Hi:
Anyone use this ammo? Opinions?
Wal-Mart has this ammo in stock in 100rd. value packs.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Great ammo Great Value at Walmart. Where else can u get 100 rounds of 45ACP for $32 and 100 rounds of 9mm for $21? Clean and reliable!

 

[Reevolvers]

The only time I don't use that ammo is when I can't find any. I think it is perhaps the cleanest, and most reliable for that price that you are likely to find. It's just a shame I have to give money to WAL-MART to get it! Great ammo to be sure.

I wouldn't call it great ammo, but at that price it's probably the best deal there is. Great practice ammo.

Goes bang when the trigger is squeezed, is accurate, is clean, is Boxer primed brass for reloading, and @ W/M prices is relatively cheap.
Now if a Wally World in the Seattle area could just keep some 9X19 on it's shelves for longer than 3 minutes, I'd be pleased to buy some?

I used it to get brass once! It is only second to my reloads!

 

[Bruce51]

It works in all my Smiths and Colts perfectly. I chronographed it out of a S&W 745 5". Three shots 818fps, 827fps, 827fps. Now that is pretty consistant. I also buy Win for the brass.

I have used it, and their 230 gr JHP. Great value for the $$. What's not to like?

It's priced right - easy to find -- works great -- I've shot a ton of it over the years -- You can't go wrong with it

I've shot it in probably 7-9 different 1911s, a Performance Center 625, and a 1928 Thompson my brother's sheriff's department owns. Other than some pierced primers in the Thompson due to a recoil buffer disintegrating and locking the firing pin up, I've only had a couple of minor problems with this ammo, in about 1500 rounds fired. Good, but not great, brass. Get some!

I think it is OK but not great. I chronoed some out of a 4" 625 at average 821 fps, and from a Marlin Camp Gun at 960. For the handgun, that was a little faster than the comparable Remington load, and a little slower than the Federal. I have never had a problem with it. Hope this helps some...

Never had any issues with it. Always met the power floor in IDPA as well.

Just the price of new Win 45 acp brass and 230 fmj bullets may be more than the price being charged by walmart. Course ya would have to actually be able to find a supplier with the brass and bullets.


Befor the great ammo shortage started, had fired thousands of the 100 rd value packs. Back then they got about 860 fps from well polished 5 in semi-auto barrel, and were very accurate. They used a filthy powder that was diffucult to remove from revolvers if you didn't promptly clean em.

Now got all that quality once fired Win brass to reload.

 

[45Wheelgun]

I buy it by the case. Can't get enough.

I've had very good luck with both the Win white box and the Rem Green box UMC ammo(which seems to be more plentiful in my area). I still have a few boxes of each bought before prices went through the roof. I reload both brand cases too.

 

[TACC1]

I don't shoot that much of it, but at least I can afford it. I try
to pick up a box whenever I'm in there. Never a problem with it
in the 5' guns I've shot. TACC1

I've fired it both from a 1911 and a 625. It's accurate, relatively clean, and cheap. What's not to like?
