    Winchester 62gr Open Tip Hollow Point Made in Sweden...THOUGHTS?

    Been seeing this for a little while now. Anyone use it, chrono it or have a first-hand report of it?
    If good to go Id like to but some to stockpile.
    EDIT: Just now see another post asking about this...if any new info it would be appreciated.

    TOS has a thread on it and a member there did a video with chrono results. It looks good, especially for the price, but SGAmmo says its a one-time thing which is a major bummer.

    Thank you much, sir.

    I have thought about snagging some as well. Let me know if anyone picks some up, and what their results are with it.

    Let us know about it once you get some rounds downrange please. Can you chrono a few rounds?

    Will do. I don't have a chrono but I have a buddy that may let me use his Magneto Speed. See what I can do.

    Got mine in. I would suspect this stuff will be around for a long time, it is not "surplus" ammo. It looks- based on packaging, to be a planned regular offering. The packaging is nearly identical in color/font/ink type etc....to Winchester White Box Ammo.

    Anyone remember when Winchester Q3131A 5.56 (Great Ammo) used to be loaded in Israel? This seems like a similar arrangement to me. How long it will last is anyones' guess but it's not surplus ammo, I'm almost certain it's made for Winchester on contract. Now, how long that contract runs, what the pricing scheme will be in 6 months etc... is completely up in the air but it sure looks like what is intended to be a "catalog item" to me.

    Just a quickie observation based on the packaging...
