Good Lord, man. Start reading the forums! Walmart 100 packs are pretty much the lowest standard for reliability, whether it's Federal, Remington, or Winchester (but some won't go Win.).

I laughed.....

 

I agree, the weapon really has to run good to cycle most of the cheap stuff reliably.

Its not cheap its 8 dollars a box of 25

 

And the question was if any one used them

 

If you are paying more than $5 per box, you are paying to much. The Federal is good for the target loads, the Winchester kind of sucks for target loads.

Sucks that you live in Chicago, I would suggest making a massive purchase next time you leave Chicago or you might be able to find a deal online and just have some delivered. Wal Mart is where most people buy their target loads.

I actually prefer the Winchester bulk over the Federal, but it has a lot to do with the way I shoot. The Federal shot cups melt on the way out of the barrel after things get warm. The plastic will liquify and blow into the gas block.

I love Federal bulk, they run without flaw in my Saiga 12 and they are cheap. 4 bucks for a box of 25 and 20 bucks for 100 pack, you can't beat that with stick.

 

If you're only paying $4 a box for 25, you're getting ripped off for the 100 pack...
