Which bulk Walmart 12ga shells are better?

[Target]

I'm going to pick up one of the WalMart 100 round boxes of 12ga target loads in 7.5 shot for $21.74.

Is there a difference between the Winchester and the Federal shells? They have both for the same price.

I have pair of new (used) pumps to verifiy.

I shoot trap regularly. The ammo I use is based on the price. Some is cleaner than others but you are either on the birds or you aren't. Winchester White Box is my favorite but only when on sale. So at that price it is 54.35 a flat.
Not bad, same price I buy Estate or Cabela's ammo at.

@PbTarget haven't used them yet but what's the difference between target load ammunition and normal ammo because at our local mart target ammo is right in the shelf in the open but all other ammo gets locked up behind glass aren't they just as deadly i don't get it

I"ve noticed that the #8 is sitting on a shelf/ boxes on floor and the turkey loads & 00 are locked up at most places.

I'm not worried about patterns and such.
Just want some shells to train the family on using the pump, to become familiar with the noise & recoil of a 12 etc and to verify that the guns I bought work ok.

Was just going to get the cheap stuff and do not know if one is any better than the other.

It may not be the same Winchester line of ammo, but the stuff I bought a while back would lock up in my side by side after firing. I'd have to disassemble the shotgun to get the shells out. So I avoid using it in my break action.

Can't say which is better but my Winchester 1300 eats the Wally World Winchester stuff up no problem.

 

[Criticalt]

I would use either, I dont believe there is much difference.

 

[Target]

Seeing as they're both Winchester 1300s , I'll go with that brand not that it matters.
Keep it in the family, so to speak.

I prefer Federal, but have used all the ones from Walmart. They work fine for your purpose.

If your going to train the family for recoil .. get a few boxes of light loads like 1oz or 3/4oz .. let them shoot a few .. and do it with a moving target.. (Clays) the moving target makes them not feel the recoil as much .. even if they miss them .. then like say ok i gave you some light loads try a full load
and go for the 1 1/8 oz loads ... now there blasting clays and having fun .. this was done in one of Julie Golob's vids on you tube .. " Love at first shot" NRA .. first Lady to win all 7 Nationals .. shes awesome ..

I think this is the video .. but there all good and fun to watch ..

I Google'd the Wally bulk 12ga and in the couple of threads that I read, most seem to feel that the Winchester Universal ( from the 100rd pack) are the worse.
Read that some gun won't eject them and one guy said that the hulls split .

I wound up buying Winchester Super Target shells in the white box of 25 for about the same price per unit ( $0.223 vs $0.217).
The may be the same shell in different packaging. Don't know, I didn't open the boxes to compare.

I shoot both wally world 100 round boxes and cant tell the difference with shotgun shells.
i just used Winchester Universal #8 12g and had no issues, my gun didn't even seem that dirty.
I generally like Federal ammo when i can get it.
