Winchester Ammo For Sale
History of Winchester Ammo
Winchester Repeating Arms is one of the most recognized names in the firearms world, celebrated for its lever-action rifles, bolt-action rifles, and shotguns. Known as "the gun that won the West," Winchester firearms have played a pivotal role in American history, from the Civil War to the World Wars and beyond.
A Storied History
Winchester's story began with the Henry rifle during the Civil War, which became renowned for its reliability. This success led to the formation of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, introducing innovations like the lever-action rifle and centerfire cartridges. Over the years, iconic models like the Model 1873, Model 1894, and the Model 70 became household names among hunters, soldiers, and shooting enthusiasts.
Winchester Innovations
- Model 1866: The first Winchester lever-action rifle, used in wars from the Franco-Prussian War to the Siege of Plevna.
- Model 1873: Known as "the gun that won the West," chambered for the innovative .44-40 cartridge.
- Model 1894: One of the most popular hunting rifles of all time, manufactured until 2006 and reintroduced in 2011.
- M1 Garand & M1 Carbine: Key rifles during WWII, contributing to Winchester's wartime resurgence.
- .308 Winchester: Introduced in the 1950s, this cartridge remains one of the most influential in the industry.
Challenges and Resilience
Despite innovations, Winchester faced challenges due to rising labor costs and economic downturns. The company transitioned to employee ownership in 1980, becoming U.S. Repeating Arms. While its historic New Haven plant closed in 2006, the Olin Corporation retains the Winchester trademark for ammunition, ensuring the brand's legacy continues.

This ammo in new Glock 34 had about 1 failure per mag (17) . My Taurus G2 would not fire more than 2 in a row. No problems with any other ammo brands in these weapons. I think the primers they are using are sub par. The firing pin indentation is there but no boom.

We shot 15K of 9mm ammo over 4 months in a handgun training course, including 5K of Winchester 9mm. Remington, S&B, Federal, and a other brands all ran flawlessly in all weapons. We were therefore very surprised when we had consistent problems with Winchester. The issues seems to be depth of the primers. With one Glock 19 (modified to a 4lb tirgger pull with a Pyramid striker spring,) 1 round in 5 failed to fire. The primers would show a dent from the striker pin but would not ignite. The dented rounds could often be reloaded and fired in other weapons (factory standard Glock 17, HK, and Sig) but even there about 1 in 4 of the dented rounds would fail (now showing two firing pin dents in the primer). In other weapons, this Winchester 9mm failed about in 1 round in 50 (roughly one dud ~every 3 magazines). Every shooter had more than one failure, regardless of what weapon they were using (Sig, HK, Glock, S&W, Ruger, etc). Winchester has been one of my preferred brands for years, but after this consistent level of failure I will not purchase Winchester 9mm again. Again, NO OTHER BRAND FAILED TO FIRE in any of the weapons used at this course.

My wife and I both love this ammo for range ammo. We have never had a failure or jam in either of our pistols. And unlike our local stores it seems to be always in stock here!

Previously I had been buying Blazer 9mm from Cabela's and I was consistently having problems with my brand new Berretta APX 1 not cycling fully. I was thinking that maybe there was something wrong with the gun but after i got these and started running them through it, i've only had one round not cycle fully. And these were close to 2/3s the price per round of the other ones i was getting. Definitely not switching back.

Awful! On a Glock 19 experienced a phenomenal about one misfire in ten (primer dented, but not firing). Same round could then be fired (most of the time) in a Glock 17, where the misfire rate was only about 1 in 25. Experienced same (1:25) error rate shooting in both a Sig320 and HK MP5K. This is the ONLY band ammo we have had any problems with, including cheap CHinese stuff. Same guns fired 10K rounds of Remmington in the months prior this purchase and experienced NO misfires.
