[Magnum PI]

I was at Wal-Mart (in PA) the other day and found a great deal on 9mm Factory ammo. It was called Winchester 9mm 115gr Target/Range Value Pack 100ct for roughly $11.

Does anyone know if they offer this for 45ACP or other calibers normally? I live in NJ, so Walmart doesn't sell ANY ammo here for me to check a store here.

Thanks MPI

Here the 45 bulk packs are 19.95 or close to that when they have them in stock 45 are hard to come by just like the fedral 22 bulk packs..

[Ukraine Train]

Winchester White Box (WWB) is well known for being good inexpensive ammo. I've shot at least a thousand rounds of the 9mm and it's worked great. It's about $11-12 here in Ohio, too.

[DWS1117]

I've gotten the Win value packs in .45ACP, .40, and 9mm at Wally World . I seem to recall seeing them in .38 special once and maybe a few others that I can't recall.

It is good range ammo and much cheaper than anything I can get at my range.

Where I shoot it is $15 for 50rnds of 9mm reloads. :cuss:

[Magnum PI]

I just looked on Winchester's website (which may be out of date) and they only show 9mm "value packs".

Could they be discontinuing the 45's maybe?? Or possibly it's not advertised on their website because it's a Walmart "special purchase only" ????

[bratch]

Wallys here in OK have 45. I shoot it a ton. They also have a UMC that is about the same price.

And yes they do have 38 as well.

[USP45usp]

Not to go off topic but didn't some one say that they are offering the .223 in the same 100ct pack?

(or was that a pipe dream that was dreampt without the pipe?).

[Zundfolge]

I've burned through more 100rd WWB .40 then I care to remember :)

but didn't some one say that they are offering the .223 in the same 100ct pack?
Oh, now I'm going to wet myself :uhoh:

Boy I hope so, although the 40rd boxes of WWB in .223 are pretty cheap.

[sm]

Academy Sports carries the WWB in 9mm,.40 . .45 and .223.

IIRC I paid $8.46 for the WWB 100 rd 9mm. Forget what I paid for .45 ACP. I failed to get the price for .223. Hands were full and "trying" to get another box of 28 ga loads without dropping everything. The handbasket was too full...you know how it goes...:p

If not reloading or saving the brass, the Blazer ammo is good. Academy has the 9mm 50 rd boxes for $3.86 .

[USP45usp]

Zundfolge,

It may have been 40rds but I swear (sorry) that I read somewhere that they were going to do the 100ct or are doing the 100ct.

How much for the 40ct box? The local gun shop that I bought my AR is selling military roungs (in the real box) for $4.95. I know this because he through in a free box.

[gbundersea]

I've shot a lot of the WWB 9mm in my EAA Witness. It works like a charm! It sells for $10.96 at Wal-Mart here in the New Orleans area.

I've seen the WWB there in 9mm, .40, .45ACP, .223, and most recently, .38 and .380. Local price on the .380 is $16.97. I shoot it in my Kel-Tec P-3AT without too much trouble, although it suffers an occasional FTE with it, mainly when dirty. I've heard that Winchester uses a softer brass, which molds itself into the chamber more tightly after firing.

I saw that the Academy Sports (http://www.academysports.com) in our area has 50-round boxes of Winchester 9mm for $4.86! That's $9.72/100, over a dollar cheaper than the bulk packs. Unfortunately, I'm much closer to Wal-Mart than Academy, so that's usually where I buy my ammo.

Santa brought me 500 rounds of WWB 9mm, and 100 rounds of WWB .380, so I'm set for a little while, at least.

[Amish_Bill]

Last I looked the 40 round .223 WWB were $7.58. That's about what, $190 +tax a case? I'm fairly certain you can have decent .223 delivered to your door about the same (or less) from places like ammoman.com aimsurplus.com and others.

[Hardtarget]

Yesterday I picked up a box of WWB in .45. It was $12.99 for 50 rnds. I'll go back several times to pump up my supply shelf. Its nice to have a little extra.
Mark.

[Black Majik]

The WWB Value packs are great! That's all I really use for my .45, 9mm, and .40 needs.

The .38 special are also good cheap ammo for wheelguns.

Look around for some Remington JHP value packs for slightly more. Wal Mart also sell those too.

