| Have any of you tried this WinClean ammo by Winchester? I picked up a box of it to give it a try. I am guessing by the name it is a cleaner ammo. Maybe it will help in my filthy 9mm AR. |

I've used it with satisfaction in .45 ACP. I've heard reports of it being less reliable in ignition due to the clean priming compound so I wouldn't use it when the SHTF. The primer hole is larger on these cases but I have not seen any differences in the reloaded cases when they are fired. Kent |
Was going to post something important, but I fell of the wagon tonight... Best not say anything. I've been shooting Winchester Non Toxic in my 40 S&W, It seems powerful in recoil, and the emptys come out super clean...(I can't be certain but I think they might be Non-Toxic Super clean)Other than some unidentifiable granule looking shi*t in the cases and barrel it's OK by me. It pretty much looks as though I could just reload the cases without running through the tumbler. Sly |

There was enough yellow residue to cause one of my .45s to choke, an FTF, which it hasn't done in over 10 years and not since discontinuing use. It just builds up and finally gets in the way of a round trying it's best to chamber. If it works for you, great, I will just avoid it myself other than for some range use because I couldn't find anything else. |
Wow,...never saw that happen.  I get black, burnt powder residue in the barrel, but that is absolutely all. Ive been using WinClean 45,and 40 for years now. |
| I've used this n 9mm and .45. I find it to be pretty clean. When I took a box of .45 to the indoor pistol range, Mr. 18 year old guy there told me I couldn't use it on their range. Something about the filtration system of the air or something? Not sure what that was about but I've been there before with it and no one else has ever said anything about it. Just this one young guy. |
