Winchester 42 Max Ammunition 22 Long Rifle 42 Grain Power-Point

[ravenous464]

Any experience, I ordered a box yesterday. I'm worried they will burn hot, I also bought some with 300 rounds with a muzzle velocity of 1450 and energy of 204?

Welcome Ravenous.

No experience with these Winchesters but they sound hot.

I don't believe modern .22lr firearms rated for HV ammo would have a problem with them.

Just don't use them in your "target only" rated firearms IMO.

So I can use them in my old Henry, not my M&P 15 22?

[Microgunner]

I would.

:thumb:thanks, for saving my gun!

[M4rk]

I would.

kinda confusing.. so YOU WOULD use it on ur mp15 22 or colt 22??

Just read that the M&P 15-22 comes in two flavors. Standard and Performance editions. The Performance rifle has a match chamber, and the owner's manual has specific recommendations and prohibitions for ammunition. There is a list of ammo not recommended for the standard version also. The 42 grain ammo is not mentioned, so I would suggest calling S&W.

From the owner's manual:

Please call Smith & Wesson Customer Service at 1-800-331-

0852 ext. 2905 if you have any questions regarding the recom-

mended ammunition and maintenance of your M&P15-22 rifle.

how bout for the colt m4?

[techmike]

The Colt has adjustments for standard and high velocity. If I remember correctly the manual specifies not to use hyper velocity ammo.

Sorry, yeah, I meant OK in the Henry lever action.

ya. thers that screw u adjust.  screw needs to be flushed with standard velocity and 3-5 full turns with HV. i have mines at 2 full turns, shot great with the CCi velocitors with Muzzle Velocity: 1435 feet per second. man, id really wanna try this on my colt, except.. its always sold out and i cant seem to find them in stores. my theory is that since the grain is a little bigger, it would slide in easier in the chamber ramp.. or how ever u want to call it. (not that i get plenty of jams) and the bullet is alot more stable when shooting 100- 200 yards.
