I was given a box of the Winchester white as a gift. It was thoughtful, but I may slap the gift giver after how long it took to clean up from the filthy powder. I shot 2 guns yesterday, one a xd mod 2, and one a S & W Victory (both great shooters!). The xd took the wwb, and the victory took the CCI which are well regarded as perfect ammo in a 22 for a few reasons, one being how clean they run.
After 50 rounds in the xd, it took me an hour and a half to get almost everything cleaned out of the gun. Every single wipe came up with more crud. I keep them very clean, so this was only from the 50 rounds I had just shot. Every one of the rounds went bang and were accurate, so that was about the only positive.
The Victory ran 100 flawless rounds, and with the CCIs I didn't even see anything to clean! Took 20 minutes flat, and it's shiny and perfect.
It's been years since I ran a box of Winchester white, now I remember why. Don't do this to yourself, stick with .......... anything else! For the price also I'm surprised they can still get 20 bucks a box in the store for it, when for the same price you can get many better options.
