Odd... I've had the opposite experience. Federal (50 rnd 9mm FMJ from Walmart) leaves my gun almost looking like it hasn't been fired, but Winchester (100 rnd 9mm FMJ white box from Walmart) makes it look like I tumbled it around in a charcoal bag.

interesting.

After thinking about maybe im using too much lube? I like to run my 1911s wet but maybe its too much and the powder residue sticks to the oil/grease. You could be correct, sir.

Walmart in Baytown had the same. I bought a box, but I'm not sure if there were any more. They also had several boxes of Federal Champion .45 auto for $15.97/box. I bought 5 of them last week, and they had a bunch more. They also had Remington .45 auto for $18/box. I bought 3 last night.

FYI - I went through 3 boxes of the Federal .45 auto Sunday, and could not believe how filthy my pistol was when was finished. It had been cleaned prior to going, and it looked like it had never seen a cleaning kit when I got done. I was really shocked at how dirty it was. I was also have issues with the last round of the magazine with this ammo. I had 4 stovepipes, and a failure to eject. All with this ammo, and all on the last round of the magazine. I was using Para factory mags and Wilson Combat mags. I had no issues using my Kimber Mag. I did shoot 20 rounds of Speer Gold Dots without issue, 2 mags full of hydrashocks, and 2 mags of WWB JHP without issue also. Judging from my experience, it appeared to be an issue with the federal ammo.

Found the same prices at the Pearland walmart. The only problem I have with the Pearland Walmart is that you need to be an expert tracker to find someone to open the case for you.

In regards to Federal, i agree...its very dirty. Winchester seems to be much more clean.
