I've used them without major problems for a couple years now. Of course, there were occasional problems, but I also experienced those with other brands. I think there was a problem with a batch or two last year and IIRC it had to do with being loaded a little too hot at the factory. Maybe?
I've used it in rifles and handguns.

The two handguns I've used them in are a Colt 1911-22 and an old Ruger Mark II.

Re: Winchester M22 ammo
Maybe it's just me, but I've had horrible luck with Winchester M22. I took some with me to the range and was sharing with a couple buddies and their kids and it wouldn't feed in anything.

Ruger 10/22
Ruger Charger
Sig Mosquito
I had 1,000 rounds, two 500 round boxes. I stuck what was left back in the bag and broke out a 525 box of Remington Golden Bullets. No issues in any of the guns.
I traded the M22 for an NC Star scope and felt good about the deal.
YMMV

Re: Winchester M22 ammo
I've only had trouble with .22LR not feeding properly when it wasn't plated (bare lead)

Re: Winchester M22 ammo
They work well in a Ruger SR22 and a 10/22. I have shot up three or four bricks of it, no memorable issues, just the usual 22lr problems. I stood in lines at the Academy and bought half a dozen bricks around the time of the recall, checked the numbers, they were all good to go.
Does this pistol make a strange bulge on my ... ?
