I notice the Federal Hi Shok prices in Walmart are way lower compared to WInchester Super Xs (rifle ammo). It s like $4 difference per box. How come ? ARe they known to be inconsistent or what ? Inferior components ?
 
Just the opposite. I consider the Federal better. Of course it depends on what your rifle likes but the Federals usually use a Speer hot-cor or Grand slam bullet. The consistency is usually a bit better with Federal in my guns.

One reason for the price difference may be that Speer has discontinued the hot-core and Federal may be trying to move them. I'd see what shoots in your gun but the Fed bullet will kill just as well as the Superx IME.
 
Thx . Glad that Federal uses the Speer component which is topnotch.
 
The Winchester groups slightly better in my guns, but they are both good. Both do way better than Remington. Usually I find the Winchester is about $1 more than the Federal.
