple of sources
my kids are half way through their second box of 555 with their bolt actions and zero duds.
i have to admit the more expensive winchester subs and high velocity seems to be more accurate at longer ranges, but for general plinking i would get another box of 555 for $45, its a bargin.
Im inclined to believe that too as American power point is lighter. But there seems to be a shit load of this ammo aboutQuote:

It works reliably in my semi, and I don't seems to get any more duds than I usually get from other ammo.
It kill's bunnies, hares and possums and dead as any other 22 stuff I've used recently.
It shot heaps better than the Federal bulk stuff. Have never tried Remington bulk though.
Its been the only high velocity ammo I've run through my 22s for a few years.
Not particularely accurate in mine, minute of rabbit though, and accurate enough to be fun.
Be fine in a 10/22, but if its only plinking then CCI standards all the way
@savageshooter The very odd one maybe 1-2 per 555 round box but you just put them back in the mag so the fireing pin will hit a drifrent spot and they will go missfires are normaly attrubuted to a break in the primeing cord that shoud go all the way round the case sometimes with cheep ammo there can be a gap in the cord if the fireing pin hits the gap it wont go off so simply change the spot where it will strike and try again 90 percent of the time it will go
This even happens with pricey target ammo just not as offen i seemed to have one every 2000-3000 rounds of laupa a little of a pain if your shooing a match but you just turn it 180 and try again
