What is the word on WWB QC in 9 millimeter?

[Hotdog1911]

I just read a post on Winchester White Box 40 cal ammo being a little, shall we say, not up to industry exspectations.

Has anyone had a bad experiences with WWB 9mill lately?

I've never had a problem with WWB anything; pistol or rifle. But the posting about the 40 cal stuff had me concerned. What's your take?

I use 115gr 9mm WWB in my sig 228 with no problems!!!
I also use 230gr 45acp WWB in my colt 1911 without problems!!!
I like winchester ammo!!!

Ditto. I've never had any problems and I think I've probably run 1200 rounds of WWB through my 9mm HK and about 500 through my SA .45.

It's dirty stuff, but that's the only caveat.

I've used WWB in 9mm, .38 Spec, and .40, and it's been consistently accurate and reliable in all cases.

My experience with WWB is that I've used it in .38 Spl, 9mm, .45 and .380. The only problems I had was with the .380 which would not feed well in my Bersa .380, and that was prior to a warranty service that cleared up feeding issues, which may explain that.

Specifically, since you are asking about WWB 9mm -- I find it to be good enough for range fodder. It is cheap and it works.

Extraction problems with my CZ 75 and HiPoint carbine. I noticed the case rim isn't as 'sharp' as carry ammo which might be the problem.

Otherwise it works decently enough for plinking and making bowling pins dance.

 

[Mike Irwin]

I've put several thousand WWB 9mms thorugh my P7, High Power, and other 9mms over the past several years with no even a hint of a problem.

 

[Glenn E. Meyer]

No trouble with it in a Glock 19 for quite a few matches and classes.

 

[ATW525]

I shot thousands of rounds of WWB in a variety of 9mm pistols. Not a single problem.

 

[Jkwas]

No problems here. Shoots fine in my P89 and also the Millenium Pro PT111.

 

[Topthis]

Thousands and thousands of rounds through my XD and CZ P-01 with no complaints.

 

[RevolverLover]

I've used thousands of rounds of WWB 9mm and never a problem.

 

[MD_Willington]

+1 No problems... my 5906 eats them like a fat kid with a sack full of jelly beans

 

[JohnKSa]

I've shot hundreds of rounds of the stuff. I've had two failures to extract in an H&K USP 9mm that has never had a malfunction before or since. Both rounds came from the same box.

I don't buy the stuff for self-defense, so the two extraction problems didn't change my buying habits.

 

[Hotdog1911]

Thanks for the replies...but

There is always a 'but'.

I'd agree with everyone on the 9mill & 380s & .45acp. Thank You all for responding.

I didn't see too much confidence in the WWB .40 S&W. Any thoughts?

 

[FAT DUCK]

no problems with the multiple boxes I shot.

 

[Rob96]

I am also one who has shot thousands of rounds through two different G19s without a hitch.

 

[dirksterg30]

Several thousand rounds of 9mm through my CZ and Kahr with no problems.

 

[azredhawk44]

WWB in 9mm, I've shot about 1500 rounds of the stuff. Not a single problem.

But in regards to WWB in .40? .40 is against our religion in our house. Couldn't say.

 

['75Scout]

I've shot WWB in .22lr, 9mm, 40 S&W, 45acp, and 38 Special. And I find it to be about as accurate as any other FMJ for off hand shooting. I haven't ever had a bad primer and the feeding/ejecting problems are rare to never. I now use it pretty much exclusively for my range ammo and have quit looking for a better deal.
