I picked up some .22 lr hp rounds, and testing from a bench gave great results. I shot at the staple, and got them in sub 1" ten shot groups. I was doing poorly, and could have cut that group down to about 1/3 on a better day. Not match ammo, but that was good accuracy. Rest was a bag, breeze was up, and I was having trouble holding solid.

If you do a bit of research you will learn that "Browning" ammunition is really Winchester ammunition re-branded for Browning and marked up a bunch.

I don't doubt that it shot well as I have always had good luck with Winchester ammunition.:)

Browning makes a lot of shotguns too, or at least they are branded as Brownings. I think that today, both Browning and Winchester exist only as licensed brands and the rights to the name are owned by the same company.
Winchester ammo is made by Olin Industries.

Thanks for pointing that out. As an Olin stock holder and growing up near one of their ammo plants in Alton, IL. I knew that. Perhaps others didn't.:eek:
