Was that the 100 round value pack? I just bought 500 rounds of the rem 230 jhp at Wally world. Not that much more than the WWB fmj value packs if I recall correctly.
They shoot fine in my Xd (and my other 45's for that matter).

yeh, it was the 100 round pack. they actually cost more than WWB at my local walmart in NORCAL. They were like $29.00 if i recall. The WWB is $22.99 methinks. Only reason I bought them was that they were out of the WWB.

I typed a response to this when the thread first started... But something happened and it never appeared...


Anyway - I have bought 1 box of that Rem 100 round pack at Wal-Mart. I don't plan to buy another pack, and I still have several rounds left.

It is the BRIGHTEST ammo I have ever shot. Outdoor in the daytime, it would probably be okay. I shoot at an indoor range that is somewhat dark, however. And, when I shoot that, it is ALMOST to the point where I can see spots. Not quite, but close.

I think if I fired this stuff in the night time w/o any light, U would be blinded. I've been told that it is because of the gunpowder they use and the speed that it burns at, compared w/ other brands.

The WWB hollow points are a good deal, however. I've head a ballistic test of it, and it did about as well as many of the expensive hollow point rounds. I have some of this in some of my guns now. U can get 50 rounds below $13.00. Not a bad deal.
