My brother shoots a lot of .223. Just called him to let him know about this. Thanks for the post.
LOL! Sorta weirded him out that I called him about it, but he's going after pigs in the morning, and carries the .223. An accident would slow down the flow of porcine goodness my direction. ;) Well, that, and I care about my brother.

So, if you buy Winchester 5.56mm ammo that costs somewhere near $16 retail cost for a box of 20 rounds, check the serial numbers before use.
Everyone shooting 5.56mm ammo that costs only $5.75 a box of 20 rounds -- namely everyone who doesn't light cigars with $100 bills -- you're probably in the clear.

Good info. I believe I have a few boxes of Winchester .223 I bought at Sports Authority.

Winchester recently issued an important product safety notice, recalling certain lots of Winchester 64gr Power-Point .223 Rem ammo. According to The Firearm Blog, “catastrophic failures destroyed a number of law enforcement AR15 type rifles.” That Blog cited LEO agency notices describing guns that suffered cracked uppers and bowed lowers after firing Winchester’s 64gr Power-Point .223 Rem ammo. Rifles built by three different manufacturers (Colt, Bushmaster, and Stag Arms), all sustained similar damage.

Incorrect propellant in the Ranger 223 may cause firearm damage 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?

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.
