If you have any of this ammo on hand, ship it back to Winchester -- some of it has a double-load of powder.

Liberty Training Rifle go 'boom!' =  >:( Bad Times  >:(

I sent them two ~$10 550rd boxes.  They sent me three $20 Winchester coupons.  Do the math.

ETA -- Maybe I should take this up professionally.... Seems like a good way to make money.

And I thought I was one of the lucky ones, as my Winchester ammo was from the good lots.

Grin, you beat me AGAIN.

Wasn't sure if anyone noticed, but the link the OP put up is in reference to Super-X and PowerPoint .22LR.  I have a box of Xpert22 here that I purchased just the other day from lot number 1XN21M and since the XN matched the warning on the bulletin but not the brand I searched for Xpert 22 and found the following:

Appears it's also in the recall.  It'll be going back shortly.

Again, this was just purchased the other day, so check your ammo folks.

This goes back to last spring. I checked about 40 boxes of the XPerts at the time--had hits all around the bad numbers but none of the bad ones themselves. I haven't bought much if any of it since then, because this summer's lots seemed to shoot unusually dirty.
