    Winchester Wildcat .22 LR Ammo

    Good ammo at a great price. Unfortunately, they weren't packaged very well. There was only one small piece of packing paper inside the shipping box with the box of ammo, so the ammo box came open during transport. The result was having to repackage 400 of the 500 rounds. Luckily, that was all that happened.
