Winchester Ballistic Silvertip FAIL !!!

[@MuffyOutside]

Man I had to check all of mine after this! Thankfully mine were all solid. I got two boxes here a week ago. All scheels had for soft tops. I like that they are heavier then the horns I usually shoot, but they’re also substantially slower. But for 16.99 Vs 25.99 I usually pay I can’t complain. I shot half a box and it was still pretty tight at 300. Possibly a box that Quality let slide. Glad you checked before risking your nephew

[@cbsbass4142]

I bought some Remington Core Lokt 270s and the lead tips were flattened out on some and deformed. I just figured it was handled rough before making it to the shelf. Although I don't crimp everything for bolt actions, this is why I hand load. I'll by factory ammo once in a while just to shoot up to get the brass.

Man idk. I use this ammo in 300wm and have zero complaints whatsoever. Shot a hog at 523 yards and dropped him. Bullet broke apart inside his cavity and scrambled his organs, hardly any damage to the meat. Badass bullet in my experience.

I'd like to reach out and request that you go back into manufacturing the Black Talon line. I have just a few left over (9mm & .45) that I bought in the early 90s. I've done the water-filled milk jug test and recovered the bullets from newspaper backstops. Those rounds flowered beautifully! They were the best rounds that I've ever seen. I'm now using Federal HSTs, but wouldn't hesitate on switching back to Black Talons if they were reintroduced to the market.

This is the reason I stopped buying and using factory center fire ammo a long time ago and use only my own hand-loaded ammo. These ammo are marketed as "premium" "supreme" "elite" "ultra" "super deluxe" brands and are sold at prices 2 to 3 times higher than standard brands. But the end products has more defects than a box of Wolf brand ammo made in the factory of a former Soviet Bloc country. The QC measure of the big three ammo manufactures/brands (Federal, Winchester, and Remington) is now almost non-existent. They load cartridges in lots of thousands on a daily basis, and their QC procedure for testing the final assembled product consists of nothing more than random sampling of 1 or 2 cartridges out of lots of hundreds or thousands. It's no wonder that so many defective cartridges make it into the customers' hand.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

[@j.nicolasphillips3167]

Unbelievable!!! What used to be one of my two go-to brands for my old Remington Mohawk .308 (Remington or Winchester) now shows the workmanship of something made in Taiwan or China. Besides, jamming in a semi-auto rifle, I think it could pose a safety risk. I very much hope you bring that to Winchester’s attention to ensure they STOP this substandard product design. After seeing this, I would no longer recommend this brand to anyone (very, very sadly). I only hunt with a Hawken muzzleloader nowadays. But that’s just unbelievable to me! Thank you for sharing this with the world (or at least anyone interested). Perhaps it’s because (and this is by no means an excuse) the demand for ammo is so high nowadays, it’s caused Winchester to lower-basement level-there standards. But still they are certainly an ISO company so the SHOULD have a great quality control system and redundancies to find this stuff before it makes it to the public. I wonder if it’s just one specific factory or multiple factories with such poor QC.

Thanks Rick, I have been hearing of others having problems as well.

[@bluex-ray1979]

In total I have only ran 5 boxes of the ballistic silvertips 130g out of my .270wsm and all 100 rounds were top quality with excellent accuracy. I prefer the 140g Accubond CT’s so I have used them faithfully for a couple of years now. I have been seriously considering the Federal Edge TLR’s in 140g based as of late. Your video is one of several stating quality control issues with Winchester Ammo that I have come across. Even though I haven’t had a problem with Winchester Ammo ( white box is a separate issue all together), the accubonds are harder to come by and my Browning does love 140gr !

I usually use Remington Core Lokt, but if I haven’t filled my tag during season and come up on the last day, i take a round out the top of my magazine, and replace it with one Ballistic Silvertip and I’m guaranteed to get a deer on the last day.

Hello, we fount last month EXACTLY SAME quality issues with the chrome plated brass loaded with Nosler bullets!,,,Some loads were CRAZY hot. Other were started around 2400 FPS... I have a case primed bad: in the pocket the primer pressed in 90 degree rotated to it’s side !SHIT QUALITY! 3 out of 9was not ignited! Do not trust anymore! I try to upload a picture to you all in here: a nice bullet choice, and the worst assembly factory ammo I have ever seen! While WINCHESTERS one of the best and high runner caliber is the 300 Winmag! This is where we are now...

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your story with us !!!!!

[@muleteam66]

I do the workingmans bandaid as well lol

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Yes Sir, only for the professional construction worker.

[@dickblackbeard5752]

I open boxes and look at the rounds at the store.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Yes, I normally do, but I didn't this time. The only reason I normally do is because sometimes people steal a few out of each box. Thanks !!!!!

[@uncletom1986]

I need to find out where to buy just those bullets for my .280 to reload cause that’s only bullets that will shoot accurately out of it and good luck finding them in a store or online these days

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

For sure, no doubt, thanks 👍

[@michaelmcelroy106]

This is why I reload my own ammo!

