Decided to shoot my New Bearcat today using Win & CCI ammo. Fired the CCI ammo first which performed really well. CCI all gone opened; the box of Win ammo expecting to continue shooting. Discovered the Win ammo won't go in the cylinder charge holes unless I pressed really really hard, so thought the CCI left my revolver too dirty. Decided to end the range time, go home and thoroughly clean the gun.
Before cleaning the New Bearcat I tried chambering the Winchester ammo in my other 22s, chambered perfectly. So, gave the revolver a good cleaning, no signs of any residue/lead build up, patch stays clean. Tried inserting the win into the cylinder, won't go: tried federal & cci, loaded fine.
Reckon I'll not be attempting to use Win ammo in the New Bearcat again.
Curious if other New Bearcat users had similar experience with Winchester ammo.
