I believe the Federal is replacing Blazer Brass... I've seen some at my local WallyWorld also.

Quoted:
Traveling through Birmingham yesterday, stopped at 2 Wal Marts. Both had the Federal Champion 9mm where the Blazer Brass label was on the shelf. One lady said this would be replacing it. Other store said he didn't know anything about it, but it was also stocked in the same spot marked Blazer Brass. Same price as Blazer $8.97. My fort is now 12 boxes deeper. Each had only 4 boxes left after I got my 6. Both stores also had it in .40, but no .45acp. Maybe Federal is stepping up to the plate. Also noticed a LOT of Federal rifle ammo at one store, they had tons of .308 soft point 150 grain or .30-06 for $13.97 per 20. Not bad in this climate, .308 ball is going for that most places in bulk. Also noticed Winchester .22 in 500 round +packaging, and were 36 grain Hollow Points. A red box, I have never seen these before. Federal website does not show this "Champion" ammo in 9mm, Maybe this is a Wal Mart exclusive? I have said that multiple times on the net. If you look @ the part number it is WMxxxx for 9mm,.40, and .45ACP. I don't know if the Fed is a replacement for the BB. One of my local WMs keeps getting in BB also. They had another new shipment in yesterday of .40 BB. Either way ammo is on the shelves. FB |

What was the price and was it the same price as Blazer in 45? I have some Blazer Brass in .45 but it was purchased about a year and a half ago when it was at the $12 mark, I believe it was $11.97. .45 ACP seems to be the most elusive in this brand. Every MegaLo Mart I go to has it in .40, 9mm you get lucky & find here or there but .45 is just not there.

It was priced @ $14.xx, and that was up from last month when it was $12.xx. I just missed out last month, but I had asked the guy behind the counter what the price was, and he looked it up. It was like $0.10 more than the Fed .40 IIRC. I have not seen any BB, or any other .45, in months. FB |

Im starting to dislike the champion 9mm. The brass seems to lake nice polishing, 2 of the rounds in a box I shot out of today had rounds that were seated improperly, case bent. It was enough that I noticed it while loading the magazine. Its probably manufactured over seas with little quality control. if it is made in the usa then federal has gone to crap.

Here is my score....note the 2 boxes on the right side of the pic. I have not had a chance to shoot any of it yet.
Anybody have any input on the quality or performance of this ammo? It is starting to show up regularly around here, and is cheaper than the WWB VP's. I checked every round, and no noticable defects or flaws. Appears to be brass cased and copper jacketed FMJ. I do not know what the RN stands for on the label. |

I've only fired about 50 rounds of it through my MKII. Still have A LOT of Federal bulk pack .22 left; I bought the Winchester out of curiosity more than anything. Also frustrated that the Federal 550 round packs haven't been in stock for months (at $15.47 they're not even that great of a deal anymore). Coincidentally, my Wal-Mart has about ten 325 round packs of the Federal Automatch in stock. They've had it for a few weeks. No one around here is buying it apparently. I don't really shoot for match accuracy, and the bulk pack jacketed ammo always worked fine for me, so I don't buy it because the price is a bit higher than I'd like for plinking ammo. Haven't been able to get any 9mm at WM in a long while. |

My local Walmart has probably ~3K of 9mm and ~1500 of .40 S&W sitting on the shelf as of last night... I have enough (for now) of both, so I'm holding out for .45ACP

Federal and CCI are both owned by atk from what i've been told. But either way i picked up 8 boxes of the federal champion 9mm from walmart along with 3 boxes of remington 9mm and 7 boxes of federal automatch this week from walmart along with 4 boxes of remington 9mm from dick's this week. Hopefully I can find some .45 and .380 sometime in the near future.

Haven't been able to get any 9mm at WM in a long while. I'm gonna try a pack of those Winchesters and see how they run. I have an accurized 10-22 with a match chamber that doesn't like some ammo, and loves others. I also have an old Stoeger Luger that is finicky, however they both love the AutoMatch and Mini Mags. In my mind the AutoMatch is still not too bad as Green Tag and others cost more and don't shoot any better. The Auto Match is slightly less velocity than a Mini Mag, but still is faster than most target loads. It's kind of in the midlle between standard & high velocity. My old Mark 2's eat just about anything until they get really nasty and need a good cleaning. |

Just finished 100 rounds at the range during lunch. Like it better than the Blazer Brass it's replacing. Shoots well and seems to be cleaner than the BB.
Our local Walmart has tons in stock. Only thing that's still a little tough to get here is 22lr and .223. |

My Wal-Mart carries the $10 333 round packs as well, and have for about a year. The 555 round box pictured is the first I had ever seen that ammo packaged in that amount though, so the 555 round packs are probably a very recent development. Check your Wal-Mart next time, maybe yours will have a spot for this as well (these days you have to be rather persistent to catch the stuff in stock though). At least check for a spot labeled $15.97 by the Winchester .22LR |

Just got two boxes of the Federal 9mm today at Wally's World.
Left three 250 round UMC value packs on the shelf...$50 each is a bit steep to buy on such short notice. They also had a case of ten 100 round WWB value packs come in a day or two ago. I would have considered some, but they just sold out this morning. |

Apparently, the local WallyWorld employees do not know anything about a per customer box limit.... 
The local WM has a good stock of the Winchester 555 and the Fed 550. But only one box of 9mm UMC 
ETA: 
One more case of 10 at my other shooting location. |

My local WM has had the Federal 9mm for the past few weeks. They also have been having the Federal .223 100 round value packs the last few times.
After a few months of not being able to get anything at WM, the last 7 times I have been to WM I was able to grab either 9mm or .223 ammo. |
