Which Factory new ammo do you prefer? Why? Bad experiences with a certain ammo?
>Just bought 100 of pic related for under 28 bucks after taxes.
> Like Federal, and Remington more, but more expensive.
> Dislike Tula... No bad experience, just the name I guess. And reloads... I don't use reloads.
>>29415846
Cheapest shit I can find. Not gonna overpay to punch paper.
>>29415846
I order whatever isn't Tula and is the cheapest on the tracker.
>>29415846
PPU and GECO is some of the best ammo for the price. I haven't found anything cleaner and more consistent in the 20-25cpr range.
>>29415846
Did you actually just stand up 100 rounds in a neat rank and file to post a picture on a chinese cartoon forum?
I would buy the federal 100 round packs at Wal-Mart before I started reloading... I still have quite a bit of it but never shoot it...
Whatever is on sale for the range.
For HD I only use Speer Gold Dots.
>>29415881
>not getting glamour shots of your ammo stock
what the hell do you masturbate to?
>>29415881
actually all i did was take the tray out upside-down, then lifted the tray.
>>29415874
Interesting, I had a .40 that refused to feed PPU RNFP fmj's
It would eat literally anything else I put in it but but I could never get more then 3 rounds of PPU without an ftf.
>>29415911
this!
kek
>>29415924
Interesting. I had a Glock 23 that would eat everything you fed it.
>>29415936
OP here.
Actually thinking of buying a Glock 22 or 23.
why did you get rid of yours?
>>29415936
I've never cared for flappy trigger guns.
The geco brass I've picked up has been really clean and even the primer pocket have been pretty clean so I assume it is pretty good...
>>29415946
a. You have never shot a Glock
b. You suffer from Parkinsons
c. The Glock you shot had a shitty custom trigger job, and probably a home-made shitty stipple job as well
which is it?
>>29415945
9mm has less recoil, more capacity, cheaper ammo. If you really want 40 cal ballistics, 9mm +p is nearly identical in performance.
>>29415946
They dont feel flappy to me, probably the most "shootable" for me second to a 1911 or anything SA
>>29415980
Oh boy, a buthurt glock fanboy upset that my opinion doesn't match his.
It's just an opinion and personal preference. But by all means, continue attacking.
I've shot 5 glocks.
No parkinsons.
3 were completely stock, 2 had mods.
>>29416012
true... but I can't say "check out muh glawk faw-dee" when all I have is a 9
No, but seriously, touche
>>29416079
kek. but all the rappers talk about 9mm anon
>>29416052
I'm a Glock owner, not a fanboi by any means.
>what would /k/ be without drama?
Fair enough.
>>29416096
I stopped paying attention to rap, so I wouldn't know. Nothing against it, I just have kids.
Damn... well, I guess I better start reconsidering getting a 45 over a 40.
Carry ammo is pic. Usually just use wolf 9mm for plinking.
>>29416110
MMMmmm, Drama!
Ok. I dont hang out in here much.
>>29416146
I first started carrying 45, then 357 mag for a while, then 40, now im at 9mm. Can't imagine I'll go any smaller.
Personally, I can draw and get 3 or 4 shots on target in a few seconds with 9mm. Could I do that with larger calibers? More or less, it took a bit longer. If I can get 3 or so shots center mass that fast, 9mm is big enough.
That's just my rationale for 9mm.
>>29416162
Even those are 115gr, aren't they going to act pretty much like ball rounds?
>>29416480
They've got some good geletin results. As well as good history within the lawn enforcement community. And as a plus, sound like a cannon.
>>29415846
depleted uranium shells.

>28 bucks
>blazer handgun ammo
nigger what
win white box
federal PREEEMIIUUMMM
>>29415846
I've used CCI, Federal, Wolf, CBC, Magtech, Priv Partizan, Aguila, Armscor with no issues.
Used Fiochi until it gave me a bit of a scare:
>Be going pew-pew at the range with muh AR
>pew-pew-pFSHHHHHHHHHHH
>smoke everywhere
>back the fuck up and stare at my gun like a dumbass
>smoke clears.
