Do NOT use Winchester M-22 .22 Long Rifle Rimfire ammunition with Lot Numbers GD42L or GD52L due to possible double powder loads.
This is a 40 gr Black Copper Plated Round Nose cartridge.
Any questions, call Winchester at 866-423-5224 or visit www.winchester.com.

I didn't know a 22 case could be double charged. Never pulled one apart to look.
I also never saw this style box of Winchester, as I have not seen much in the way of 22LR ammo on any store shelves for the past 16 months.
Enough of this noise, take your 22 and put them on a Black and Decker bench in a plastic vise and find out just how well this stuff shoots! 22 are notoriously over built. ( but do it from a distance and use a string).

Centennial, it's out there. If nothing else, go to http://www.gunbot.net and search for 22 ammo to get it online.
If you have to pay HAZMAT or shipping fees, you can get a buddy to go in with you on a large purchase to lower the overall price per round by making a large purchase. Currently, Armscor ammo is available, and its .22 LR offerings are OK.
Some sites limit your purchase to two bricks (1,000 rounds), but that is enough to get by with.

Good luck - 3 Fingered Jack
er... do we really want this advice on this website for a casual viewer / newbie to get himself hurt?
.22s are not given the respect they are due. Most people just disregard the danger associated with them because they are small.
But if you've ever had a .22 RF chambered gun go off out of battery, that will change your mind in an instant. Those little buggers can do all sorts of damage to the gun and the shooter.
Even tying one to bench and shooting it with a string is not a good idea.
I wouldn't take a chance shooting that ammo out of my "over built" Ruger Super Single-Six let alone any other gun.

I'd say not all 22 LR firearms are created equally.
As to the damage a single 22 can do; I have a 1895 Marlin rifle which is a very good sought after rifle. The chamber was worn and the highly recommended gunsmith and TJ liner and a new breech block was all sent to this guy. After 3 or 4 trips cross country mailings to get it right, hit the target, and function.
On the first shot fired of Remington 22LR the round burst and sand blasted my eyeglasses. I felt the puff of air same as when the eye doctor checks you. My cheek was bloodied around the shape of the eyeglass frames.
The gunsmith had kept tightening the thumbscrew with channel locks ruining the fine knurling (demanding it be tight!), the new bolt was so roughly fitted it appeared to have been shaped on a bench-grinder. To top it off they were not concerned with my eye or glasses and blamed it all on Remington ammunition!

Thanks John,
I'm OK, just would like to replenish what I had, and when ever that happens it will be 3 or 4 times what I paid just 2 years ago.
I think Brian (3 fingered Jack?!) may have been joking. But there is a little part of me wondering about putting some of those in one of those massive H&R break opens.... Is that bad?
I seem to be all about pushing the limits lately.
Profanity is a poor substitute for a proper education.

Yep. Always wanted to re-barrel my Ruger No 1 from 7mm Rem Mag to something more practical; with the cost of 22 ammo these days, maybe now I could justify it, just to shoot a couple cases of this double-charge ammo. . .
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
