Well, that's joyous
The Winchester .22 ammo that shot such nice groups at 100 yards? Went looking for more.
Seem Winchester has discontinued it.
I'll have to try some of their other subsonic stuff and see how it does.

Sucks when you find ammo that works well in your rifle and then the manufacturer discontinues it. Two suggestions:
I was having fun trying to find some not too expensive .22LR ammo that would group better than inch and something at 50 yards that I was getting out of my 1960’s vintage Remington 40X with Winchester T22s (I bought a case years ago). Bought a copy of The Rifleman’s Guide to Rimfire Ammunition by Steven Boelter, Zediker Publishing, and found my test results tracked his data closely, my groups being about 1¼ to 1½ X his groups. Saved me a lot of test time.
However, living in California with new laws coming in that make buying ammo much more difficult I needed a good target load now so I could stock up. So I took advantage of the Eley Tenex Test Range Service at www.killoughshootingsports.com. They found a lot that makes ½ inch center to center groups at 50 yard with my 40X so I bought a case. $$$$ but I now have what is probably a lifetime supply of target ammo. I still use the Winchester T22 for practice.

I hadn't heard of that company before. That's a nice service.
