I bought a Brick of "Cobra" Kilwell branded Winchester (made for NZ- dont know why it was here) quite cheaply, sounds like pretty much the same stuff.
I cant comment of its hunting attributes, but it had more than acceptable accuracy at the range.

Federal HP bulk back 525 rnds was only 34 bucks. Infinitely better ammo, Bette value for money.

Before buying a brick I would get a box and try it out first. Might shoot like a 12 gauge.

I like the 555 Winchester ammo (made in USA) for cheap ammo. I usually pay $50 for 555 rounds. Used to be $45 but gone up.

I just bought 5000 rounds of CCi standard velocity for $449 it shoots the best out of both my CZs. I agree with finding out what you gun likes before buying too much ammo in bulk.

That's as good an excuse as any I guess.
