the stuff in the trays is considered "premium line" and doesn thave the big numbers of defects. you still find a problem round from time to time but it 1/100th of what teh bulk pack is.

Spends way too much money on guns.

Personally I've shot about 2000 rounds of the loose packed WWB and have yet to have a bad round. I could just be lucky though. I generally prefer Remington UMC over WWB, but now I can't really be picky, I just have to get whatever is available at the time.

I had one out of the WWB box that just "fizzled" when I pulled the trigger, the actual primer looked like it was melted and the gun was smoking like it was on fire... I ejected the round and checked the pistol, everything looked ok.. I dont know if it was bad powder, primer or what but I shot the rest of the box without any problems and I gave the round to the range guy to dispose of. From my understanding those rounds are odds and ends.. kinda like a bulk bin, I have seen dented and bent rounds in the box, they are always dirty or dirtier than others, look at your fingers when you load a mag... looks like you just changed the oil.. When ammo was hard to come by I got a bunch of it at walmart but I dont buy it anymore since i have seen bad rounds in the box, I used up most of it already, I have a couple of boxes left and got a sweet deal from bass pro to get the Rem. UMC 250 round boxes.. They were 54.99 and I had 30 dollars off a purchase of 100 or more so I used that to get several boxes so I went that route. On another note I have actually counted the rounds I get in the box, I put them in 50 rnd boxes I saved and sometimes you get 100, several times I have gotten 101-110 rounds in the box though. kinda sweet reward for getting some bad ones.

While in the army during a night fire, so I couldnt see what happened, one round of my 556 somehow bent to 45 degree angle, it wouldnt chamber and since it was dark I rammed the forward assist which only made it worse and We had to disasseble the rifle and pull it out with pliers at like 1 am, not a good time, the only thing I can think of was it had a spur or something so it didnt chamber correcly and the assist bent it outward further. other than having an issue with reloads not ejecting on my mossberg 500 I have never had any other issues with ammo... it only takes once to ruin you day though.

I haven't seen a copper-jacketed WWB FMJ before!
The WWB I've seen is all brass-colored jacket material.
Good catch!

I have never had a problem with WWB. Remington and Federal both offer the same no frills ammo. Remington is UMC and Federal is American Eagle.
What about WWB that comes in the 50 count in a tray that sells at Walmart for about $12.00 a box?