[Chuck Jennings]

They are one of the best deals out there. The valuepacks are also a great source for brass if you are into reloading. If your store does not have the caliber you need, you should try asking them to stock it. In my experience, they will gladly stock it if there is a demand.

[DelayedReaction]

Yeah, $20 for 100 rounds of 45 ACP is pretty good. I got a bunch of it for Christmas, and I also grab more whenever I'm running out of CCI Blazer and the next shipment hasn't arrived yet.

Natchezzs.com sells CCI Blazer for $7 per 50 if you order 20 boxes. With shipping it translates to about $160, or $8 per box. It doesn't get much better than that for 45 around here.

[Valkman]

WWB is pretty good, no matter what caliber. I used to shoot it in .45 before I started reloading and I still prize that brass!

Natchezzs.com sells CCI Blazer for $7 per 50 if you order 20 boxes.

I hate you guys that shoot that crap - no free brass for me! :p

[Norton]

The local Wally-World in Glen Burnie, MD has the .45 bulk packs for $19.95 also.

FWIW....AmmunitionStore.com has the Sellier and Bellot .45 for $79/500. When the next gun show comes around, I'm going to see if he'll honor that price so that I can avoid paying shipping.

[Tom Servo]

That's the going rate for WWB down here in Georgia, too.

Good practice ammo. Burns a little dirty, but reliable.

[entropy]

$10.96 a box for 9mm WWB at Wally World around here too.(When sturmruger hasn't bought them out. :p ) They have .45, and .40, I haven't loooked at the price, because when I shoot my buddy's Kimber and XD, he supplies the reloads. (Only person besides my Dad whos' reloads I'll shoot.) I usually supply the Mosin ammo, and .308 and .223 for his Saigas. I don't shoot Blazers out of autos anymore, they don't work in my Kel-Tec, and FTE'd too often with other guns. Fine (but dirty!) for revolvers, though. ;)

[foghornl]

Last time I looked, local Wally-World had the 100-round value packs in 9Milli .40 .45 and also .38Spl. IIRC, 9Milli was $11, .40 was $15, .45 was $20, and the .38Spl was $16

[SapperLeader]

I’ve shot the 100 round value packs in 9mm, .38 special, .380 and .45. All have shot well, reliably and reasonably accurate. There is also a .40 though I have never tried it.

There is also the 100 round birdshot pack, a 15 round shotgun slug and buckshot value pack, a 40 round .223, and I saw a 40 round 7.62x39 but I was unable to get a closer look at it due to it being after 10, and my Wal-Mart has been sold out since that night.

Anyone else know of any value packs I didn’t mention?

[Gunnutz13]

Dicks Sporting Goods here in Philly has UMC 9mm for $5.96 a box of 50 from today through Jan 1st, 2005. :what:

[Sam Adams]

Please don't shop at Dick's:

http://www.kimdutoit.com/dr/weblog.php?id=P6024

[MAUSER88]

Didn't know that about Dick's. Thanks for sharing. :)

[jefnvk]

Wal-Mart here has had 9mm, .45, .38, .223 and IIRC, 7.62x39. All the same prices as mentioned above for the pistol, can't remember on the rifle.

[LiquidTension]

I wish there was an Academy Sports around here :( I've been using the WWB .45s for a while now because the price of S&B went up about a dollar per box in the past year. I used to order it by the half case for $7.95/box...now it's closer to $9/box. The WWB is pretty good, I haven't had any problems with it.

Oh yeah - stay away from Dick's. I used to work there...the name is quite fitting. I quit after the store manager yelled at me about doing a good job.

[SLCDave]

I've seen the 100-round WWB in .380, 9mm, .38 Special, .40 S&W and 45 ACP.

On a side note, I recently got this in my last box of the 40 S&W:
http://img158.exs.cx/img158/4036/backward18uf.jpg
http://img158.exs.cx/img158/9752/backward20nm.jpg

It's the only one I've ever found loaded backward. I think it might have an issue feeding correctly from the magazine...

[VonFatman]

Dick's is NOT friendly to folks approving/supporting the 2nd Ammendment.

RE: Wally World...(also won't sell handguns)...they are selling .380 Auto in bulk packs as well as the other calibers already mentioned.

