Should be just fine. Olin makes Winchester ammunition, as they own the trademark and license it to FN for guns. Affordable range ammunition made in USA with standard components.
It's good. I don't know about their white box 5.56 ball ammo, but their white box 7.62 X 25 ammo is made in the Czech Republic. Very high quality stuff.
My how times have changed! You used to be able to buy that at most any LGS for $3.99 a box not long ago. From what I have seen it is as good as any 223 ammo out there for plinking. Enjoy
Every source I have seen says the Winchester metric 7.62x25mm was made in Czech Republic but headstamped there for Winchester import.
The Winchester white box in American calibers (.223, 9mm, .45) are made in USA.
Thats a package of Winchester USA ammo from over 10 years ago if I am remembering correctly. They changed out of the USA/stars logo and went to a more plain box similar to these 5.56 M855 62 gr. FMJ loads afterwards.
The 55 gr box is now printed with red Winchester printing instead of the black ink. (New .223 looks similar to what is on this box of 9mm ammo from 2013.)
Its good target ammo with reloadable brass cases. As the guys said; blast away!
Old Winchester "white box" Fine ammo back when you could get American ammo cheap. I also remember it for 3.99 a box but some special sales like at Dicks when they we're gun friendly 3 boxes for 10.00. Used a lot in my Mini 14.
I just opened this case of Federal ball yesterday. Invoice is dated 08-16-2001, a month before the WTC terrorist attack. My "rotation" got out of sequence somewhere along the way, probably when I got 13,500 rds of WWB 9mm in 2004 for $3.88/box 50 from local Bass Pro. Ammo is "good as new." Joe
Scrod - in addition to plinking/target use, this ammo is good for deep penetration is "soft targets" where it can break bones if necessary.
Enjoy the ammo.
