    Wally sell nato ammo?

    I recently bought some 100 round value pack Winchester 9mm at Wally and these headstamp are marks as WCC 09 with a Nato sign instead of the usual WIN 9mm Luger. Primer are crimped. Are they the same stuff?

    No, it'll explode in a thermonuclear fireball if you use it in any gun that's not rated for +p++++++. I'll be more than happy to dispose of it for you though...

        Wally sells whatever Wally gets in their shipment. They have no control over what the manufacturer packs in their boxes.

          As far as you know, they could just be putting a non-NATO pressured 9mm load into the NATO headstamped brass because that's all they have on hand for new brass?

            I'd wager this take is closest to the mark. They had the components and used them. If it is higher pressure NATO ammo, they run a bit of a risk liability wise by selling it as WWB which would assumably be a lower pressure round, so I can't imagine they'd screw up that bad.

            Although, with demand and production being what they've been, anything is possible.
