    Good Cheap Ammo

    Hey I have been looking into a better type of ammo then that Winchester that they sell at Walmart. ( I know shame on me...). Now what is a reliable, cheap ammo that I can buy for my 1911.

    Reloading is always a good alternative.

    This works in my guns and is reasonably accurate:

    You may look for a reloader in your area. I get 250 of ball ammo of $75 out the door. $85 for HP.

    Reloading is my first choice. Otherwise just shop around. Stay away from Wolf, (Just personal Bias)

    I started reloading just to feed my 1911 and then moved on to other calibers. 45 ACP is the ideal cartridge to start on IMO. The savings are huge and there's a decent amount of room for error compared to say .223

    If you don't want to reload I sometimes buy factory reloads from an outfit called BVAC. I'm getting 1000 9mm for $169 where I live.

    The range round here had MagTech for 17.88 a box. That's about $20 more than reloads for the same amount of ammo.

    I'll cast another vote for BVAC. I have used it in 9MM & 45acp before purchasing a Dillon 650. It was my go to ammo for class's and never let me down. Accuracy was quite good as was overall consistency.

    about how much do you save per box by reloading the 45 ACP?
