im looking at the winchester super x and federal powershok ammo in .243, both are 80gr soft points. prices are both around the $17 range. and ive seen the federals for $2 lower at one place. just curious which of these two brand most people prefer for cheaper factory ammo? and why? is one generally better than the other?

I personally would lean towards the Federal, but the advice above is great advice, Find out what your weapon prefers and don't look back.

Both are great. I use Federal in my 243 and Winchester in my 280. See which one the rifle patterns best with and you will have your answer. I have other rifles that like some of the Remington stuff.
 
If not reloading, I'd go with whichever is more accurate in your gun. If reloading, I like re-using Winchester brass much better than Federal. Federal brass is soft.
 
I use federal power shocks as well. My Hows 1500 in .308 loves the 150 grain bullets. Plus they have put a hurting on some deer and elk that I have shot with them.
