    9mm ammo experience?

    Most ammunition available online is accompanied by 'reviews', but does anyone here have anything, good, bad, or ugly, to say about these products?

    115gr, FMJ, brass

    - Winchester (Service grade)

    - Winchester (White Box)

    - Blazer

    - Fiocchi

    I use mostly Fiocchi and S&B for plinking, no problems.

      My ruger P95 does not shoot Blazer Brass 9mm ammo well at all. I find it dirty and inaccurate in my gun.

      Here are ten rounds of Winchester White Box 9mm 115 grain FMJ from my Ruger PC Carbine at 25 yards. I like this ammo a lot and the brass is great for reloading.



      If you're looking for economical 115 grain ammo, check out the Remington UMC 9mm 115gr JHP. It performs great in my guns with good accuracy and reliable expansion. Check out the reviews for it on YouTube.

          Blazer and American Eagle are my favorite in my P226 and Glock. Burns clean. I am not accurate enough to discern differences in accuracy or fliers.

          I have Fiocchi but it isn't my favorite because it tends to be a little bit on the hot side. On my p226 or Glocks it doesn't matter, but if I am shooting my PM9 or 290RS then I prefer something less hot.

          YMMV but Winchester has the most fouling for me, so it is my least favorite. But if it is on sale, I have no problem shooting Winchester White box.

            Shoot all that without issue.

            Don't get me started on Tula Brass

                    They all do go bang. Just up the cleaning and you will be fine.

                      Winchester and American...thousands and thousands of rounds...no issues.
                      Wilson Protector .45, Springer 9mm Loaded, Franchi Instinct SL .12ga. and some other cool stuff for the kiddos...

                          they are all good especially from big companies like Fed, Win, Rem, S&B , Magtech, Blazer, all excellent!

                          I dont like to use TULA 9mm because it's steel jacketed plus steel cased, I never liked using steel jacketed bullets in a high quality gun like a HK , SIG , Glock, etc

                          but have no problem using steel jacketed ammo in a com bloc pistol like a Tokarev, Makarov.

                            Can't speak for the others, but Blazer Brass 115 gr FMJ delivers groups of 3 inches or less at 12.5 yards with my CZ 75 SP-01. Consequently, I have two cases of the stuff now.

                              I've shot a lot of various 9mm ammo in my SA 1911, much of it discount branded, reloads, some premium stuff.

                              As long as it's FMJ it all shot 100%.

                              Come to think of it, the 9mm 1911 seems more forgiving of hollow points than my .45 1911...

                              I've written up my ongoing adventures as I learn to hunt.

                              Yes, you CAN fit a case of shotgun shells into a .50cal ammo can.

                              I think i found an optimal solution for ammo can labeling.


                              I made this target for the NRA's Marksman pistol test. I think it's a lot better than the paper plate they suggest.