>no visible damage
>eject round. Still has projectile in it so no squib. Case is cracked around the primer.
aaaaaaaaand I don't think I'm buying that stuff again anytime soon.
>>29416553
.27 a round. not a bad deal for Southern California. Sure, I could buy it online for much cheaper, but after Taxes and Shipping fees it would be about .30 a round.
>>29415846
>> Dislike Tula... No bad experience, just the name I guess. And reloads... I don't use reloads.
Wow, so scientific.
>>29416162
Gecko45 here
>>29417556
Yup, It's like cleats, love Nike cleats, not so much Umbreo cleats.... can't explain.
SGammo has a great deal on S&B 124gr 9mm. Got a case, seems to be pretty accurate.
I reload so I mostly shoot my own stuff. If not then usually just whatever is cheap with decent brass that I can reload.
For defensive ammo I use either Gold Dots or HST though.
>>29415846
>Don't like Tula for the name
Because I need ammo costing more than $9/box to shoot into the dirt.
>>29416532
>Lawn enforcement.
>>29420163
Link?
I don't really know a lot about bullet type, really.
For plinking I just buy brassed case stuff, from reputable brands; Winchester white box, PMC, mostly because the quality is decent, with a fair price. They usually cycle fine, and you don't get ridiculously light bullet weights that can't be used as backup defensive ammo.
For good stuff, I just go with the usual shit people recommend, federal, Speer, hornady, golden sabers.
I guess if I had to pick a favorite it would be the Golden Sabers, simply on aesthetics. Plus supposedly the bullet profile is pretty close to ball and supposedly is supposed to feed across multiple platforms better. But idk
>>29420827
>>29415911
>GLAMOUR
Tula.
If my gun cant run it it's a shit gun.
The paper and berm does not care how expensive my ammo is.
For HD I use HST standard pressure and MK318 and 75 gr Hornady TAP.
>>29420858
>nothing in 7.62
I can't masturbate to this.
>Muh tula, muh wolf
Range officer here, I've seen numerous firearms of more than reputable quality (Glock, Sig, HK .etc) fuck up from steel and especially lacquer coated ammunition.
Your nigger ammo is fucking up your gun, damaging equipment and acting as a fire hazard when your stupid ass can't shoot and hit something that sparks.
>>29420569
Damn, it's already sold out. Glad I got a case when I did. I ordered last Wednesday.
>>29421019
>Range officer here
Uh oh! Watch out guys, RO on deck!
>>29421019
>muh lacquer
>soft steel fucks up guns
Fuddlore galore.
>>29421157
Meh, I didn't name the job title.
>>29421181
Yet I see your shitty ammo fail nearly every day and have to clear most of the jams myself.
>>29421181
Prove him wrong then.
Anything but wolf/bear/tul aluminum. the casings are garbage some have laquer that literally gunk up your action so that it wont cycle. spent $400 on 2 gunsmiths fixing my AR after shooting 100 wolf.
Other than that, the only consideration is inconsistent ammo leads to a little bit of inaccuracy, IE the tulAmmo maxxx. some rounds were hot, some felt like they barely pushed them out the barrel.
>>29421181
Not lore to me.
seriously messed up my AR after it's first 100 rounds with lacquer wolf ammo. the bullets, even brass would get stuck in the barrel. the ejector would rip off the rim and i'd be SOL. do what you want, but i'm never using that again. saving 2c a round cost me $400

I donteven havea reaction image for what a DPMS tier fucktard fuddloreshitstick of a gun owner you are. This wwill have to do.
>>29421298
So everyone's making it up huh?
>>29421306
No, anon.
Just you.
How is Team Magtech? That's what I've been feeding my pistol since I got it.
>>29421306
No, you're just a total fucking retard.
>MFW I have fired 1000 rounds of wolf out of my build in the last couple of months with one single issue that was cleared by mortaring the rifle.
How did wolf break your panther arms carbine?
>>29421298
Go for it hombre, shoot all the shitty ammo you want. when you have to replace your ejector, or re-bore out the chamber of your gun, i hope you can still masterbate to that teenie bopper pride of yours.
