I have not seen this ammo available in 22lr in years, bought 1000 rd from Midwayusa. My stock is T-22 and Wolf match. I have never tried it before, any feed back?

I like it. Clean burning, reliable, and accurate.

It is HV, and from my experience it is a plinking ammo only, not nearly up to Wolf Match or Win T-22. It might be one notch above Remington Thunderbolt, because it has fewer duds. The bulk 36HP Federal is far superior in my opinion for plinking rounds. Dynapoint is/was also available in 22WMR and it is plain terrible - like 2x group size of ANY other 22WMR. One box was enough for me.

I haven't seen the Dynapoints in awhile either. I'm not sure how they compare to Winchester Power Points which is one of my favorite rimfire rounds. I also have had really good luck with PMC Zappers which are also hard to find now. When I say "good luck", I mean these rounds have shot well in a wide range of rifles and pistols, not just really good in one gun. The Power Points (Super X) and Zappers both shoot better in all of my guns than the Remington Target, I haven't tried T22s in awhile and haven't had a chance to shoot the Wolf Match but I hear good things about it as well. I don't even know how they sell those Remington bulk packs anymore, half of them are duds. When I go to either of my local ranges I see piles of the things laying on the benchs and ground and when you look at them, they have a hard firing pin strike but still a dud. The Federal bulk packs have been very reliable for me but definitely not up the PP or Zappers accuracy-wise for me in my guns.

.....it is very accurate in my old Anschutz 54MS.
Years ago, I stocked up on a bunch of it on sale at Kmart....before they closed the store here.

Regular bulk ammo. Accuracy is good and out of two boxes so far no failures to fire. All of my experience with them has been out of custom 10/22's. I put my Wolf aside and compete with my children shooting clay pigeon shards between 40 and 60 yds.
Hope this answers your question.

I think as far as bulk ammo goes, it was one of my favorites. But I realized I could test any rimfire, find a really good shooting round and buy ammo by the case. No need for bulk ammo in anything I shoot any more.

I can only assume that the DynaPoints I have are different from every body elses. Mine are standard velocity and they out shoot most match ammo. From a Colt 22 to an Anshutz, a Ruger Mark II match to a Ruger 10/22- match quality all the way. I've won several 50yd matchs using the stuff. I haven't been able to find any in a couple of years now. I wish I had bought more than a case.

from Midway June 2007...$322.00 to my FL door.
Just a plinker I found this to be an good economical round in my 10/22's with after market barrels. I had bought at local Wal-Marts for years. Supply dried up and not able to find..anywhere. My understanding was that there was a brief interruption in manufacturing when WW moved the Dynapoint line from wherever they were to a new or newer plant in MS.
Still pretty good stuff as to accuracy IMHO, however I've had more failures to fire from the MS manufactured stuff..not enough to make you mad but noticeable.
Wolf Match Target was the best shooting round I found when was shooting everything I could afford to find the best. Now I am working on whittling down my kids inheritance by shooting up the Dynapoints first.
I like CCI Velocitors as a hunting round though don't stay up late much anymore for armadillo's in my dotage, LOL.

I bought a box of 500 at dicks and the cashings were hard to eject out of my 617 revolver and they were extremely dirty .I gave them away

18 months ago if not longer. Have a bunch more failure to fires and they seem to be noticeably dirtier..............however, for the price, they do well for me to try and brush up out back with the 41 at 50'. Actually did a 285/300 today and had a mediocre TF. Gnats are plentiful even with the wind.:(
Anyway, I think they changed the formulation on them either in powder, priming compound or method of mfr. They just aren't as good before Win moved.

Too bad if they changed them, they used to be my favorite in my 10-22 Sporter Deluxe. Haven't seen them in years though.

I used 10's of thousands of Dynapoints when I first started shooting competitive Bullseye 10 years ago. It was very inexpensive and shot under 1 1/2" @ 50 yards with my Rugers and High Standards, which is my requirement for pistol match ammo.
I used to buy it at Kmart for $8.98/500 ct carton and had very very few (<1%) duds. They pretty much quit carrying it and I went on to other ammo's. Too bad to hear about the poorer quality in the present production.

For everyone's info there is a recall out on Dyna points . Contact Winchester . Good shootin ya'll .

L Cazador, believe the Winchester DynaPoint recall was for .22 Magnum, not .22 LR. I've been talking to Winchester on my 10K lot of .22 LR Dynapoints and accumulating misfires to send in for analysis.
Nice folks, will advise on outcome.

I have always thought them to be pretty good for the price. and every pay day would buy a couple bxs at wally worlds, some times they would have them on sale. and I would score more then the normal bx or two.
I can not recall any trouble with them. and they shot and hit what I aimed at. I have not seen them around in a while, but then I have not been shopping for them in some time. Now I will be looking for them.lol.

Had a little swap going with my shooting Bud. Have had a failure to fire every 10 shot series on my BE nights. When you shoot alibi's, the cream is removed from the top of the score........and it hurts badly. Not to mention screwing with the concentration.
They USED to be really good say 4-5 yrs ago and BEFORE...........loved them, wished I'd warehoused them but the 3 - 5 cases I bought when they moved the plant.........well, absolutely nearly worthless. Maybe as bad as the Rem Golden Bullets. One shooter calls the Rem GB's "turds" on RFC.

My experience is the same. Had heard all the praise over on RFC for these so 3
years ago when I found myself in Walmart one day I noticed they had them on the shelf for 8.95/bx, oh lucky day. I picked up 3 boxes thinking if I liked them I would go back and clean them out. No need to return, these were no better than Rem Goldens in the accuracy department and I actually had more duds in these than I do with the Rems. In all fairness just because they wouldn't break an inch @50yds doesn't necessarily make them turds. They were reassigned up to the lakehouse for family and visitors to shoot, those prices are long gone.
