The original Quik-Shoks, made in Mexico w/ Eley primers, were very very accurate and consistent in my old Rem 550. When CCI took it over they became very inaccurate in the same rifle, with a lot of apparent variation in the loads. I'm hoping this new Win round takes me back to the good old days!

This is a variation on the old "Quick Shock" round. CCI still loads it under that name. Quick Shock was Very Inaccurate in my heavy barreld Ruger 10/22. Lets hope Winchester has solved that problem. I'd like to see accuracy testing.
