Appreciate your posting this, Gunny. I have this exact ammo; my son-in-law gifted me with a 100-round box. Just pulled it out of my ammo can, and glad to find that I don't have any of the lot numbers issued in the warning.

I had to dump a box of 9mm a few years ago because of a recall. Not Winchester tho. Thing is that many people think a "Lot" is just one box. A "Lot" is usually 10,000rnds or more, depending on the mfg. so you could have literally hundreds of boxes from the same lot floating around.
