Are you one of those people who believes everything they hear?

Go ahead and pattern some ammo and find out. I did because I wondered what the difference was too. I patterned Walmart Winchester value packs, Rio target loads, Remington Gun Club, Winchester AA, & Remington STS. What I found was the Wally world value pack shells, Gun Club & Rio patterns all looked about the same, while the AA & STS were noticeably better. Both of the latter had more pellets & a higher density pattern.

IMO Walmart shells (100 packs) are abundant, reasonably priced, and you don't even have to buy a flat of them. Their hunting loads will be out soon and will be cheaper yet.

no i don't believe anything i hear, and actually i thought i read about that on remington's website if i recall, and it really doesn't matter in my situation cause i can not shoot those loads at my club due to the rules. otherwise i would be shooting a cheaper load.............. as far as practice goes....... i can guarantee you that i will hunt with the wally world ammo all day.............. just can't shoot skeet with it!!!

Son, we gotta find you a loader. Even shooting only 12 gauge, you can save a few bucks rolling your own....more if drop down from 1 1/8 oz loads. Bet we could find a 7/8 oz load that would cycle that slamamatic of yours. Besides saving a few bucks, it would give you something to do with your hands besides pickin' your nose and pinchin' the the ole lady! :lol:

for me, the best bang for the buck are the Remington sport load value packs that they sell at wal-mart. They're around $21 for 100 shells and they do reload pretty nice if you ever decide to do that.

I second that. At least once or twice a month I buy one of those Remington sport load 100 packs at wally for $20.97. that gives me about 200 new shells to add to my reloading bins to replace the ones that finally have to go in the trash can after their 4-8 reloads. I only use em in pumps as that's all I've got.

I have patterned ts28 Rios against most of the wally world shells and some others in 1 oz. They out performed with my a400 by about 15% in having less "flyers". They and little rhinos are a pretty close match though. The shot in the Rios and Rhinos are pretty hard keeping deformation of the shot to a minimun. I pay with shipping about 49.00 for a flat of TS28 Rios but have to buy 96 cases at a time. A few of my shooting buddys and I split up a pallet a couple time a year.

some of you guys crack me up! You're comparing this shell to that shell, patterning each of them, then comparing them again and again. I've been behind the trigger of a shotgun for over 40 years now and have never patterned a gun or did a 'Consumers Report' on shells. I shoot high 30's low 40's in sporting clays, average of 22 in skeet and shot a ton of perfect 25's in trap. I am not bragging, just showing you what you can accomplish with a little practice and experience, without all the choke changing, load ratings, etc.

Buy the cheapest loads out there, but more importantly, go out and shoot...

very easy to answer, Walmart 4 packs of either Remington, Winchester or Federal, 12 or 20 gauge. $21 bucks for 100 rounds. Beat that.

That's PLUS tax. I can get quality Kemen target loads for $22.00/100, tax included.........in a variety of loads

I sometimes buy the wally world federal packs but when i get the chance to be back home i stock up on federal 1oz Field and Game loads at rogers sporting goods since they're $48 a case and about a 30 minute drive. I actually bought 5 flats of federal gold medals last time i was there to get the rebate and they came out to $46 a flat.

Im in college too so I know how much it sucks to spend half of your paycheck on shells/shooting.

I also have a 100 pack of the remington sport loads that i havent tried yet, we'll see how these go.
