Whats the difference between w1 and w2? First I noticed the box sizes then I saw the numbers what gives?
Possibly mfrs. sku number. The w1 probably designates it as 155 grain, the w2 is 180

Yeah, probably the sku no. At first I was going to buy one but after walking off I turned around and grabbed another. It was in the same stack so I didn't look. Oh well, anyway I looked at the ballistics of both and the 155 showed more velocity and more energy than the 180 so I didn't bother to take it back.
For some reason I missed the 155/180 part to focused on thr part numbers
You'll find that the 155s are going to be more "snappy" in recoil, which sounds odd because usually lighter bullets have less "felt" recoil. But that's just the way forties shoot. Both boxes you got are really good premium ammo and paper specs for both blow .45Auto out of the water.
Just because the 180s don't sizzle like the 155s please don't think that they are less effective! My dept issue ammo is .40S&W Federal HST and I specifically chose to order the 180-gr for our guys because it is a helluva good round with excellent penetration and less felt recoil. I did not care for the lighter bullet with it's recoil characteristic.
