![]() I still shoot it for practice- the price is right, and I can reload the brass. It's quite aneomic in velocity, and I have seen it create some FTF. I will have to admit that the Winchester White Box value pack fodder has gone WAY downhill in quality, the last few years. I've bought and fired a lot of WWB, but reports like that scare me off. Including reports of no powder at all! Winchester is currently denying that they're having problems. On inspection of the unfired rounds, there was a large margin in error as to how much powder was in the round. Long story short is that he's seen a lot of guns come through recently that had squib loads from firing WWB. Yep im anouther one just bought a model 86 had one about 10 yrs ago loved it pick up a box of win w box 95gr fmj step out back to test fire got severl hangs and the shot were a little wild. I (for sure) think that it is acceptable for general range and practice use but, unacceptable for self defense and very rapid fire. Let me just guesstimate that for every 10 shooters that report no problems with WWB at lest one shooter has had problems with it. These were taken from MANY different locations on the web and are NOT one single forum post and they are in no way related to each other but are all separate incidents. Here are some random examples found on the Internet. That being said.nearly every spot on the Internet where the topic of WWB is brought up there will always be a at least a few that HAVE had problems & that is something that is rarely seen with all Top Of The Line Ammo makers. With the Huge Plus that it's comparatively inexpensive to shoot. Searching on the Internet for 1.5 hours I honestly and truthfully have discovered MANY shooters that have never had a single problem with WWB Value. My own early personal experience w/ WWB was (count em) 2 squibs and one solid primer strike with a failure to detonate the round - in a single purchase of 500 rounds of WWB and I never have purchased any since. Yes, it is possible to fire thousands of rounds of Winchester White Box without ever having a problem. While I realize that all ammo can have sporadic various assorted & miscellaneous problems - even factoring in the great amount of WWB that is sold - it's reported incident rate seems to be much higher than better quality ammunition. (3) you should probably rethink using WWB Value if you'll be shooting rapid fire at a speed that you're not likely to stop at a squib. (2) If you have a firearm related problem or an accuracy or stovepipe problem and you are shooting WWB - then you should absolutely test your firearm w/ a different brand of ammo before you curse out your firearm. (1) You should probably not carry it for self defense. I am not suggesting that shooters stop using WWB Value Ammo.
