I bought 1500 rnds of this stuff and just shot a couple hundred rounds through an M&P15-22 (semi-auto) rifle. I had no failures to feed. Every single round functioned great without issue. I was very impressed. This stuff is much better than the Remington high velocity 22LR (green box) that I was testing it against. I have come to realize that quality 22LR ammo can make or break a .22 semi-auto rifle. I would strongly recommend this ammo due to reliability and I love SGAmmo's excellent customer service.

I bought a brick of this Winchester Xpert HV HP 22lr when SG first got this in and I am extremely happy with this ammo. This stuff shoots great out of my rifle and my pistol, a two-fer! Great ammo for plinking and having some good old fashioned fun with the family. I'm back to buy a case because at this price this stuff is sure to sell out soon. Just thought I would put my 2 cents in. Sgammo has been my go to ammo dealer for quite awhile. Great service and fast shipping. Best place to buy ammo period.

I've got a box of that stuff, same white box, from about 8 years ago never made it thru all 550rnds couldn't get it to feed any of my semi .22s and it would jam in the chamber of my bolt gun.

true i heard of a lot of issues of the old stuff . maybe they fixed the production issues remember back then it was mass produce because of the 22lr shortage craze

I don't buy HV anything anymore except Mini-mags for use in a Henry AR7. In most all of my 22LR rifles, anything supersonic is not as accurate as subsonic. Wolf/SK Match, CCI Standard, and Remington SS are about as inexpensive as I allow myself to buy. Above that it's Eley and others.

That stuff was the worst .22 LR I've ever shot. It gummed up my Ruger Single Six and S&W Model 18. The one gun that digested it with minimal problems was a 1948-vintage Remington 550-1.

i was shooting high velocity with my Remington 597 and phoenix 22 did good with it and its a better at penetration for self defense if in a pinch
this is the brass one just like the lead xpert bullet with large hollow point

still got some.....these are at least 5years old, probably closer to 10

The bullets are too bid in diameter & will not function in any of autoloaders. They work fine in the bolt guns though. I bought some of the Browning labeled Winchester a few years back & had the same problem. When .22lr ammo won't function in my nylon 66, something is wrong.

will see soon

if it works in my rem 597 archangel like they did here

LoonWulf · Nov 2, 2019

it's pretty beat up now, but I'll try shoot it the next time I go out. I've got two new .22s since I bought that box.....well I've had a few actually, but only still have 2 lol
