I was just wondering if people are still sticking to their preferred ammo still given the current shortage right now. As we all know ammo is scarce especially with the more common caliber like 9mm and 45ACP. Are you just grabbing whatever you can get your hands on or are you holding out for your usual brand? I haven't been able to go to the range because I can not find my ammo anywhere because I usually only put American Eagle and sometimes Winchester through my guns but those are really hard to come by these days. Are there any negative impact of switching brands all the time? I just stick with one because I found AE rounds to be more reliable than others. I've have a few issues with certain rounds although very few. I'm dying to go back to the range and thinking about just picking up whatever I can get my hands on.

I prefer anything that's federal or hornady

i dont have a preference yet.. I have only shot Herter's and American Eagle in my CZ thus far (200 rounds total), so I cant judge anything just yet. I havent even been able to properly break in the gun to know what works better or worse...

I will shoot anything as long as it shoots.I will not pay gougers prices but I do have specific brands I like better and there are only a couple brands I stay away from. I shoot mostly 9 and if a certain ammo won't run in one of them I just try it in another pistol or PCC. If you want to shoot bad enough, brand don't matter all that much. I am lucky enough to have enough 9 for awhile.

I haven't found an ammo yet that my m9 or 1911 wont fire. Same with my ar's

 

I will say I buy PMC the most. Goes boom every time.

I will shoot anything as long as it shoots.

In these times, I would ALMOST consider reloads.

anyone shoot the freedom munitions stuff yet? (the new stock, not the reload stuff).. just got 10 boxes of that, but havent shot it yet

I've tried both their new stuff and the reloads. Never had a problem with either.

I shoot whatever is available, because that's the only way to find out if it functions through my stuff.

 

I litteraly have 3-4 different brands of each calibers I own

As long as it goes bang.

I shoot whatever I can get my hands on. I've also shot reloads from bullet hole. They make some good ammo. I'd prefer American eagle for .45 but beggars can't be choosers

Yeah. I think I've reached that point. I haven't been to the range since January. I'm dying to go again.

Another vote for this. I'm no expert, but I've never heard of any problem with switching brands, as long as it works in your gun.

Thats all I shoot. My reloads anyway.. When I need brass I will buy whatever I can find. I prefer PMC and Winchester for pistol but have found american eagle (federal) to be some decent stuff. For rifle I prefer Federal, Lake City or Winchester. Once the ammo has been shot, I reload it the way I would have preferred it in the first place.

Yeah, what Ken said. I prefer to roll my own.

It doesn't matter to me. As long as the case is brass and it's a known brand I will shoot it. So far never had a problem

 

I'm avoiding reloads and steel/aluminum for 9mm.  Shoot Federal (AE), Winchester, Remington, Hornady, S&B without any issues.  Got Blazer brass recently, had first FTE (after 600+ rounds).  I'll certainly use what I have but not sure if I buy it again.  Will see how the rest goes.  And, after S&B  spent more time cleaning, but I don't mind.

I shoot Freedom stuff all the time and have never had an issue with either the new or reman. stuff.  Have shot it in 9mm, .38spl, .357mg, .40 cal and .45 cal.

Anybody shoot wolf gold 55gr .223.  A couple of online stores have it for $339 +s/h

I have not.  I would consider it if the brass is good.  From what I have seen, its not a bad price for reloadable brass ammo.
