00 buckshot at WalMart any good?

[jeff43]

Anybody shot of the 12 ga.00 buck in the brown box that WM carries?I think they call it "Military" Buckshot.

I haven't shot any but I do buy a box just about every time I stop in. They are now offering a box of 15 shells which is slightly cheaper than buying 5 at a time. 

 

I'm sure it's fine stuff.

Ok,I saw a box that looked like a 25 rd. box,I think it was $23 and change.Is that the same one?It was also a plain brown box.

I didn't see that. My store has the plain brown box at 5 for $4.xx and 15 for $13.xx

It's fine for me, I've shot a lot of it.  They have the exact same stuff at Academy and Gander Mountain.  Best stuff out there? Probably not.  Not sure what you are expecting it to do and not do though.

I've used it in my Mossberg 500 and Rem 1100. I've read people say it doesn't pattern well but it's decent at 15 yards. It does have a larger spread past that. There's definitely better buckshot out there but I've never had one not go boom. Can be a little dirty though.

Just bought a 5 pack for the hell of it.Can't tell you when the last time I shot any buckshot.

Seems to be exactly same thing as standard Winchester Super X in components.
