21 shooter Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 When using factory I’ve found Federal 147 to be very accurate and recoil is not bad at all. Having said that I reload most everything I shoot. It’s become a hobby of its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillySoldier Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I recently did some ransom rest testing of different brands of 9mm factory ammo. No surprise that your expensive match grade brands like Atlanta Arms and Nosler did great. What did surprise me was just how bad some of your more generic brands like Blazer Brass and American Eagle did @ 25 yards w like 5+"; 10rnd shot groups. Of course theyre the two brands Ive been shooting most for the last 2 yrs I did find one brand that shot as well as the match grade at a more normal price and that was the Browning Performance Target 147g w was shooting a bit under 2" groups. Browning also had a 115g w 3" groups at an even cheaper price. Note: I picked up the Browning for the test but have not actually fired it outside of the ransom rest yet to say anything else about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My P09 really "likes" the cheap Federal 115 grain FMJ ammo I get from Walmart for about $18 per 100 rounds. Seven shot, seven yards, rested while sighting in the (then) new RMR. The group in the lower right corner was aimed at the target company logo. The group high/left of the target was the previous 3 shots before another sight adjustment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1974 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 CCI Blazer 115 or 124's aluminum cases you don't have to worry about lost brass and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis103 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I shot Freedom Munitions 135gr HP 9mm for a few years until they recently filed for bankruptcy and seemingly stopped manufacturing their own cartridges. I would buy in bulk when there was a combined 10% off plus free shipping deal. I would pay about 18-19 cents per bullet. With good timing on their bad luck I just got my Dillon 650 set up and will be reloading from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the .40 side, I see they have inventory of their in-house stuff now so I think they are still making but probably not in large quantities. Like you, I used to wait for the holiday sales and combine 10% with free shipping and brass trade-in credits. Their fourth of July sale is basically flat-rate shipping at $5 which isn't much of a bargain since I'm only one state over and a case is about $11 to ship.

willis103 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I took advantage of the brass buyback as well. Half the money was spent getting the brass there but it was better than the nothing it was doing sitting in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
