Hey all. This is my very first thread of my own at Calguns. I've recently started shooting and will be picking up my S&W Shield 9mm in a few days. I've been going to a local gun range, took lessons, and tried different handguns before settling on this one.
The reason for this post is to figure out how to save money on ammo. I buy a bag of 50 rounds for $20 at the range. I've search this forum for "cheap ammo" posts, and after doing research, I've found a few different options for 9mm. They are:
1. AMERICAN STEEL - 9MM 115 GR RN NEW: https://www.freedommunitions.com/amm...steel-new.html

2. 9mm Tulammo 115gr, FMJ Ammo, 1000rd Case: http://www.jgsales.com/9mm-tulammo-1...e.-p-5579.html

3. LAX Ammunition Factory New 9 MM 115 GR 1500 RDS: https://www.laxammo.com/lax-factory-...man-can-detail

Ammo rules at my local range are:
1. Semi-jacketed soft or hollow point & exposed lead rounds are not permitted.
2. Ammunition with cases other than brass are not permitted.
I'm hoping experienced shooters here can point me in the right direction. I don't want to go too cheap where the ammo breaks my gun or get ammo that most ranges won't accept. I just want to be able to go to the range more often. And I don't think I want to get into reloading yet because my whole place is carpeted.
Thanks in advance for all of your replies.
