Can you answer a question for a new guy?
Is this the correct WWB ammo for my XD-9. Is the 115gr OK?

Yes great plinking ammo

That stuff (WWB) is 'plinktastic'.
Check Wally World for best prices.
Blazer is great too.. some ranges don't allow steel cases so you might have to get Blazer Brass, which is nominally more.
Pick up 2 boxes of CorBon for Personal-D (one to make sure your XD likes it, one for BG takedown).

Just for your info regular blazers are aluminum wolf is steel

Exactly.
My local indoor range has a no Blazer/Wolf policy.
Probably because they sell the brass.

Thanks for being gentle on my n00bishness!

I picked up a VP at WaldorfWorld for $11.50.

My range doesn't allow Wolf or hollow points. They do allow reloads that I buy from the gun show (fmj) and I can bring my own targets. Plus, they give a discount to active/retired le (It's about $3 and I appreciate it). I usually buy their targets because of the discount.

I usually only interact with one staff person and he has been real nice, informative and generally very helpful. When I bought my SA 1911 milspec from one of the members here, I had it sent to them. He took the time, when it was delivered, to show me how to disassemble/assemble it (I had only shot 2 1911s there I had rented and didn't know much about them.)

No HP? Is it a lead issue?

As mentioned in another post, I would write Winchester and send a copy to the Range management. I can't count the number of rounds of WWB value pack my guns have seen with "0" problems. These guys were trying to spoof you into buying "thier" ammo. Take your business elsewhere and help spread the word about the crappy range. That range will fold to the economics of the customer!!!

Personally, I used to use WWB, but I recently switched to exclusively using MagTech ammo for plinking. I haven't tried their defense loads yet, though.
