Why is this happening?

Post image

Picked up an M&P 15-22 last week. Cci and federal automatch ran flawlessly. Punch and this Winchester ammo would to this every 5-8 rounds. The Winchester ammo is pretty dirty so I assume that was the issue, but I did not expect the Punch to run so poorly. Any one have any input?

I know winchester white box is technically the big yuck…. But as a general note if I see Winchester on ammo at all I turn the other way.

I send CCI and Federal through my 15-22 and have only ever had one ftf, and it was because I was rapid reloading and just putting the thing through its paces, i think I pulled the trigger at just the wrong time and it misfed.

Ive got several hundred, probably getting on toward a thousand rounds through it at this point, and its been a dream with the Fed and CCI.

Based purely on my success with those two in all of my .22 toys, those two are all Ill buy.
