I don't know yet, that is what the guy at Wal-Mart is pushing since they don't have the Winchester White Box any more.  I picked up a couple of boxes but haven't been to the range yet.

I have been shooting it for a couple of months and find it to be better than the commonly available Wolf brand.Usually Bass Pro will have it for around $4.99/box.It is accurate in my rifle.

I asked the same question a week or so ago:

It sounds like it doesn't shoot as well as the Winchester White Box.  I just bought a 200 rd. pack recently.  I haven't shot it yet.  Every gun is different though.  I'll save the brass for when I buy a reloading press.
