    Not too shabby... wind didn’t succeed surprisingly.

    Y’all have a good afternoon. Gotta catch up on some of that beauty sleep :cool:

    Not a fan of Winchester. Maybe 2-3 boxes of win in this pile

    This actually does sound like a problem with the firearm. Winchester is reliable ammo I've never had any problems running their stuff.

    But first things first, check the bottom of the jackets that didn't fire, look for the dimple from the firing pin.

    Got stuck behind this guy quite a while. Ol' Lawn Dart drove like the boss was riding shotgun.

    I fired 50 Winchester and had about 6-7 duds. Fired about 25 CCI rounds after I used up the Winchester with no issues. Every dud had a mark from the firing pin.

    Even my shot groupings at 50 yards tightened up quite a bit when I started feeding it the CCI rounds.

    White box Winchester is one of the cheaper, and lower quality ammunitions available. Not that it's bad, just not as good as others, even some of their other products that have a more stringent manufacturing process.

    It's possible that the firearm you're using just doesn't like it. Guns can be quirky that way.

    If the firing pin left a good dimple in the cap on the misfires, then I would say you got into a run of bad rounds, which I've heard of happening. You can compare one of the misfires to a spent casing. The strike mark will tell you.

    I've had very good luck with Pvri Partizan ammo for plinking