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

I agree as I load my own now. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. If you would like to check out any of our other videos feel free, Thanks !!!!

[@YTsux24-7]

What ever became of this? I have several boxes of this in .223 and they seem fine.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

For sure, it was my favorite ammo, thanks !!!!!!

[@spartin1997]

That's why I won't shoot Winchester. Shitty ammo. If your looking for accuracy I'd go with Hornady.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Good info, thanks for sharing with us !!!!!!!!

[@mpett2]

Did you contact winchester?

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

No, they contacted me in the comment section but I'm not the type of guy to waste my time emailing back and forth and they would have probably asked me to take the video down. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment !!!

[@blaydenmulchi8472]

Yep same problem we had

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

I'm also having problems with my Winchester 10 ga. shells. The brass is cracking and are hard to eject. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@stephenalexander2346]

Just checked two boxes.. anybody wanting to know if this issue is resolved answer is NO as of 1-11-2022. I only found 1 out of 40. But one is enough for something to go wrong.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Good information, thanks for sharing with us !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@justinm3418]

I just barely found this video I have 10 boxes of 300 win mag and luckily they were all good these are the only factory hunting round I use sometimes lately I been loadin up the barns ttsx

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

They were my go to, but even lately I've been even getting cracked brass in there 10 ga, shells, Thanks !!!!!!!!!!! I use barnes bullets as well

[@eastcoastcharlie602]

Would love for Winchester to have to respond to this crap built stuff!!!!

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

No doubt, I'm having issues with there 10 ga shells also, Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@damo250f]

wow no good guys. iam on me seconde lot of these bad boys which i have bought in lots of 100 and put 120 of them so far thru my tikka t3x varmint 308w with not one dud round and i do check over every round by twisting tip, checking tip, primer, and cases before putting in my safe. shoot great and drop deer in their tracks every time. i guess i must have got a good batch or something love em.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Yes it is one of my favorite rounds as well, thanks for watching and commenting

[@RayBlackburn]

They must have fixed those problems as last boxes I used worked very good in my 7mm08 and the 308 all of them with a good factory crimp that could be seen very easily The problem I had with them was I show shooting a big hog twice in one of my videos with the 150 grain 308 silvertips and it kept on running to no telling where and at a $1.75 a round that is like buying a Lincoln and getting a Yugo when they delivered it Hey I bought a Lincoln!! Winchester, Sorry but all we had was a pink Yugo for a substitute LOL The nickel cases were nice and on the third reloading now with only one bad case from 20 so far after reloading them again today but I have been reloading them with 110 grain hornady spire points and they are very accurate now @ 3100 fps

[@mckwilly]

QC needs to step it up ! could be a bad day for someone not paying attention...

[@mckwilly]

that ain't good

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

For sure, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@murderinc.hunting7686]

There's a lot of bad ammo out there

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

For sure man, mostly loading my own now, it's a lot better when you know who screwed up.

[@2wheeleddemon999]

Every few months I consider buying these and find this video when I go to look them up. They look Soo good but I'll have to pass

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Ya, they were my favorite, but check out some of the other commitments, thanks for watching and commenting

[@carterburnley8598]

I use these bullets all the time. In fact, i just killed a really big 8 here in Virginia just this past Thursday on Thanksgiving morning. Been shooting them for years and haven't had problems. Might have just gotten lucky...

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Awesome, congratulations on your kill

[@breakintips9896]

Thanks for looking closely and sharing that video

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

No problem, check out the other commitments, I'm not the only person that has had problems, thanks

[@medic9651]

This is why I do not use Winchester ammo

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Awesome, thanks for watching !!!!

[@Ulisest91]

"bUy aMeRiCaN mAdE"

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

I just make my own now

[@ricktaylor3748]

The quality of EVERYTHING manufactured by Winchester has went to HELL! Nowadays, their rifles are JUNK!

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Yes, I shot some 10 gauge Winchesters the other day and the brass was splitting making it hard to eject them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ricktaylor3748]

ETO I recently bought 2 bags of Winchester 10mm brass. I found 4 pcs of brass, which was head stamped 38 Super. The brass measures 22mm in length and 9mm IDA??? I found another 3 pcs in another bag of 10mm. Nowadays Winchester makes junk products!! If you weighed the powder charge of those cases, you'll see how bad Winchesters quality control is. I pulled an entire box of Win. STW 160 gr. The powder charges range from 72.4 to 79.6. What crap!!! Thanks for the great vid!!!

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Thank you

[@adamshaw8214]

where did you buy those?

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Academy, Lufkin Texas. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@adamshaw8214]

EastTexasOutLaws damn I just bought some in Tyler at academy that sucks.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Just check them, they have probably fixed the problem by now. Thanks again.

[@aekpani]

Hello, Just checked my 7mm-08 ammo, no problem what so ever.

[@EastTexasOutlaws]

Awesome, great news, Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment !!!!!
