Where to find selections of 9mm ammo?

[Piranha21 0]

I live in the Deptford area ... Want to try some different ammo to see what I like best for 9mm (hd). All I come across is Hornady critical duty/defense. Anyone know of any shops in my relative area fr some other choices? I had found this list. And would like to try some of

them... Barnes XPB 115 gr JHP (copper bullet)

Federal Tactical 124 gr JHP (LE9T1)

Federal HST 124 gr +P JHP (P9HST3)

Remington Golden Saber 124 gr +P JHP bonded (GSB9MMD)

Speer Gold Dot 124 gr JHP

Speer Gold Dot 124 gr +P JHP

Winchester Partition Gold 124 gr JHP (RA91P)

Winchester Ranger-T 124 gr +P JHP (RA9124TP)

Winchester Ranger Bonded 124 gr +P JHP (RA9BA)

Winchester Ranger-T 127 gr +P+ JHP (RA9TA)

Federal Tactical 135 gr +P JHP (LE9T5)

Federal HST 147 gr JHP (P9HST2)

Remington Golden Saber 147 gr JHP (GS9MMC)

Speer Gold Dot 147 gr JHP

Winchester Ranger-T 147 gr JHP (RA9T)

Winchester 147 gr bonded JHP (RA9B/Q4364)

 

Thanks for any info...

Unless you have a lot of moolah to work with, I'd suggest picking about 4-6 off that list that had positive results on the FBI's ballistics list or whatever it is and start with them. If you even just bought 1 box of everything on that list, it will get very pricey.

 

Also, it will be very difficult to find most of those at any local retailer. They will probably have the Sabers, Gold Dots, and possibly Hydrashocks. I hate always pointing to the internet, but for this specifically, it will be much easier to just buy a bunch of boxes off a reputable online retailer.

I have found that you really gotta buy ammo online. You will spend a lot less that way. Gold dot's and windchester ranger (in both 9 and 40) were liked by all of my guns. Keep a look out online for 50 round boxes, those 20 and 25 round ones end up costing you more from what i have seen.

I'm not looking to try them all... Just a few of them

[tony357 386]

Federal Tactical 124 gr JHP (LE9T1)

 

This one..

You can hit quite a few of those at a Walmart in PA. They really upped their game on defensive calibers a couple years ago. They got a lot of the trendy stuff like Corbon and PDX, and a smattering of the traditional Federal and Winchester. The question is, which Walmart. Selection varies. I don't live down that way. There are also a lot of indoor ranges in PA down that way.

Some of those rounds have a large hollow point cavity, and may not chamber a round in certain hand guns. If you have a sig go to the sig form and look for info on best hd ammo for that certain firearm. It may save you a few bucks. Run a box or two down the pipe to make sure there are no feeding issues. You also didn't list any Corbon ammo. Online vendors are the cheapest for hd ammo.

I bought one box of each (or most of them) from the Internet suppliers, seemed to be good, to try on MrsWombat's EMP. Many of them come in boxes of 20 or 25.

 

I still personally prefer Speer Gold Dot +P and it gives good results on the expansion tests. You can get the 50 round boxes (LE) for a somewhat sensible price.

I'd use sgammo.com. Good prices on 9mm Gold Dot's. $26 for 50rds.

[tony357 386]

I found a few of the choices at discountammosales and order a few hundred rounds to try. I have since read very mixed reviews about their track record. Only time will tell. Hopefully my experience will be a good one

i was under the impression that midway didn't sell to jersey residents anymore. did something change?

 

anyway, hornady critical defense has great reviews.. its what i keep loaded in my 92fs. i've never shot balistics gelitan with it or anything so i can't tell you from first hand, but most everyone i've talked to thinks highly of them.

[Piranha21 0]

Ended up buying 100 rounds of gold saber 147gr and 100 rounds if federal hi-shock 147gr. Ordered on Saturday and they were on my doorstep today. Quick turn around and good prices

Yesterday I just tried to buy two extra mags for my new Bodyguard 380 along with two boxes of .380 SilverTips and Midway shot me down for not being able to ship handgun ammo to NJ. Did I mention I hate this f-ing state...

[Piranha21 0]

Discountammosales did not even ask for my FID card. I even emailed them to make sure they didn't need it. I was surprised

yeah this place sucks. one day i will get out, till then i will be moving "forward" with NJ...

I have always found this is a good site to start my search

Then I also do a bing search and gun broker just to check value.

 

Have fun!

ammunitiontogo.com is the best that I've found online for defensive ammo. It was the only place that I was able to find Federal EFMJ, which some think would not be considered a hollowpoint or dum dum bullet under NJ law. Good prices and many varieties of self-defense ammo, in particular harder to find ammo marketed to law enforcement.

[TheWombat 67]

SGAmmo has 50 round boxes of Speer Gold Dot (.45 ACP 185gr, 200gr +P and 220gr plus 9mm 124gr and 124gr+P) etc. The 50 round boxes work out much much cheaper. Speer Gold Dot +P is used by many of the police forces.

 

e.g.

50 rd box - Speer Gold Dot 9mm 124 +P LE Hollow Point 53617 - $25.95 each

50 rd box - Speer Gold Dot 45 Auto +P 200GR GDHP Ammo 53969 - $31.95 each

 

Many other retailers sell the 20 round boxes for close to that price.

 

Worth considering Gold Dot, it is legal to use at the home or at the range in NJ.

 

The problem I find with ammoseek is that a number of the more common places are not listed. I typical find SGAmmo, AmmunitionToGo, TargetSportsUSA and Natchez Shooters Supplies consistently offer good pricing. I just check which is cheaper for what I am after - and then just check on AmmoSeek if anyone can beat it.

+1 for Wombat on trying several places and searches as all are not on one link.

 

PDM, ammoman.com has EFMJ in stock and although they do not ship to NJ, they will offer a discount if you go down and pick up.