[Chuck Jennings]

On a side note, I ave regularly have had 101-102 rounds in a box on the 9mm Value Packs.

[Sam Adams]

Maybe you should send those photos, along with the bullet in question, to Winchester. Maybe they'd send you a few boxes or a case for free, like other manufacturers that screw up. Be sure to let them know the lot number - or send the box - as this may help with QC. Heck, helping with QC may save someone's sight or life, so even if they don't give you anything, send the info and the bullet along.

[Slimjim]

I wish walmart carried the whitebox 30-06!

[SLCDave]

Sam,

I emailed them earlier in the week, and haven't heard back.

[kart racer]

wwb here is 10.97 @ walmart.you can get 9mm wwb or umc at bass pro for 11.99 for 100.right now a local shop has cci blazer 45 acp on sale 17.10 incl tax for 100 rds.

[tankertom]

I bought 2 100 round boxes of the .45 earlier today in Fairfax. They also had the 9mm and .40 at that Walmart.

tt

[mongo]

Does the WWB in .45ACP also come in JHP's? I have 2 boxes of the FMJ.

[SapperLeader]

I have seen a personal defense load for 9mm and .45 at walmart in WWB but its not a value pack, its a 50 round box. I use the 9mm in 115 and 147 jhp, and will try the 230 .45 once I own a .45.

[dukeofurl]

I cant stand the value pack ammo - I've chronographed some and anything that has VALUE PACK on it from Wincester is consistently slower than the regular government type ammo.

Their regular government type ammo costs me the same so I go with that. The 165 40's are the same price as the 180 for me and I've had a few problems with the 165 VP's.

[Zach S]

I use .45 valuepacks. Blazer is good, but my thompson doesnt get along with it, a few FTEs. Blazer Brass runs fine though. Wal-mart here in Asheville used to sell cases of 9mm valuepacks (for the price of ten value packs - no price break). I dont know if its regular stock or not, I've only seen it once or twice, It might just be selling that fast.

As for Dick's, I dont shop there anyway. The two or three times I've been the selection of .45 ammo really sucked. The last thing I got there was a hockeypuck for my Caprice, that was almost a year ago.

On a side note, I ave regularly have had 101-102 rounds in a box on the 9mm Value Packs. Same here. However, I also got them with 98 or 99 rounds as well.

It's the only one I've ever found loaded backward. I think it might have an issue feeding correctly from the magazine... Not if its an HK! Just put it in the mag backwards.

[Eskimo Jim]

Magnum,
In the northeast I've seen Winchester White Box bulk packs for .45 ACP, 9mm, .380 ACP and .38 special.

The box containing 100 rounds of .45 ACP went for about $20. The other calibers were cheaper but I don't recall how much cheaper. Finding them is tough though. Either the local Wal Marts don't order them period, or the sell out quickly.

I've bought UMC in 38 special and .380 when they go on sale. I've bought multiple 50round boxes and saved the brass for reloading.

Good luck.

-Jim

[SLCDave]

I got a letter from Winchester asking me to send them the bullet via UPS at my expense, and they would look into the issue. If they find they are at fault, they will compensate me for the value of the faulty ammo. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth, doesn't it?

They did mention if I wanted to call them, they would mail me out a prepaid UPS label. Why not just send the label in the first place?!? Is it better to waste more time on this for a check from Winchester for 15 cents, or to have a bullet seated backwards as a metaphor for their customer service techniques?

[Lonestar.45]

I've shot tons of the Winchester white box stuff from Wal-mart in .45acp, and I love it. Never had any problems. I keep thinking I'll get into reloading, but these kinds of ammo deals keep me from it.

[Calumus]

Magnum, I don't know where in Jersey you are, but the Walmart in East Stroudsburg Pa (just off rte 80 about 2 miles into Pa) usually has the .45acp bulks for $19.95. I've only been there once since I got my 1911 in july when they were out of it. Not bad stuff at all. Cheers,
SHawn

[foghornl]

Strolling by the sporting goods counter in my local Wally-World last night, I noticed that they also have the WWB value pack in .380

Since I don't have a .380, didn't check the price. Based on the other WWB ammo I have tried, should be at least a reasonable quality range round.
