he only time I had issues with the Remingtons gumming up my autos was if I didn't keep them oiled. And that was only on my old marlin or my brothers old Remington. My Ruger eats anything I put through it without a hitch, and my old single shot Winchester eats anything, but only likes slowwww rounds.
If that's the case then, GOB, and the price is right, why not give 'em a try? I don't remember how well they shot, but I know that they shot groups, not patterns! I don't know how fast or slow they are, so I can't predict how they'll shoot in your Winchester.

I have moved away from Remington brand rimfire ammo because the quality and consistency seem to be missing
I think that ALL the big three (Winchester, Remington, and Federal) have all had quality control issues with their bulk .22 rimfire ammo at one time or another. I must say that I've had good luck with the Remington 'golden bullets' sold in the 100 rd boxes, and in the past the few boxes of Winchesters that I've inherited did just fine. It seems like those "bargain tubs" of 500+ rounds seem to have the majority of problems.....I think that if your producing billions of .22 rimfires a year, a few are going to slip through without priming compound, minimal priming compound, ect., despite your best Q/C.
The only domestically produced .22 ammo that I have not had a misfire with (and I'll probably regret saying it now) is CCI. Ever notice that CCI doesn't produce bulk packs of ammuntion?
