guys this is a new one in addition to the recall on the wildcats back in april,

here's the specifics of this one:

Olin Corporation, through its Winchester Division, is recalling several lots of rimfire ammunition.

SUPER-X® HIGH VELOCITY (Symbol X22LR) and POWER-POINT® (Symbol X22LRPP)

Lot Numbers containing Letters: XN, YA, YB or YC

Through extensive evaluation Winchester has determined the above lots of SUPER-X HIGH VELOCITY (X22LR) and POWER-POINT (X22LRPP) 22 Long Rifle rimfire ammunition may contain double powder charges. Double powder charge weight ammunition may cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable, and subject the shooter to a risk of personal injury and/or death when fired.

DO NOT USE WINCHESTER SUPER-X HIGH VELOCITY (X22LR) or POWER-POINT (X22LRPP) 22 Long Rifle RIMFIRE AMMUNITION WITH LOT NUMBERS CONTAINING LETTERS XN, YA, YB or YC. The ammunition Lot Number is imprinted (stamped without ink) on the outside of the right tuck flap of the 50-round box, as indicated here:

Will make this one a sticky for the Rimfire Ammunition forum. Thanks, Jim.

I was shooting my 22winmag today and experiecned some brass failing splitting down the middle. I'm trying to find a contact for Winchester does anyone have a phone number. This has never happened before and I've always shot the winchesters. Did this damage my firearm? PLEASE HELP!!!!!

866-423-5224 just go to the link in my post at the top. it has a listing of what has been afected as well as instructions on how to get in touch with them. let us know what you find out.

Finally spoke with someone the other day and they want me to ship the ammo to them prepaid courtesy of them. The only problem is i'm not home when the ups guy shows up. Thanks for the info.

i just shipped some ammo back to federal a couple weeks ago and i was not required to be there. i just marked the box as they described and ups picked it up from my porch and left the tag with the tracking #. now when they drop some new stuff back off i'll have to have someone there to receive it.
