Looking to get the low-down on inexpensive 9mm ammo that shoots well. What have you shot in this category that does well?

Just range/plinking ammo?

 

Get some USAAmmo.com rounds.

I use Sellier and Bellot which I got 1000 roudns for $200 to my door. Work perfect for me, however I have not found them that cheap again.

 

Anyone know of some good deals for 1K roudns under $200? Range Ammo

better deal on targetsports. $210 free shipping. Better by $6

That's 115-grain TMJ vs. the 124-grain FMJ. That may matter to some.

thought this was for plinking?

 

you said cheap range ammo. now there are requirements?

Nope, no requirements at all. Just making a statement. Thanks for the link and suggestion.

You can find American Eagle, Blazer, and S&B all under $200 for 1k if you look in the right places.

 

Cabela's just had an awesome ammo sale a couple weeks ago...S&B and Federal 9mm was $8.99 and Blazer was $7.99. I spent so much friggin money stocking up I probably could have bought a new gun but it was so worth it.

They have 115-grain JHP and 124-grain FMJ. The FMJ are noticably cheaper. What's the application/usage of the JHP's vs. the FMJ's?

Jhp makes cleaner holes.

While I have around 20 ammo websites I check however the following are the shortlist that I buy from most often as they are consistently the best on their pricing:

 

http://www.ammunitiontogo.com

http://www.natchezss.com/

http://www.sgammo.com/

http://palmettostatearmory.com/

http://www.targetsportsusa.com/

 

Palmetto shipping is $12 per 1000 rounds 9mm

TargetSportsUSA is free shipping for buying by the case (e.g. 1000 rounds 9mm FMJ, 400-500 rounds of .45 HP etc)

The others are typically around $30-$40 per 1000 rounds 9mm IIRC.

 

I've ordered from all the above and have not had any issues.

 

I typically order Speer, Federal, Sellier & Bellot or Winchester Ranger. At present the following can be found:

 

1000 x 9mm named brand FMJ = ~$200

1000 x .45 FMJ = $320 (Federal), $440 (Speer)

why is that?

I typically go to Natchez for my ammo. They have Remington UMC bulk packs for $50/250 or Federal AE for $10.49/50. They're shipping is usually reasonable. For 1000rds of Remington UMC it's $225 shipped. And being that I reload I won't buy anything not brass, and at that price it's usually only $0.50-1.00 cheaper per box, so not worth it to me.

Seriously though, why would someone choose one over the other (JHP vs. FMJ) in 9mm?

Thanks. I really appreciate that.

generally the FMJ is cheaper for range ammo. If you are using JHP for HD, my advise is to put a box or 2 thru the gun to make sure it likes it..

OK, thanks. So jacket-hollow-point is more appropriate in a self/home defense scenario then?

For defense, HP ammo will expand after entering any foreign body (including the attacker). This leaves a larger wound channel and lowers the chance of the target's survival. FMJ will go through without much expansion at all.
