what ammo would you choose to use. I can get all of these for about .20-.21 cents a peice.

I've heard a lot of people talk about the Blazer ammo. I've never shot any of the rounds you've listed. But I know you can get WWB in .40S&W for about .18 a round.

Good friend of my switched from WWB to Blazer Brass. A lot cleaner and same price point.

For what?
Self Defense?
Target Practice?
Competition?

I use the Blazer Brass myself at the range.

Use the ammo that shoots closest like your carry ammo, if you carry.

Otherwise, I'd go with either the Speer Lawman (either) or the CCI Blazer.

From the choices I picked Blazer Brass. I have shot the 180 GR but prefer the 165GR. Both are very good.

I usually go with what is cheapest at the time I am buying. However never been a fan of CCI.
