Cheap walmart shotgun shells

Walmart Winchester ammo

I have used a Remington 870, a Mossberg 500 and one other shotgun, can't remember what kind it was, with the Winchester 12 gauge shells from Walmart and every other shot jammed when trying to cock in another round. However, the Federal ammo, also purchased from Walmart worked great. Not sure if it's a Walmart thing or a Winchester thing.
 
The only cheap shells I have a problem with are the remington green hull birdshot/target loads.

They're made so poorly the OAL is often just a tad longer then it should be and I have a hard time adding the 5th round to my magazine if it fits at all

Its the only ammo that has ever done that in my gun and it does it consistently.
 
Winchester Univeral 20 ga shells

Failure to eject 75% of time from my Beretta 391 recently. No problem with
the Remington gun club. Have not tried the Federal bulk pack in this gun yet.

When I called Winchester the customer service rep said, Well, they are no worse than anything else out there." Asked me if I had tried them in an over under as if it was my fault for using a gas gun. He then assured me that I would get a cash refund I sent in the receipt. ( I did shoot a box and a half out of 8 boxes.)

Just got the letter. No refund. Just less than the money I spent in coupons.They totally ignored the instructions in my letter about a refund. All I can do use the coupons for AA shells and hope they work.

The product and service is a good example of corporate arrogance. You can
be sure that I will share this with as many shooting friends as possible.
No more Winchester powder, shells or anything for this shooter.
 
there are little to no problems with Walmart's 4 pack shotgun shells. I've been shooting them for years with maybe an occasional hiccup every now and then. They are as good as any shell you can buy. Winchester, Remington and Federal all perform the same. I've shot literally thousands of their shells...
 
Never had a problem with the Wally-mart 2 3/4" Winchester ammo.

I've fired several hundred through my mossy 500, an old remington, and my dads browning and haven't had a failure.
 
Half the question ignored

Not only is this thread ancient, the responses ignore on of two of the OP's questions. the one about whether the Winchester buckshot and slugs sold by WalMart are safe. By that I think he is asking if the stick in the chamber like the value pack target ammunition can with the 870.
 
I don't know about Wally World buckshot but I know that my Browning Light-12 will not, will not, will not chamber the value pack shells and if it some how does chamber them it won't extract them.
 
Slugo, I assume you were directing your comment at me.

I'm sure it is the Browning and not the shells. It runs fine with Remington Premier shells and the few paper hulled hand loads I have tried. I feed it Remingtons and it runs fine and I leave it at that.
