I too have been told that it is all made by CCI.
I shoot a few thousand round a year and can tell you it is NOT all the same!!
We have tested all that is out there. In my experience the point of impact will change with each brand.
Group size for us seems to be best with Hornady, Remington(when you can find it),Federal, CCI and Winchester being the bottom of the barrel.
For the most part we have switched to Hornady lead free since most of our shooting is in California.
Rifles are Anchutz ,Cooper ,Ruger, and an Alexander Arms
The Winchester stuff has had its share of problems for us0
