Winchester 45 ACP bulk ammo test....
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2025 7:02 pm
Well after doing all my grounds work I had some time try out some of the 45 ACP ammo I bought,,,500 rds for $209 bucks and it looked to be possibly the white box stuff. Took along my Springfield XDE which has always run fine with no fails and the HiPoint Carbine in Bullpup dress.
All rounds only 19 total fired with no issues and looked like a decent group especially thru the HiPoint with the ragged hole. For some reason and most likely me today the pistol shots went to the right and carbine went to left BUT were very consistent. The XDE target shots were the Winchester loads in right center and another group of shots being my 230 gr. XTP loads that I shot at top of target with those being to the right also.
So looks like the Winchester bulk ammo runs very well and I did not notice much smoke. Yeah not a bunch of rounds today but looks like they will be good target ammo.
