I have two boxes of Winchester 22 lr 36 gr hp ammo that won’t fit in a rifle. The bullets are not seated deep enough
in the case. When loading the bolt must be forced closed causing the bullet to be seated properly. The last box
I gave up and fired them in my pistol. They are accurate enough when the bullets are reseated.
