what is a good, clean, and cheap ammo brand for...

recreational target shooting?

 

what type of fire arms are you shooting?

 

i have a glock 23 (.40s&w) and an AR 15 (5.56)

 

for 5.56 Ive shot hornady steel ammo and it ran fine!

for .40 I buy my ammo at wal mart. 100 rounds for 27 bucks.

 

i shoot federal, it's generally pretty cheap. 30 bucks for 100 40 s&w rounds

 

If you have a good gunstore around or a gunshow, buy factory remanufactured rounds.
You might not get 5.56, have to settle for .223, but that's not really a penalty for plinking.
40sw is everywhere....you should be able to get it down to .20/round.

 

5.56/.223:

Ammoman.com
Ammunitiontogo.com
Aimsurplus.com
Palmettostatearmory.com

Load, make ready, fire. Repeat.

 

Great stores!

For cheap 5.56, just get some silver bear or the like, no need to buy super expensive stuff just to plink (unless you will keep the brass).

 

You might want to aim before firing. It helps a great deal if you want to actually hit something.

 

I shoot American Eagle through my XDM 40 and have no problems with it $19.95 for a box of 50.

 

you might try classicarms.us they usually run pretty good specials on .225/5.56.

 

I shoot the winchester whitebox stuff from walmart in all my hand guns. Works great and never had a problem.

 

My son and I have been shooting remanufactured.40 S&W rounds made by Stone Manufacturing in Florida. While I had to buy 1,000 rounds to get the price I wanted it ended up costing 20 cents per round delivered. No problems and the powder they use is not as dirty as some others.

 

this.

27 bucks for 100 rounds or 16 bucks for 50 rounds.

they also have federal that is just over $14 for a box of 50

 

Get some generic 55gr FMJ, surplus WC844, once fired brass, and some Wolf SRM primers and you should be able to sustain your shooting habits on the cheap.

 

X2 But clean after each use!!!

 

X2, I do this regardless what brand I shoot.

 

im at around 800 rounds through my xd without cleaning and it shoots flawlessly. I'll clean it at 2k

 

Federal always works reliably and is dirt cheap!

 

Atlanta arms is very good and cheap. $17 for .45 it's all I use for range FMJ
