Fella's;
I have several .22's that love the Winchester 40 grain PowerPoint (X22LRPP1). Therefore, I've been buying it whenever I see it. I had been buying it by the case, but that's been hard to do for near a decade now. Nonetheless, I have been able to find it by the brick upon occasion in the last 2 to 3 years.
However, since Winchester is now producing Browning branded rimfire ammo, I think that is also a factor that's been reducing the amount of the W brand you see on the shelves. I wouldn't mind so much if they were doing Browning PowerPoints, but apparently not. I do have a 100 pack of both the Browning & Winchester 40 grain HP at an advertised 1435 fps to test against each other. They should perform the same I'm thinking, but I'm not expecting great results from either of them. My experience has been that the hyper-speed .22's don't give good accuracy. However, the Winnie PP's will shoot to MOA at 100 yards out of my gun off a bench, with rest & bags. They run 1250, vs an advertised 1280 fps over my Oehler 35P.
I also got a MidwayUSA memo that the Winchester 42 grain HP's that I had a notification request in on had been discontinued.
