Hello what is the best ammo for my XDM 3.8.
So far white box Winchester or federal at walmart seems ok. The federal seems to leave copper in barrel as the winshester does not.
Which is the best all around round and cheapest?

Whatever you find that cheapest. They're all the same.

 

[Thunder71]

For shooting practice, I use whatever is cheaper/available between Federal, Winchester and Remington.

For self defense I go with Remington Ultimate Home Defense.

I will shoot virtually any non corrosive 9. Whatever is cheapest.

what is non corrisive

It means the primer mixture and/or powder doesn't contain anything that would cause your gun to rust after shooting.

For practice, whatever's cheapest. For carry in 9mm, Speer Gold Dot 124 gr. +p.

Federal HST 147gr +P for SD. The only rule I have about the plinking ammo is that I like to say with actual brass casings. Winchester white box is my go-to for the cheap stuff. I don't like shooting Wolf or Tula. Cheap stuff usually shoots quite a bit dirtier, and I have seen some guns be finicky about ultra-cheap ammo where WWB ran like a charm through them.

Federal's American Eagle (AE9DP) was what I found at the best price at our gun show recently...no FTFs or FTEs so far, and shot fairly clean.

All jacketed ammo leaves copper in the bbl. So buy a box ro two of each & shoot them. Choose the one that is the most reliable & most accurate. There is a diff in form brand to brand as to accuracy, but it may not matter. Blasting at 7yds, everything goes into one ragged hole. Now stretch it out to 25yds, yeah, ammo brand matters.

Being new here I don't have to ask these questions as they have all been asked before and all I have to do is search. This site is loaded with great info. Thanks to everyone that helps out.

I ran 100 rounds of the winchester sxz9 training rounds through my xd subcompact 9mm and was fairly clean afterwards and no jams or anything like that.

9mm 115 gr. RN - B


1000 rounds of fmj 115 gr for 179.

 

[Policidoc]

Cheapest and best are two different things. I bought 1000 rounds of Winchester nickel 9mm and I like it. I have also shot Wolf and it seemed to get the job done. I am not using them as SD but for the range they serve there purpose.

 

[KTXdm9]

Lots of good deals to be had online. I just buy a few boxes and test until you find something you like. I've had good luck with Speer Lawman.

cheaperthandirt has been out of stock on PDX1 9mm +p for a long time, WTF

Have you actually used this ammo? How was it?

 

[impostor71]

I've been shooting Speer Lawman 115gr and they've been feeding my PPQ very well. No FTF or FTE. I recently got some 124gr as well to see if i notice any difference.
