That is what's known as a con job to get you to buy his stuff. The difference is Wally world buys it buy the truck load direct. he buys it from a distributer by the case. guess who gets the best price?

Is the WWB at Wal-mart really lower quality than the same stuff at the "real gun store"?

Heard at a local gunshop that WWB is being made by Seller & Beloit due to the middle east demand of late.

Anyone else hear this?

I know for a fact that some Winchester USA ammo (WWB) is being sourced from overseas, but the only caliber I know of this for a fact about is .223 Rem. Haven't heard anything about pistol calibers.

Think I got it for $9.75 a box

He just wants you to buy from him. He is angry that most people are smart enough to go to Wal-Mart that's all.

I've shot WWB for years with no problems. Well within the past year or so the .45acp 230 FMJs WWB about 1 in every hundred rounds ( or sometimes 1 in every 200 rds ) I get one round that fails to make my slide cycle ( on my 1911 ), the round has fired but it seems their wasn't enough powder to make the brass eject. My slide is back about 20% percent and gets stuck until I manually rack the slide to get the spent brass out. I suspect also that it is being made outside the U.S. But for range ammo it is still hard to beat.

My walmart was selling WWB 45ACP for $22 a 50pk and Blazer Brass for $19 a 50pk. Even the local range which is usually rediculously priced had Lawman for $16/50. I should have bought up a bunch, but I went to Wideners and bought 1000rnds of Blazer aluminum 40 and 45. Came up to $355 shipped.
