Great ammo!! Review by Willie

I had to throw my 10 cent's worth into this debate on Winchester Wildcat ammo, and from the first let me say I use more ammo that the average with 4 of us shooting sage rats in Eastern Oregon, I have a bunch of Winchester Model #52s in various barrel types up the bull barrels, we did a lot of research looking for inexpensive ammo that would be accurate al 100 yards and would still have the hitting power at that range.
We have shot over 5.000 rounds on many a three day trip and as we are all pretty competitive, we went looking for the right ammo with intense dedication to the task. We tried various Winchester and Remington ammo and pretty mush any brand we could buy in a specialty Sporting Goods store.
We found that all the #52 with the same ammo shot the same, regardless of the barrel size but when the barrels were hot, the reason for the bull barrels were pretty obvious and while we all had 20 power or larger Lyman or Unerty scopes we did enjoy two sessions at a friend’s 100 yard range trying out all the ammo.
Remember our criteria was both accuracy and hitting power, and while the Fiocchi ammo was by far the most accurate, it had no velocity at 100 yards, it was not what we wanted. Out of all the others the one we all decided on was the Winchester Wildcat as it was the most accurate with the required velocity at 100 yards.
Before I moved to Samoa, we used three Model #52 Winchesters to shoot over 5,200 rounds in one day, and killed over 4,000 sage rats on one ranch, and it was with this ammo that I shot a fly that happened to land on one of our targets at 100 yards! Without a witness I would have never have been able to say that.
Remember we are all shooting this ammo through bolt actions and very rarely do we have a feeding problem, I have never had a misfire! (Posted on 1/22/13)

Good Training to clear jams Review by ckretzma

Based on other reviews I was expecting this ammo to perform well. That was definitely not the case. I used it in three different guns that have performed very consistently with other ammo. This stuff would fail to eject and jammed in all three guns around 30% of the time. This would probably have been fine for my old Remington single shot .22 rifle, but that gun got stolen.

Winchester Wildcat Review by Terry

These seem to be good for all around plinking. I only have a 10-22 with a STOCK barrell, so can't expect tack driving performance. We have an aspirin shoot at 50 yards coming up so I will let you know how they worked.
They do seem more accurate than the Rem Thunderbolt.

Great service Review by Dan

I purchased the case late Wednesday night and it arrived Saturday morning. Tracking allowed me to ensure I was home to sign for the package. The price was comparable to what I would pay at local sporting goods stores, but the convenience of having 5000 rounds delivered to my doorstep made it worth paying the shipping fee.

Good Value Review by booker

Bought 5000 rounds of this Winchester Wildcat .22LR from LuckyGunner and it was shipped to my door within three days. Good price and fast shipment, so no complaints there. This was my third LG purchase and I'll be back for more.

I've only shot a few dozen rounds, but the ammunition performed well in a Ruger Mark III Target. Reliable feeding/ejecting and sufficiently accurate for plinking and practice. One bullet was deformed (missing nearly half of its material) and had to be discarded. I haven't inspected the case but so far it is the only defect. (Posted on 8/23/12)

This is my second order with Lucky Gunner and like the first one the service and price cannot be beat. Absolute great website and company. Can't recommend enough. I post this site all over all the forums I'm on and Facebook. Super deals, wholesale pricing. My gun dealer said he gets his ammo at these prices. (Posted on 7/16/12)
