Winchester Wildcat .22LR

A buddy of mines dad was unpacking some things after a recent move and realized that he had more of this ammo than he figured he'd really ever use. Long story short, he gave me a partially used brick of this stuff at no charge. Total of 372 rds to be exact. Question is, how well does this ammo perform vs other bulk ammunition?

wildcat ammo for free -

Cant beat the price ! Ive used it and am of the belief that its plinking grade. That said , most 22's shoot some ammos better than others. Some may shoot it fair, some great. Clean your gun ,hang a target is the best way to know. compare to your favorite brand. most important no. 1 rule .saftey 1st. no. 2 have fun . Submoa - (after you find out how it shoots you might want to consider how much more to shoot, I cant find 22's less than a dime each )

I saw a brick of yellow jacket at the local shop the other day priced somewhere around 55 dollars. They used to carry brands like blazer, american eagle, and Rem GB, but the only bulk stuff that they are stocking, or able to get, is either the yellow jacket or federal. 550rd box of federal is running between 30 and 50 depending on bullet type.
