I shop at Walmart just about every time I need hunting gear, from thermal underware to guns and ammo. I highly doubt that a manufacturer would spend the money to make their products with less quality specially for Walmart, thats just bad business. They would have to have different machines set at different tollerances, run a different production line, buy different metals, use inferior bullets, bad powder, pay more people to run these machines, etc. etc. They also still have to put their name on the package and I highly doubt any of them want to see their reputation go to crap because they sell inferior products at Walmart.
