    Win White Box aka WWB. I was getting it for $11.99/50 a few months back, now its $13.99/50. Now I am reloading my own. In my 1911 out of 4-5k of WWB, never had a failure to fire. They all went bang, fairly clean. I was anal and cleaned the gun after every session. Haven't cleaned her in over 1000 WWB, trying to see how dirty I can get her, and still be reliable.

    I have picked up most of my Win brass and other range brass. I am a scrounge and people look at me funny, but who cares.

      I'm a decent enough shot that I can tell when it's the ammo and not me. That said, I like AE in 9mm and WWB in .45. (Or, rather, my guns like those particular loads.) AE .45 is also pretty good, if a bit underpowered compared to the WWB. I get some pretty mean fliers w/ WWB 9mm when I'm shooting long range, however. Not too often, but it pisses me off enough that I don't buy it anymore. Function for both brands and calibers have been 100%, no complaints there.

        I've shot all of those except the Armscor Once Fired in my Milspec, and they all work fine for me. I buy whatever's cheapest when it's time to stock up again, and avoid reloads.

        I don't reload myself, so can't speak to the brass quality.
