22 ammo doesnt fit

...I am certain that it was the Winchester ammo.

Not a big fan of the Winchester bulk-packed .22LR. I find it's marginally better than the Remington bulk-packed stuff which is still not saying much.

In the bulk-packed .22LR, I prefer the Federal. It seems to give the best results in my firearms.
 
I've found that the Winchester bulk .22 lr is about the only round my 617 does not like. After shooting 100 rounds of it I have to scrape the lead off the top of the strap above the forcing cone as the cylinder no longer wants to turn freely due to lead build up. ONLY Winchester .22 lr rounds spray lead out between the forcing cone and cylinder. With .22 lr so hard to find you get to feed what you can find. I will try my best to stay away from Winchester and Remington rounds.
 
[QUOTEThe 617 is a precision revolver with thight chamers that likes precision ammo. What you are experiencing is totally normal IMHO. ][/QUOTE]

If you say so, mine could have used more precision on the action, no where the precision my 24 year old M-17 has. Every .22 I've used chambered without a problem even after shooting shorts in it. I love my 617 but mine needed attention to the action so it didn't feel like a Fred Flintstone revolver
