How about everyone's go to factory ammo these days?

Seems like since covid consistency of a lot of go to ammo has become unpredictable. I use to have good luck with the magtech and the federal nato. Quality has gone downhill.

What are you guys using/recommending for factory practice ammo? 124/147 preferred.

Blazer has run just fine for me so far.

Haven't needed to run new factory ammo in quite awhile for practice - just getting reman ammo as cheap as possible. Depending on the day, promo, etc, Miwall, Southern Munitions, Ammunition Depot's Sportsman's Select end up being the cheapest, delivered. Would love to find cheaper, but those ones seem to always end up being the best bottom-line value.

I run 124gr for whatever reason. Learned my lesson on the reman ammo, so no more of that crap for me. I run whatever is cheapest blazer,magtech,ammo inc, federal,wolf etc.

I'm hesitant on reman rifle ammo, but pistol has been excellent. At most, maybe 1 round in a 1000 has been a bit oversized and didn't chamber well, no problems beyond that. What happened with you in reman pistol ammo to turn you off to it?

I'm slowly burning it up. But you get a round every mag or so that's maybe a bit long or something. It'll almost chamber. Has failed in 2 M&P's, a shield, CZ P01, and my prodigy.

There is not enough savings to deal with that kinda BS. So I'll happily spend a bit more for factory ammo, until I decide to stop being lazy and load for 9mm myself.

That's good to know, I'll stay away from that option.
