Walmart Ammo: Winchester 9MM

[yeahYeah]

i just picked up a 100 box of 9 MM FMJ for $18. Good deal?

100 count hollow points were $30.00

[ForTehNguyen]

in houston its $16.14. Yea its the least expensive 9mm I can find. It shoots fine too, havent had a FTE/FTL yet, unlike Monarch. Only thing is its packed loose, I bought a mega pack of remington UMC and kept those nice black trays they give you. I might buy another mega pack to get 5 more trays Then I just buy WWB and put them in the trays for convenience

[yeahYeah]

i am using the FMJ for practice, but i want to pick up high end hollow pts for home and for when i carry. Any suggestions?

Federal HST or Speer Dots seem to get good reviews for defense ammo

I was going to keep the old trays too until I discovered the Uplula loader!!!! Now I look for the boxes with the loose rounds. Get yourself a loader and you will never look back. Best twenty two bucks I ever spent.

Thats cheap Houston - Dallas it's $18.42. Stock up, nothing is going to get cheaper in the future and ammo is going to be as good as money if the SHTF someday.

Does that thing speed up loading very much or just make it easier on the thumbs? Based on some vids on youtube it doesn't really look any faster since you have to turn the rounds the right direction still. When they make a thing like butlercreek makes to load it's "hot lips" 22LR mags (or any ruger 10/22 style), I'll be interested... just load the box and turn the crank.

its a lot faster and easier on the thumbs than the XD loader. Plus you can use it on 99.9% of handgun mags

+1 on the UpLula. I've got the AR Lula (which is a must by the way) and the Uplula, and they're both great. A little pricey, but well worth it if you have to load a bunch of mags in a day, such as a class... when you're shooting 400-1000 rounds.
