Medicaptain Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Just about to take possession of a Performance 5" to do Steel Challenge and other local competitions here in Phoenix AZ. Anyone found a preferred ammo (and source) other than reloading, for the M&P? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramnj Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I've been shooting the Performance Center 5" for the last several weeks in Steel Challenge and USPSA but do it more for fun. With that said, I've been using Fiocchi 115gr that I buy in bulk for less than $10 a box. If I can't find the Fiocchi I'll buy what ever is the cheapest brass ammo I can find. Other guys I've spoken to do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicaptain Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Good info thanks....I have always been a FIOCCHI fan in my recreational shooting. Care to share your source or just local gun shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 You might want to TRY a heavier bullet (124 or even a 147) - some people prefer them due to less muzzle flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outcrydrummer Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 minuteman munitions makes a 900fps 147 grain reman load. If you buy it 1k at a time its around 10 bucks a box. From what I've shot of it, its god quality and makes minor pf. Very soft recoiling ammo. Works in my performance model with apex barrel without issue.

DementedAntics Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Stand one armory 147gr chubbies work well for me. Gotta give them a thumbs up. Edited July 12, 2017 by DementedAntics Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Buy whatever you can afford the most of. That's probably a 115gr load. You'll get better shooting through a full pallet of 5,000 rounds, than puttig that money into designer 147gr ammo which you're reluctant to just go to the range and burn through.

Dieselvrr Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 There have been some good deals on ammo, 18c - 19c per round. Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicaptain Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Again, great information everyone thank you. Anyone have any experience with the 115g Fiocchi Perfect rounds?....1k for under $200 shipped is a pretty good deal....(luckygunner.com) I intend to shoot nearly everyday for the next month so I will definitely go through it all On another note: I am looking for M&P accessories (magwells, holsters, mag pouches and extensions etc)./..I don't want to start another thread and be "that guy" but am curious what you all have found to be a quick and reliable website for this stuff......

ramnj Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Your overthinking the ammo. Just get the cheapest you can find. In my experience with both my M&P 9mm, they will shoot everything including spitballs (not really but you get the point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djp55 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I was using LAXAmmo reloads and they were really good. Only using past tense as I'm starting to reload now. Real inexpensive and never had a single issue. I buy my mags from a place called Quantico tactical. I believe they ship and they're the least expensive I've seen, I think 3 for 72 or some such.

And you were VERY right....I shot 4 kinds of ammo and WWB 115g was actually the best of the bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trip to Wallyworld is my back up when I don't have time to load some stuff up ahead of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
