Remember a couple summers ago when ammo was scarce - and shameless mercenaries were asking $30+ for a brick of .22 at the gun shows? I hope none of them actually sold any. I held out and waited.
Finally started finding .22 again in some of the big discount stores later in 2008 and bought a few bricks of Winchester Xpert HV. What garbage.
Sadly, I didn't shoot any of it until recently after using up all my older reliable stuff. Malfunctioned repeatedly in a pistol and three rifles, so I'm satisfied it's not the gun. Just a few FTF, but lots of FTE in the semis. Super inconsistent, some barely making any pop at all. None stuck in the barrels, but I sure got tired of clearing and checking.
So with no receipt, and no ammo returns where I got it, do I have any recourse? Or do I just take my lumps and make sure I never waste a penny on that cr*p again?
Without going "boutique," what's the best common brick of .22 for a stock 10/22? I swear I'll never pounce on a bargain again unless it's a proven brand without such a dismal failure rate.
