Reload my own.............that's the cheapest I've been able to find anywhere

RioMan1911 · 06-22-2008, 06:19 PM

I shoot Winchester White Box most of the time because it is readily available at Wally World and shoots very reliably in all of my pistols and revolvers. When I can get it at a good price, I also shoot Blaser Aluminum. I actualy have had problems with Blaser Brass in .45 ACP. I have had a few cases crack when shooting in full moon clips in a S&W 625.

WWB only problem ever had was the slug (bullet or whatever) and not properly crimped into the casing glad I did not pull the trigger on that one.

Winchester White Box, 115gr FMJ from Wal-Mart.

Although, it has almost doubled in price since I started shooting onlt a few years ago.

Out of the options listed its mostly WWB in 9MM or .45. 357 Sig gets American Eagle Federal ammo. Also have been known to buy a case of Magtec from the local gunstore for each caliber.

WWB
American Eagle
or Magtec in that order.

I have been shooting Wolf lately.

When I buy - whatever's cheapest between WWB & UMC. I chose UMC in the poll since it was only single choice, but I also reload both my plinking & target ammo.
I tend to like UMC the best overall for accuracy vs. price.

I use so much I find it's cheaper to reload

**DanTheEldest** · 07-06-2008, 05:30 PM

I'll use whatever I can find in a pinch, but ideally I much prefer Fiocchi. Just IMO I think it's manufactured to a slightly higher standard than other "cheap" ammo, it's loaded slightly hotter than other practice rounds, and the brass is very nice--suitable for picking up and saving even if you're not into reloading yet.
