Winchester ammunition
I presently am shooting Silver Bear 203 and it is pretty consistent in accuracy...was thinking on trying some Winchester 180 grain...I recall reading somewhere that Winchester farms this cartridge out to a company in Russia...not sure which one tho...It probably is cheaper but of the same quality...anyone know what brand this might be?..and is it any good?...I wish I could reload, but that is not in my retirement budget ...

Re: Winchester ammunition
Don't quote me on this but I seem to remember some Winchester ammo for European calibers was made by Sellier & Bellot in the Czech republic.Koada wrote:I presently am shooting Silver Bear 203 and it is pretty consistent in accuracy...was thinking on trying some Winchester 180 grain...I recall reading somewhere that Winchester farms this cartridge out to a company in Russia...not sure which one tho...It probably is cheaper but of the same quality...anyone know what brand this might be?..and is it any good?...I wish I could reload, but that is not in my retirement budget

The Winchester is pricey. Unless you are hunting, go get some surplus.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Re: Winchester ammunition
That's the one Weldonhunter, I just could not remember...Millman, I have some surplus for plinking and range, i was looking for another hunting round and thought I would look around, but since the season is not that far off, I will just stick with the Silver Bear since I have about 100 rds. and use the surplus to get used to the gun, then the Silver Bear to get hunting accurate...Maybe next season I will experiment more with different brands...have a bet with my grandson, and always looking for a edge...i really want to win the bet, and show him that the 91/30 will do the job just fine..
Re: Winchester ammunition
I think you will do fine with the Silver Bear stuff. Somebody that used to be on here killed a black bear with that 203 gr. stuff. Good luck in the woods.
Here are some pics of some Russian hunting ammo I found at a yardsale. It is 200 gr. and they picture a moose. Should put a deer on it's ass.

Re: Winchester ammunition
Winchester is from sellier i believe. It shoots great but i did have trouble with it on reloading like i had heard. I will not be buying any more of it that is for sure. I would buy prvi and stay away from winchester or S&B if reloading.
