Same here.
I shot a couple brands of the cheap turkish 124 grain shit and it ran like a top thru the G17. So I ordered some more.

Bought another case of PMC 9mm 115gr. No tax
Trying to tell myself I don't need any of these, but I do love me some battle packs.

Did I miss something last week. When I returned from Vaca, I had my two cases of 12ga and it came with a bushnell Bluetooth speaker?

I shot 200 of the XF white box stuff.....GTG.
Ran 50 rounds of that Turan shit and that was fine as well, but Ill be running more this week. I only have 250 rounds of that stuff anyway.
All of these run way better than that steel winchester USA forged plain box shit. That stuff is aweful. Never again.....

Please school me, because I thought the Winchester Red Box (USA Ready) was brass cased and the khaki (USA forged) was their steel cased "value" line.

Sorry...you are correct.....the plain carboard boxed USA forged shit is absolute ass. Ive never shot the Red box stuff.
Broken /Split cases jamming up shit. Dirty, hands get filthy when you load it with some sort of oxidation from the steel.
Even my Canik had issues with it, which is saying something. I'm just trying to burn thru a box at a range session because it will jam up at least once every mag.

Ive yet to shoot bad Turkish ammo. I prefer the Belom when I can get it.
As I'm gearing up to do some 6.5 Creedmoor shooting, ended up picking some up in the 1.20 per. Surprisingly TS was on the cheap side, even at that, still close to 2x what you could find it for pre shortage.
I haven't been paying attention as this isn't a caliber I stocked. Hopefully it just recently became readily available, which it was - there were choices, and the price will come down. Would be nice to pay < buck a shot.

The issue with the USA forged Winchester stuff is that it's uncoated and rough Steel casings. Does not feed well out of polymer wall magazines like Magpul nor does it load or extract as smoothly out of the chamber. Mostly every other steel case ammunition is polymer coated or lacquered which alleviates much of the aforementioned problems.
Very dirty to touch as it has a sort of chalky coating on it. I'm not aware of any other ammunition that is like this.
I have used Winchester brass 9 mm and 223/556 with no issues whatsoever as far as using it for its intended purpose, which is range fodder/ practice ammo.

I've shot about 500 rounds of the XF white box stuff, no problem's there either. The only reason I ordered some Igman was it is allegedly a little hotter, but I didn't notice any difference. I'll keep going with that odd euro stuff until I have problems, if I ever do.
