I know WWB is not the best ammo out there but my M&P 2.0 VTAC (4.25") hates it. It shoots more like a scatter gun than a pistol. Anyone else have this problem with White Box? Other brands shoot fine with it.

The only problem I had was the .38 FMJ, 130 grain, jumped crimp and tied up my Colt Cobra. Other similar rounds have been duds but that's unusual.
 
I'm on the last few boxes of a 13,500rd lot of 9mm 115 gr WWB. I have had 1 dud so far. I can't sat if'n it is more or less accurate than any other ammo. Since my sight went to ^^^^ and I'm using 3.25X readers to shoot, all of it shoots as well or poorly depending on who is looking at my target. Joe
 
In the 9mm ammo it is usually a lot faster than the Federal, Remington and Blazer FMJ ammo.

Maybe try out some slow Blazer ammo to see if it works any better
if you are talking target ammo.

No problems with the white box in my 38 and 357 weapons.
 
If you're new to the M&P platform, the trigger takes some getting used to. There's a deplorable tendency to lose patience and finish off with a yank.

That said, WWB and other low price point ammo generally isn't going to win any accuracy contests. It used to be touted as a great training round for immediate action drills-you didn't need dummies.
 
Near me is a big online only ammo retailer. I was asking his opinion of range 9mm, trying to justify the money I was saving buying Tula from him. Eventually, I asked what he shoots (considering he stocks everything under the sun, and in huge quantities). He answered White Box.
 
I haven't had any problems with white box 45 acp. that last boxes of 45 acp hardball I have shot is the Sig ammo and I like it. Cabela's has it for about the same price
 
I bought 500 rounds of Winchester 115 gn FMJ, equivilent of WWB, for my Kimber 1911. After 150 rounds I no longer shoot it even in practice on falling plates. Compared to even my worse handloads (4.5 gn repackaged WAP under 124 gn PRN) groups are terrible as is POI.
 
You use WAP !!

No wonder you have poor groups..............

Sorry......
I could not help myself........

and yes my brother also will not use the "White box" ammo.
Federal, by gum.
