Winchester white box ammo = unreliable?

[repair]

Has anyone else noticed that they are getting a lot of misfires out of Winchestor white box ammo?

I shot 200 round of PMC .38 special (18.00 a box) with no misfires, I shot 25 rounds of Winchester .357 magnum (28.00 a box) and had 1.

I used the same gun and the primmer looked like it was struck normally.

I had the same experiance with .45 in my GLOCK 30.

I have had no problems with it at all,and we shoot quite a bit of it.270,9mm,40,and 30-30

Over the last 3 years, I've probably shot 3000+ rounds of 45, and my wife 500+ of 40 and never had a problem.....

I never have had a problem with it untill the last month.

I had a batch 3 months ago that i got a few duds out off in 9mm.

Might be they are currently running into QC issues. I bought the first white box ever a few weeks ago. I loaded the cylinder of my snubbie with 38 specials and it wouldn't close. There was a misformed case rim. I wrote it off as a freak thing, but now I wonder.

Quality of win white box has been slipping IMO. I exclusively shot WWB for the past decade and aside from being dirty and not being consistent it was reliable.

The past year or two I find it's getting even worse for consistency and in the past I'd get a dud every 750-1,000 rounds. Now it seems like it's a dud every 100-200 rounds.

Still better than wolf, but the gap is closing, lol.

My friend has a 380 that will not shoot "white box",jams and spits the case down the side. I have used the 9mm and .40 Cal without any problems.

WWB is my target-shooting ammo of choice for handguns, given it's readily available and reasonably priced at Walmarts everywhere. I shoot their 9mm, .357sig, and .40s&w, all of which I've had the occasional FTF out of maybe every 200 rounds or so. Last two 100rnd boxes I had about three FTF, so maybe they are getting worse. Trying to keep up with the ludicrous demand right now maybe?

i've been through ap 5000 of 9x19 with no problems. but i haven't bought any in a while.

 

[KDUBCR250]

I had a few in my .308 one box of 20 had 4 duds.

I have shot 1000's of rounds of 9mm and have never had a single problem that I can recall. I have not shot any of it in the last couple of months though.

 

[Glocker1986]

Ive shot a ton of WWB 9mm, 40 and 45, through glock's, 1911's, h&k's, betetta's, and a Sig with no problems

 

[Dogman]

No problems with 9mm or .45, with how much I've shot I should have bought stock in the company.

Out of roughly 10,000 WWB rounds, I've never had one issue, all 9mm and .45