>>29421324
See >>29421321
>What did it do to your rifle?
>What brand is your rifle?
>>29421324
Or maybe it's cheaper to buy a new barrel with the money you saved on ammo?
>>29421360
bushmaster, 10 years ago when they were still on top.
and like i said, went through a quick three mags, and heated the barrel. the lacquer would melt off the round when it was in the chamber, and leave a film. the next round goes in too tight, the ejector can't pull it out, so you tear off the base of the casing. rinse/repeat you can't fire more than a couple rounds without the film adhearing to the next one you leave in the chamber.
>>29421391
Of all the things that never happened.
Look Elmer, your shrubmaster had a generous chamber and was over gassed. Don't blame the ammo.
>>29415881
>>29415911
>>29421423
The lengths of denial you'll go to, to protect your opinion...
Whatever brotatoe. shoot all the crap ammo you want. I'll stick to my reloads that are 5c per round cheaper.
I shoot Pvri Partisan PPU 10mm through my Glock 20. Aside from the occasional bad primer, it performs as advertised, and it's cheap. I want to get something like Buffalo Bore for innawoods carry, but that shit is $30 for a box.
>>29415846
>my own 45acp reloads
>my friends 9mm reloads
>22lr whatever brand
>>29421449
>He reloads .223 for cost
I cant, you can't, you just dont.
>I refuse to believe you are real.
Also, that laquer doesn't melt in the chamber, so youre just parroting buzzbullshit.
>>29421432
those 22's! it's like sitting on bricks of gold
>>29421468
Don't know why i'm humoring you, but here's my cost as of july
>>29421498
> $0.21 a round
You actually waste time reloading for that? You are such a tool.
Also, >>29421391 is a straight up falsification of the facts.
>>29421517
when you're not shooting shit, you're looking at $300 per 1000. Now, not that you've ever paid for ammo, as you probably live with your parents and take money from their purse when they're not looking, someday when you do, i hope you take your 10lb tacticool AR to the range with a case of laquer ammo and learn a lesson.
>>29421555
I buy wolf by the 500 round case and it runs fine. You flat out made that shit up.
>>29421476
It feels so good. I'm not one of those .22 hoarder dudes, but it's nice to be prepared.
Plus I got a .22 suppressor coming.
>>29415846
1200 brass
>>29421636
Finally got to shoot zombie rounds, unfortunatley I cant find them in 9mm. Fuckings cabella fudds.
>>29421555
What if im shooting an AK
>>29421620
Is there a reason 22 is hoarded? I just bought a 22 rifle and I see plenty of Armcore around.
Is there like a big difference in 22? Is there some I should stay away from?
>>29421686
He probably thinks commie snow magic makes the AK run molten laquer steel case just fine. Same magic that lets it shoot our militaries ammo and never jam.
He's obviously a fudd-tard who cares?
>>29421391
This is actually because the steel rounds dont expand as much as the brass does when shot. So gas gets shot back between the gap and the chamber causing a larger build up in it because the chamber was designed for brass expanding, not for steel staying the same size. It gets worse when you shoot steel then brass, since the steel will cause build up then when you shoot brass, the brass expands into the build up and causes it to get stuck around it.
The polymerization process they put on barnaul/tula steel rounds gets the steel much hotter than the round ever will when fired. It's not melting.
This is why combloc weapons dont have this problem because their chambers were designed for steel rounds not expanding as much.
>>29421695
when a gun buying panic happens, .22LR is the first to go. You can't find it anywhere.
Because of this, shitlords from /k/ buy tens of thousands of rounds of the stuff in (somewhat justified) paranoia.
>Is there like a big difference in 22? Is there some I should stay away from?
Not really. It's rimfire, you'll have failures with every brand. If you are planning on stocking up, just stick with a major brand, and make sure it isn't subsonic (unless you want that).
>>29422207
>gun buying panic
>obummer tryin' take muh .22
How can people be this retarded?
When WAS the last time any gun control legislation was put forward that affected ANYTHING .22?
