One of the guys on the other forums pointed out that Winchester is in the middle of moving their production from a plant in Illinois to Mississippi. They might be having QC issues because of this.
I only have three boxes of White Win "in stock". All are USA. I've not paid attention to country of origin before; the letters are quite large. USA, USA, USA... :anamatedbanana
Er - uh - umm - - - The brand name is "Winchester USA" not "Winchester White Box" they all have USA on 'em. Look on the back of the box to see where it was made (small print)

Re: Anyone having problems with Winchester ammo recently?

I don't use WWB in my semi autos because of problems like are described above. There is a long line of complaints against WWB ammo from as far back as the 1990s. I have better luck with PPU, Wolf, Monarch, Bear etc. than WWB. The best solution to affordable range ammo is to reload.
