I use training ammo that has the same or similar ballistics as my carry ammo.

For carry I like Federal HST (9mm & 40) and Speer Gold Dot (40).

For training I use Sellier & Bellot (9mm), MaxxTech (9mm), and Federal American Eagle (40).

 

[MNsigfan]

Sig, S&B, Blazer, and Federal mostly. Winchester when it is cheap.

I have shot just about everything. Some 380 ammo that wouldn’t work in my Smith&wesson bodyguard was Priority One and freedom munitions although I usually use freedom for the range with my other handguns and have had good experiences. I haven’t shot any steel cased ammunition.

 

[aclarke333]

For the range, S&B, New Republic, CCI, Federal, Speer.

 

[Blackshirt]

I prefer Speer and Underwood, but I use Sellier and Bellot heavy FMJs in my .32 and .380 ACPs. Their 140 grain FMJ in .357 Sig makes a dandy field round…

 

[SP320365XL]

For range/stored ammo I typically try and buy CCI Blazer Brass and 9mm NATO loading by Winchester

EDC is Federal HST

Most blasting ammo is bulk 115gr reloadsor the above Blazer.

 

[Cooolone]

I found Fiocci to be the dirtiest ammo... But many like it.

Underwood is one of the absolute best ammo IMO, better than mass commercial brands as it is close to spec (1500ft) .357Sig and better spec for .380 otherwise Speer is very reliable a consistent.

Have a few boxes of Sig ammo left, amazed how they have pretty much abandoned their own design (.357Sig) but hey... Used to get reloads for that but lately have just kept all the Brass (once fired) in case some day I have to reload it to shoot, but for now will keep buying the round as needed. Range and Carry is the same, want predictability if ever needed!

Good Luck

 

[The Heretic]

Federal, some Winchester, Speer/CCI, Hornady

I avoid Remington, S&B, most Fiocchi and any reloads I do not make myself

 

[aerobat]

In 9mm i must say i never saw factory ammo that is really bad so at the range i use whatever is a good deal at the time of purchase .

Last 1000 rounds were s&b 124gr fmj , now i got ( here in germany ! ) winchester 124gr fmj at a good price !

The winchester seems to be hotter than s&b . More recoil , more muzzle flash . I like it since i feel more badass

For hunting ( .223 , 3006 ) i use norma , the same is true for jhp in 9mm .

I reload for edc rounds. Between my competition rounds and my self defense edc I have had 1 squib in 10's of thousands of rounds over the years. I have seen far to many people in competition settings have issues with factory ammo of all brands. Factories batch test were as I inspect and measure every single round that I carry for self defense. I have had good luck with pretty much every brand out there but not willing to chance someone missing something at the factory when my life may depend on it. Just my opinion

 

[sigke]

I always buy Underwood, Federal, Remington, & some other boutique ammo makers like Grizzly & Fort Scott.
My favorite are Underwood & Federal.

 

[Rat44]

I have settled on Federal HST for EDC defense loads.
Winchester gets used mainly for the range.

 

[pelican4544]

CCI SV for target in my rifles
CCI Mini mag for target in my semi pistols.
Stay away from Aguila and Armscor

 

[tazbigdog]

Most anything in a brass casing. No steel core for me.

 

[sandog]

I currently have a case of S&B and Mag-Tech. Have shot a lot of WWB and Blazer Brass with no issues.
As far as carry ammo, HST is the best.

 

[CoThG]

I treat my German guns (Sigs and HKs) the same as I treat my German cars. I would never put cheap gas in my cars, so I don't feed my guns cheap ammo. I use Speer Lawman for training and Gold Dot for defensive purposes.

 

[Lock n' Load]

For my 2 9mm's, Fiocchi 124 grain for range and Black Hills Honey Badger Subsonic 125 grain for EDC. For my P365 380, Blazer Brass Brass Case 95 grain for range and Black Hills Honey Badger 60 grain for EDC. All in factory new standard pressure to avoid excess wear.

 

[JH1961]

Go to: PMC, Federal, Speer and Hornady. Avoid like the plague: Ammo, Inc.

 

[DuckBob]

Mostly Federal, Sig and CCI (Blazer Brass). I avoid Freedom Munitions for pistol (bad experience).

What was you problem with their (Freedom) pistol ammo? Just curious. I had some of their 308 hunting ammo and it was HOT! Was blowing primers on me.
