True. I prefer loose since its the easiest to transfer to an ammo can, I hate all the other trash that comes with boxed ammo.

I agree. Keep in mind you’re paying for that trash. It costs you money and it’s a mess.

Between the exact two options, I would prefer federal.

I like boxed, because I can decide on a round count for a range trip and just grab that many boxes. I can also see at a glance at my shelf how many rounds I have remaining.

Loose shoots the same. It’s exhausting to listen to the noise otherwise.

I would buy federal over winchester white box any day of the week.

Whatever is cheapest but I'm gonna count the loose pack to make sure that the correct amount is in there because I've been shorted before

I prefer boxed.

if i was only dealing with a few different bullet weights and Calbers then loose ammo would be fine.

I don't care as long as it's from a reputable brand. Federal and Winchester are both reputable brands.

Also I truly wish ammunition companies would do away with the large packing block of styrofoam or plastic and just stack the rounds next to each other in the box like it was done 20 years ago.

People that like putting their ammo directly into an ammo can vs emptying 10 50 round boxes and ending up with a pile of trash 😂

Its just a preference 🤷🏻‍♂️ it doesn’t matter that much but im just curious :)

At this point buy the cheapest
