Does anyone else have an issue with Winchester ammo?

I bought a value pack of 2 3/4" 12 gauge shotgun shells from Walmart...two different shotguns (older ithica semi and a new 870) would have ejection problems.

Same day shooting Skeets, I had three different kinds of 22lr ammo with many misfires (all Winchester and all from Canadian tire).

Federal never gave me such grief.

Is it the winchester in the white box? if so the shells are cheap, they expand and get stuck in your chamber because the cheap metal base, i stopped using them, stayed with federal top gun or remington gun club at $57 a flat
 
I have had nothing but issues with Winchester ammo. Even went so far as to e-mail them only to be completely ignored. I am one of many I know and hunt with that will not touch the cr@p that Winchester puts out.

Remington and Federal? None of my guns have had a problem with any of their rounds I've put through them. Never had an issue dropping an animal with them either.
 
The cheap Winchester shotshells use an aluminum base instead of steel or brass so they expand horribly and stick. Remingtons seem especially problematic with them for some reason according to some guys at a local skeet and trap club I know.
 
I picked up some cheapo winchester 12ga sheels in no4 steel and every 4 or 5 rounds it seems like the hull expands and is a bit longer then normal and won't eject out sideways, the front end of the hull gets hung up as it tries to swing out sideways
