Most Helpful Positive Review Winchester Wildcat 22LR ammo
Have been using Winchester brand ammo since 1980, never had an issue or misfire
Most Helpful Negative Review Worst Ammo I ever bought for my Ruger Mark IV Lite
I purchased this based on price and a Utube video review I saw. Boy was it a mistake. After 50 rounds I had such a lead ring build up in the barrel that the bullets were disintegrating on the way out and left no holes in the paper target even from 5 yards away.

Winchester Wildcat .22 Long Rifle 40 Grain Lead Round Nose Brass Cased Rimfire Ammunition

by Mike P, Verified Owner from OK, United States Written on March 9, 2025
I have shot Winchester Wildcat for years. The older version with the orange and red label is what my Ruger SR 22 liked preferred. This latest batch does not match the quality or consistency of the past.
Pros:
  • cost
Cons:
  • Quality and accuracy are questionable
Would recommend: No

Poor quality control

by Chris, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on March 5, 2025
I have been seeing 1-2 failure to fire issues per 100 rounds. Today I had 13 failure to fires out of about 250 rounds. This was with two different firearms and were not due to light strikes. I purchased 5000 and have about 3500 left.

I guess I need to find a replacement ammo.
Pros:
  • Cheap
Cons:
  • Not dependable
Would recommend: No

Pros:
  • pretty clean ammo
  • Consistent performance
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Shoots well

by Jeff, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on February 1, 2025
I’ve shot about 200 rounds from this pack without a single failure. Runs good, not any dirtier or cleaner than some cheaper or more expensive options. Will definitely be purchasing again.
Pros:
  • Price, reliability
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • plinking
Would recommend: Yes

Failure to fire

by Miket.435, Verified Owner from UT, United States Written on January 28, 2025
I’ll never purchase these again. So many failures to fire even when loaded and reloaded in another firearm. Don’t waste your time and money. Federal auto match is way better.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • bad primers
Would recommend: No
