Winchester White Box Potential Catastrophic Error

Most factory ammo is loaded under stringent scrutiny. Still, a few bad apples get by. Seems in the OP's case it was readily apparent and should have been spotted, even by someone with little experience with firearms. The markings on the bullet, the marks on the case, the difference in OAL and the absence of powder in combination, tend to make me a tad suspicious that it may be Cabela's instead of Winchester that one should avoid.
 
A shooting buddy and I have seen at least one " will not fire ", out of each box of 20, usually the 150 grain from Winchester----also many Winchester .22's that don't fire, we solved the problem simply enough, we don't buy any Winchester ammo period---none of our guns had issues with Remington/Peters, CCI, Federal, and several other brands of common ammo---this is not to say that the others don't let a bad one through from time to time, but with Winchester it seems to be way too often---
What good is the gun if your not certain the ammo will fire ?
 
1 in 20? I think you are making a significant exageration there. 8 have had nowhere near that number. Even cheap bulk rimfire isn't close to that. If you were having that many problems consistently it was something else.
A misfire during a range session is an opportunity.
 
I give a brief once over to each round I load in a gun, target or self defense ammo. regarding WWB I haven't ever had a bad round in 9mm, .45acp, .32acp, .38spl. I haven't shot enough of it in .380acp or .357mag to give a fair assessment but not one of those were bad either.
