typically i buy ammunition from the local range when i go but i decided to go out and pick some up before hand this time to save a little cash... well i swung by the local dicks sporting goods and they had the remington umc ammo on sale the 9mm which i was there to get was on sale for 6.98/per 50 round box when you buy 10 or more boxes... any one have experience with this ammunition or comments about it??? its just being used for range practice.. either way it goes i have 8 boxes of it left so ill be using it any way it goes

I have been using it for a while and out of thousands of rounds I only had one dud, the primer was not in straight. Overall it has been a good practice round.

I've shot a lot of it with no problems. It's comparable to WWB.

Slightly more accurate than the winchester white box and ALOT cleaner.

I prefer it head and shoulders over WWB. It is second only to Fiocchi IMO.

I've got a bunch of it for my AR. I have had no issues. I have not used any 9mm though...

I buy both the 9mm and .45 ACP Remington UMC at Dick's by the case and go thought it like candy. Many thousands of rounds - no complaints.

Same here....no problems in almost 900 rounds. I've also bought a bunch by the case @ Dick's and have a pretty decent supply. Usually I buy the WWB at Walmart, but this turns out to be cheaper when you buy at least a case. Don't worry, it'll go bang!

I've used both. One time I brought both WWB and UMC with me to the range. I shot all of the UMC first, and when I switched to WWB, both my friend and I noticed an immediate increase in felt recoil. I am convinced WWB packs a little more punch.

Also, I find that UMC is not very consistent in bullet seating. I wrote about it here when I was new to handguns: bullet uniformity

I much prefer Fiocci to either WWB or UMC, but between the two cheapies, I prefer WWB.

well looks like im all set for a few more trips to the range with out the need to be curious about the quality.. thanks for the responses

i just bought 500rds of these Remingtons.

they are $40+tax for 250rds at WAL MART. about the same as the WWB.

i'll see how derty it gets and if the rounds are inconsistently shaped
