Highest quality cheap ammo

[scndactive]

Of the major ammo players, which have you found to be the least problematic and the most consistent/accurate of their ''discount'' ammo.

 

[Mags]

Blazer Brass in my opinion.

 

[jakemccoy]

Blazer Brass is king of the cheap ammo. I'm talking about their .40 cal FMJ specifically.

 

[NC-Mike]

CCI

Isn't Wolf a major player? All the Wolf ammo I ever shot went boom.

Except one round.

 

[Marlin 45 carbine]

another blazer brass fan here.

I agree, but I would also add Sellier & Bellot. It is a little more expensive but of better quality. I have owned my Beretta M9 for years without a jam and it has only jammed twice and both times it was CCI Blazer Brass. Now, it was only two jams in 150 rounds of Blazer but the Magtech and Federal I usually fire have never jammed with a few thousand rounds of each through the gun.

 

[Dominus]

CCI Blazer (.22) has 100% go bang with me [so far].

 

[mesinge2]

I have never had a problem with the .22 ammo either just the 9mm, but for all I know it could have been a bad batch of ammo.

 

[NC-Mike]

CCI aluminum-cased ammo will cycle in my hi-power clone all day while the CZ-75B chokes on it.

You don't know if your gun will like it, till you try it.

 

[Quentin]

Blazer Brass for me too.

 

[scottaschultz]

For target shooting, PRVI Partizan. I use their 38 Special and even with shipping, it is about the same as WWB with sales tax added.

[JWF III]

For target shooting, PRVI Partizan

Have to agree. Of those listed, I'd vote "none of the above", simply because their cheapest isn't very cheap anymore.

I've seen the PRVI in the store lately but I never tried it, would you say it is better that the Blazer Brass?

 

[Gadzooks Mike]

I like .40 Blazer and I like 30-30 Monarch.

I've seen the PRVI in the store lately but I never tried it, would you say it is better that the Blazer Brass?

Absolutely! It is boxer primed so it is reloadable (but I haven't done that with these... yet!)

Wideners has 38 Special for $13.90/50, so if you want some, get it now!

AmunitionToGo has had it in 500 and 1000 round quantities but they appear to be sold out at the moment.

Luckygunner also has some, but it is $19/50 for the same stuff

Scott

P.S. Just remember to save some for your old pal Scott for letting you in on some of his secret suppliers!

 

[mesinge2]

Thanks, Scott going there now

I promise I won't take it all

Just kidding, I won't

 

[Erik M]

i almost always use Blazer Brass for the 9mm and .38 to plink with. Back when it was easily available that is

 

[bogie]

Highest quality cheap ammo? None of the above.

Reload. You're not going to save a ton, but you'll be able to shoot more, and you'll know that it's made to the best of your ability.

 

[doc2rn]

I think WWB is still the most desired of the ones listed for my handguns, although none of it is cheap anymore. For my rifles I prefer the CCI in the rimfires.

 

[longdayjake]

Try HSM.

 

[Nugilum]

Federal .22LR Bulk and American Eagle have been good to me.

 

[Mags]

Is American Eagle a line of Federal ammo? I think they are.

 

[Nugilum]

^ Yep

 

[H1500308]

Never had a problem with any of the above for plinking/target in my autoloading handguns.

I'd add PMC bronze, Fiocchi, and Magtech in there as well as good value ammo, especially the PMC.

 

[Dr_2_B]

I suppose Winchester White Box.
