Winchester M-22 Problems


Recommended Posts

Ran about 150 M-22s thru a new Ruger 22/45 today with nary a hiccup. Will be goin back to the range over the next week with a 10/22, CZ 452 and a Colt Woodsman, and will run quite a few M-22s thru those. Bought these at Wally World - $45/1K.

I recently found a 1000 round box at Wally World, after not seeing any .22 for over a year.   I started out loading up my Heritage Rough Rider, All 6 rounds fired but 5 of the 6 spent casings would not eject from the cylinder.  I ended up removing the cylinder and using a rod and small hammer to drive them out.  Same results for the next 6.  None of these were snug when loading.  This revolver has 500 rounds through it with out problems using Federal HP,  Winchester HP and some Aguilla.  I am afraid to try this in anything else.  I sent Winchester an email but have not had a response as yet.  Do I have bad ammo or just a compatibility issue here?  I would like your input.

Check your lot number to see if you have some of the bad batch.

I sent mine back to Winchester.  I'll keep you posted.  By the way, my email was unanswered after 9 days so I called them and left a message.  They returned the call within two hours.

 

UPDATE:  After 6 weeks I did receive a check from Olin (Winchester), although I would rather have received replacement ammo.  I do have o give them credit for making it right. 

 

I never seem to get to the places that have .22LR for less than $10 per round so I will be shooting 9mm for a while.
