I just bought an XD45, what should i break it in with?
I'm refering to ammo wise, I was thinking Magtech 230 gr. fmj's. atlantisarms.com has it for 50 rd for 11.75 plus shipping I believe.
BTW This is my first gun and my friend who has been shooting alot likes anything that goes bang, which doesnt help. Any advice will greatly be appreciated. Thanks |

Sorry to say, but your friend is on the right track. For practice, if it feeds reliably and won't damage your gun, you should shoot it. If it's cheap, that's a bonus. Lots of the forum members shoot Winchester White Box (WWB). Cheap, reliable, easy to find. Carry ammo, however, should be chosen with care. 100% reliability in all aspects of the ammo is essential. Cost should be a minor concern. After all, what is your life worth?

I like to run a mixed bag through a new gun to see if it will be problematic with anything. Conversely, running ball, hollowpoints, and semi-wadcutters through a gun right off the bat with no malfunctions is a nice confidence builder. I also like to run a lot of whatever will serve as the "duty" ammo for the gun - this can sure get expensive, especially with Hydrashocks, but really is essential is you will be depending on the gun.

I love Magtech for my range ammo and have been buying it when it's on sale (like it is now) for $12 + shipping by the case at Midway
