NotesThis is Winchester's version of the XM1022. It was scrapped when a projectile based on the Athena/PPI was selected for the final M1022 long range sniper cartridge. While the projectile appears to be original, it is unclear whether this is an original loading or a later commercial loading using leftover components.
