I see Winchester are continuing on with there great tradition of releasing a new do nothing special rimfire cartridge.
Should be a raging sales success too

Maybe the primer was too cool for the powder coatings . I have used one jug of 760 in my 30-06 some years back just to see how it would go with Winchester primers not Federal which may be too weak . It functioned ok and shot about the same as AR2209 .
However I would not load up too much for summer shooting . I did get the feeling that a magnum primer would be better again with ball powders . The powder balls are small and tightly packed so that might inhibit the flame path and the coatings seem more resistant .
Maybe the newer batches of Win 748 are even harder to ignite now . There is quite a few popular ball powders being used .
