[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anyone use Browning 22 LR ammo?

Posted: 10/21/2016 11:04:56 PM EDT

Just picked up several boxes of Browning BPR 22 LR ammo. Shot 60 or so rounds in my Ruger Single Six. Seems very accurate and impact is closer to aim then other companies I have used. Only issue was tough insertion of the rounds into the cylinder chambers. Was wondering who else has shot this ammo and what your thoughts are.

I have heard that it is made by Olin aka Winchester and is rebranded Super-X.

I have not shot any because of the price but reviews have been mostly positive except for semi auto's.

I took it shooting again today and ran it through a Beretta Bobcat. That gun is so finiky with ammo. The Browning ammo ran well. 1 failure to fire and 2 failures to feed where my slide would go into battery. With how picky my gun is this is great ammo.

The 400rd bulk pack?

I got one of those to try from a local shop for $19+tax. If it shoots decent I will go back for more.

Yep. The 400 round pack. Nice price. I paid $26.99 and that was the cheapest price by $3 from other stores.

I am also fairly sure it is a form of Winchester...

Quote....

" Browning and Winchester developed this full line of ammunition products under the Browning brand, which will debut in January, 2016. The Browning Ammunition portfolio includes popular ammunition offerings in rifle, shotgun, handgun and rimfire, featuring advanced technologies for hunters and shooters. “It is a tremendous opportunity to partner with Winchester, the world’s leading manufacturer of ammunition for shooters and hunters,” said Hall. Winchester is responsible for product development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. "

That said... I have fired some of the Browning and it was GTG.. from my rifle not the most accurate... but perfectly respectable.
