    They are regular 36 gr hollow points. Same as the Win 555. They are NOT the Wildcats.

          I've had very good luck with them. They are my second favorite .22 bulk ammo.
          My favorites are the lead Winchester Xperts they sell at Walmart, but I've not seen them in over a year and a half. These are my second favorite which shoot very similar and seem to just be a copper washed version. They shoot accurately for me, feed well in most guns, have a low rate of ftf for me, etc. I've only tried them in one gun they didn't feed well. It was actually a bolt action and due to the large hollow point, it didn't seem to want to feed. It would only feed round nosed ammo or ones with a small hollow point.

          I hate paying $23 for these, but I like them enough that I usually go ahead and order them anyway.

          Should i delete those lead free rounds? they dont seem worth it
          I debated this as well. I've never tried them and always love trying new .22 ammo, but ultimately I decided there was no way I was paying $8 per box for them even if I didn't have to pay extra shipping. So I just ordered the 333's.

                  Yeah, I've read some bad reviews of them as well, but I've never really had a bad experience. I've read a fair amount of good things as well. They shoot better than the Federal Champions, Remington GB, etc in my guns. I've never shot the Blazers though and just bought my first box a few weeks ago, but wanted to finish up a box of these 333's my last trip to the range so I've saved the Blazers. I was testing out a new target .22 last time I was at the range and surprisingly they shot as well better than Eley Club for me. I was shocked, but that's not always the case in other guns. They usually do shoot very well for me though.

                    I ordered the 333's and lead free box as well just for the heck of it since I dont own any of those. Not bad for $29 shipped. Thanks fellas.

                          Remove the 555 pack from your cart?

                            Everyone and every gun is different. I believe in the majority of the guns they will shoot fine. In my wife's Ruger Single Ten, she can't even load them due to the roughness of the bullets. All my handguns and rifles shoot them. They aren't as accurate as the CCI's for me, but they are usually cheaper. I have few misfires and almost no stove pipes. At 6.6 cents a round, they aren't cheap at C's , but they aren't bad either. I recently bought three boxes of these at Walmart for about the same price without shipping of course, but I did have to pay tax. If you've never used them, by all means try them. You will probably like them for the price.

                              I am passing, my friends guns and my guns jam alot with these.

                              And they shoot really dirty, there was a thick black sludge last time I cleaned my gun after using them.

                              And I've had maybe 20-30 duds out of the 2 555 bricks I had, no issues with golden bullets or the federal 525 blue box brick.

                                I don't see a 555 pack? Where? Just a 333 and a 50 lead free for me.
