Have to wonder about anyone that bought some in the first place...

I have 3 or 4 bricks of this stuff will have to go check.

I wonder how much of an overcharge it would take to actually damage a modern .22LR.

I had one round years ago blow the back out of a .22 LR in my 1022, Case stayed in the chamber and the gun tried to cycle another round. I was actually able to get the case out and continued to shoot the rest the brick of Federal Lightings.

Winchester M-22 has always been junk.
Everyone I know that has ever used it had problems with it.
The biggest problem was failure to fire.
I will say it again.
Winchester M-22 has always been junk.
