I've used WWB 9mm from walmart for some years (since it was $11/100).
My G34 has swallowed about 30k rounds of it, with only 2 seriously defective
(crushed during production) rounds. Accuracy has been pretty good - can regularly hold the 10 ring at 25yards.

Does anyone have feedback on the jack ross reloads?

My ruger .22 likes federal game shock 40gr plated - it can hold the X ring at 25 yards ;-) I thought my local shop was expensive ($29/500), but haven't seen this or anything equivalent any cheaper online. Mind you this thing is a tack driver with all the ammo I've tried, but POI varies and reliability is better with 40gr.

ANybody know which of the brands sold at Walmart use small pistol primers? I just noticed this disturbing trend in 45 acp, it makes reloading a PITA...

Reloading costs 12 cents? How to do that? Do you cast your own bullets?

My local walmart pulled all ammo last week. Said something about the sals people needing back ground checks before they can continue selling? 2 Walmarts in the San Diego area.

I saw the same thing today! The salespeople know nothing when I asked them though.

Just for reference, I was in Big 5 today buying some BBs for my kid and those 100rnd Winchester .45 auto boxes were $53.95...
As much as Walmart blows, a week ago I got the same ammo there for $19.95.

big 5 is never good for ammo

That is with buying bullets, if you cast it is A LOT cheaper then that.

1000 bullets 45 $75
1000 primers $15-30
Powder is about $9 to make 1000
Use your own brass and you save more

It's the Federal brand. No way of telling from the outside except the box is a bit smaller.

Don't think it's going to go away. The SPP .45ACP is non toxic type for shooting indoors.

Look at the glass half full. If we have another Great Primer Drought you can load it with SRP.

Holy crap!
I'm glad I reload, and am getting into casting.
Just wish there was a way to cast rifle bullets that could be pushed to 3,000fps.

Just bought 3 boxes of Federal 100 rd value pack at Wally. 19.97 ea. These have been absolutely 100% reliable through my Glock 17. No failures at all-- going on close to 1000 rds. now.

Walmart in milpitas just got AE .223 20-round boxes in last night. $5.97 a box. They don't last long.
