Winchester announces new .22 LR round..
« on: April 13, 2009, 02:23:04 PM »
  I don't know if you would call it new or "reintroduced", but they have apparently brought out an "Xpediter". It claims the same ballistics as the Stinger. If it is a regular sized case, it could probably be used in Bentz chambers. I sure hope it is more accurate than the ortiginal "Expiditer"....   http://www.winchester.com/products/newitems/xpediter.aspx

I still have a few of the old Xpeditor rounds.  They were really explosive, but they were no more accurate than a .22 Long in the guns I fired them in.  That means that 4 inches at 25 yards was about as well as they would do.  If they get the same bullet performance out of a more accurate round, then they shoul have a winner.

 That's exactly as I remember them, "fellow oldtimer".. ;) :D  If they have made them more accurate than the originals, they could have a winner.
