If you have any questions concerning this 22 Long Rifle rimfire ammunition recall please call toll-free , write to Winchester Powder Mill Road, East Alton, IL Attn: There have been rumors that ammo QC has been slipping over the last year.

This risk to shooters is aggravated in this instance, because M22 ammo was specifically designed to be used in AR-style semiautomatic.

Long Rifle

A bolt-action or break-open. But a straight-blowback semiautomatic. This miserable story is a reminder that even the lowly. That stuff would be great out of my Ruger Single Six convertible.

My thoughts exactly, plenty of steel on that cylinder around the chambers. At a severly reduced price of course, it is defective after all. Seriously, if anyone wants to send me their defective stuff so I can run it out of my Ruger Single Six. I have a box of it , unfortunatley I emptied it and mixed it with another box into those nice little round plastic storage boxes.. I know that of them are bad… out of I would be interested in buying some of your recalled I also did a mental inventory of my.

The others, I thought, not so much. Probably OK in the The idea is that the brass expands tight against the chmber wall and would not split. Then where the heck has it all been going? I am skeptical that their. That is just CCI. However, when you take into account the number of new shooters, Newtown aftermath, and the prepper frenzy that was building even prior to the latest panic…that number looks miniscule….

Check the DHS section at Warehouse I have an extremely reliable source that is in the gov. About 9 months ago, they told me roughly what you are saying.

The gov gets priority dibs on ammo. They are indeed effectively keeping out of civies hands by buying it up. Yes it is true the government put a lock on all caliber,pistol,rifle and shotgun rounds,10 billion of each, so you can guess why, to be ready for the b.

So yes,it will be quite awhile before they all actually hit the market full bore again. I have can app that shows restricted airspace…and at several military installations they have been destroying the ammo and guns…daily for months at a time…burning it. I live near a large military post and folks are always finding government property in interesting places. No need to check my stockpile, would of had to help the driver unload the truck to score a brick of.

I have an unopened round box of that stuff sitting on my shelf back home. I seem to have 2 thousand round boxes of it sitting in my closet. If you exceed the CUP pressure bad things happen. Please excuse my ignorance — is there really sufficient room in the cartridge casing for a double ration of powder?

A charge that is technically twice the normal charge? An overcharge, which may have been caused by the automated machinery TRYING to double-charge a case, and the excess falling out as the bullet is seated? I dont know about 1. It would be interesting to me to see what sort of load and pressures it would take to make a modern firearm in good repair fail dangerously with a.

I think many internal parts would suffer failure before it got to dangerous levels. I did say it would ruin the gun, and having seen multiple. In one case, the plastic AR-style upper receiver had to be replaced with a new one due to a hole caused by the burst case. I would also say that many folks underestimate the explosive power of a.

I once saw a. I called BS on it, but he took it down and let me examine it closely, and there was no evidence of anything but a plugged bore bulge where the split began , and it had a. As I mentioned, parts failures are more likely to occur than a dangerous failure. Barrel obstructions are completely different animal than over-pressure in the chamber.

Dammit, I found a brick of M about a year ago. No primer compound in the primer… OAL way too long…. Now double charges in. M has been really good for me. In fact, it is my preferred. I luckily couldnt find any of it the past year, so this doesnt affect me. But from previous lots I had very very few failures, think match grade stuff failure levels.

How many FTFs do you have on average? I shoot Eley supposed to be good and have a FTF or two every rounds. I am especially interested in CCI standard velocity. With M, I shot a round box on a single outing and had less than 10 FTF I think the exact number was 4 or 5.

I have had similar experiences with every other use of M, but never count FTFs. I dont think match grade is worth it unless you have a rifle where it would make a difference, and you care that much about small variations in accuracy.

It makes a difference to me since I shoot with a dollar target rifle. That and its pretty quiet subsonic out of a 50 cm that is 20 inch barrel. This is the third. There were also recalls in and , and the recall was for the same problem but not in the M; it was a different load.

Just checked mine and they are different lot numbers. Thanks for this article. If you bored out a bolt. Also, my single six gives a nice blast as not all of the WMR powder is burned by the time the bullet exits the muzzle probably the same in the LR cylinder with an over charge. Does this affect anyones comments? A case where you increase the numerator while simultaneously reducing the divisor.

The resultant pressure could be beyond WMR. I know little of the micro physics of cartridge inter action so this is a question or theory not a rebuttal. As soon as a pressure threshold is reached, the bullet moves down the barrel and increasing the effective volume of the case as is the situation of a muzzle loader. The barrel becomes the case. With a straight case as opposed to a bottle neck it would seem as though the bullet itself would act as a pressure release blow off valve.

The small friction surface area of the 40gr. I can see a cycling problem in an auto loader with split cases and flaming debris out of the breech but in a bolt gun the only way out is down the barrel. The bullet is what is going to give. Any firearm physicist out there? Had a single M22 bullet case rupture in my pistol last year.

Thankfully all it did was cake my hands with powder. I probably had one of those bad lots. I hope those are the only lot affected. Glad mine appears to have missed the bad lots; this stuff cycles nicely in my AR with 22LR upper…. If they want my recalled ammo they will need to send me a case for every recalled box. Well make sure to smack my brother next time I see him… He works at the factory that makes it.

In my experience, Winchester. I generally avoid it if possible. The recall is only for TWO LOTS of M Then we get to wait and maybe in something might happen. Still going to have to check the ammo cans to be sure. Wonder if you were stupid enough to pay ten or twelve times the right price for it if they will reimburse what ya paid?

As mistakes go, this is a pretty bad one to let out of the factory. I can see a bad primer in a box, but boxfulls of overcharged rounds? Is there no lot testing? Seriously, no random sampling of the lot prior to shipping? Still not impressed with Winchester leaving out any details on compensation or replacement. I bought rd M22 just a couple of weeks ago, for my dad.

He just got a Ruger Single 6 convertible. Figured he would be fine, tank after all. But checked anyways and gtg. Anyone that has info would be appreciated.

The casing must have a big air pocket if they can stuff twice the power in it. I bought five thou rounds of the 22 Golden Bullet Short. Freaked me out with my mod Could we just weigh every round? What else do i have to do while watching the Olympics? Mine are stamped 2GD52L are these in the recall? Just called them,They are in the recall. They wanted to mail me a check till i told them i wanted replacement ammo. I will check my ammo box tonight. Had a blowback on Friday. Now the shell, minus the rear of it which was ejected, is stuck , as in welded, to the walls of the chamber.

I had used half of the big box of ammo before this happened. Yes, definitely contact them on that. They will at least replace the ammo, and at this point you know it should at least be well inspected ammo. Hopefully they have eliminated the cause of the problem by now.

Be sure not to scratch the chamber walls clearing that, and do a long session twirling the chamber brush to polish it out well. Besides being double charge, how did they get the bullet into the case with that much powder in it.

So I had an interesting day today, was out plinking the pretty much new Ruger and happened to be using this ammo that I had no idea there was any problems. Anyway had a dead round first, I assumed no powder, OK no biggie have seen this in the past however about 40 rounds later pretty much through the hundred pack I had and BOOM!!!

Ammunition in Walmart, 5 Cents a Round

Yes double charge thankfully I had eye protection on, it sounded like a round going off smoke bellowing out of the receiver and barrel, but thanks to new Kidd bolt I had just installed it ejected the shell.

Thank God no barrel or internal damage so far. Definitely got a face full of Winchester excrement this kind of thing really pisses me off, will not be buying anymore of this ammo again!!!? Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email.
