As a police officer for twenty + years and a range instructor for the last 6 I take 25 police officers to a range twice a year and each one shoots in the neighborhood of 200 rounds each time out. Thats 12,500 rounds each year and over 6 years that is 75,000 rounds fired. All Winchester. To the best of my recollection we have had maybe 5 defective rounds. I'm not here to defend winchester but i'd be looking at the gun and not the ammo. Most "misfires" are ultimately attributed to either outright weapon malfunction or poor weapon maintenance.
