Wal-Mart 115gr FMJ "White Box" ammo - Page 2

I was out cashing checks & picking up eyeglasses today and since I was going by Wally World decided to see if they had the "white box" 9mm ammo that everyone writes/recommends...

This is what I was shown/sold - Winchester 115gr FMJ 100-rd Value Pack...It's labeled "Target/Range" but no mention of how many grains of what powder...

Looks good; definitely not copper-washed (like a lot of .22 ammunition these days) but a proper copper jacket...Winchester marked cases; OAL of a random 10 cartridges measured 1.159" to 1.164"...

100rds for $23.97 USD (+ local sales tax)...I thought that a bit much at first, then did a double take as I realized that's just a few dollars more than what I sometimes pay for 50rds of Remington, Federal, or other brand name ammo...

Can't comment on how it shoots right now as the local police are using the range and time is limited...

Actually, I was expecting a plain white [unmarked] box as is sometimes seen at guns shows for questionable cartridges (that say only "9mm Luger" on the headstamp) so I was somewhat surprised that it is a Winchester-marked box and headstamped cases...

I'm not sure if they were originally 'stacked' in rows; these look like they were just dumped into the box...

I did have to show my NYS Pistol Permit for the sale...I'm not sure if this is just NYS or not...but since there are several 9mm "camp" carbines available, it's kind of odd...

Can't beat the price...
