Damn! Don't have any 223, but probably half of my ammo is Winchester. Hope like hell they didn't screw up on anything else. They wouldn't be outsourcing any of their manufacturing to another country, would they?

Let me be the first to say, that this is probably as a direct result of UNION SABOTAGE since Olin plant in Alton, IL fires their union hacks and will be moving to the southern, right to work states.
I just acquired a new Olympic Arms M-4, and they had a warning on their home page not to use Winchester .223. I think their ammo’s gone downhill.
