Reloading will allow one to achieve tighter shot groups than what is available over the counter.Originally posted by BumslieHK - the best 600 dollar gun, 900 dollars can buy.Originally posted by SleighterGetting legal advice from a gun salesman, is like getting medical advice from a janitor at a hospital. Both make about the same per hour and both prove that being around something all day doesn't make you an expert.

+1 on reloading
But it's not just the brand of ammo but also depends on the gun itself. My 1911 loved cheap WWB & Remington (of course with the occasional flyers here and there) but really hated Federal and wolf. I also suggest not using steel cased ammo.Comment

If you're looking at just straight ball ammo, it's hard to beat Winchester White Box. When I was in the Navy, back around the turn of the century (God, it's weird to think of it like that!) the 9mm ammo that we were issued was plain ol' WWB. Came in the green ammo cans, but the boxes inside were the same stuff you could buy at Wal Mart. The .45 ACP is good, too. I've never had a problem with either caliber, in WWB.NRA Life Member

I don't buy the most expensive ammo but I also don't buy the cheapest. On the places that review ammo, I see more negative reviews for the no-name ammo and the Blazer stuff.
I personally shoot Fiocchi 115 gr. FMJ but I'm thinking about trying some Spear Lawman and I got given some WWB as a gift that had no problems.My Guns:
SP 2022 9mm - 2575 rounds
Hi-Point Carbine 9mm | Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot |Magpul BUIS 45 degree offset - 140 rounds
