You are lucky. Both 1oz Federal #6 and Australian Winchester 1oz #8s can be had at Walmart. Those are not in locked cabinet so you don't have to wait for clerk to open case and ring you up. Nice.


Australian Winchester shot shells?? At Walmart?? Will someone please explain. I am not familiar with these. What differences are there in them from US Winchester shells???


As you probably know Browning shot shell line is loaded for Browning by Winchester. When you look at 12ga or 20 ga loads from either Winchester or Browning line the side of box is imprinted Made in USA, but when it comes to 16ga loads the shells are loaded in Australia. Both 1oz Winchester and Browning branded shells are loaded to 1165fps the only difference Winchester line uses Cheddite cases labelled Winchester while Browning 16ga line is loaded into shells with couple of stars at the base. No mistake the grey boxed Winchester 1oz #8 shot shells sold at Walmart come from Australia. If you look at back of the box the shot cup pic looks different from US loaded shells. Anyway those are premium shells priced at over $9 per 25 cartridge box.
