9mm Training/Practice Ammo Recommendations Please

[saddlerocker]

I have used the Aguila 9mm from AIMSurplus.
I bought 500rds and shot 400 of them

Shot fine and zero malfunctions, but its a bit dirtier than WWB or PMC
I noticed more brass shavings (possibly from the primer) inside my M&P9

Its gtg in my opinion, but I will only buy it if its the cheapest around, not going out of my way to get it.

BTW, The case of the 9mm has a cannelure to help discourage bullet setback I guess.
I asked around and everyone said its fine to reload ( look closely at the picture on AIM's website to see it)

I had great luck with the RWS ammo from Weapons World at 189 a case + $10 shipping. I shot 1000 rounds of it in my M&P FS and Compact with zero issues.

$200 delivered and is loaded to European pressures.

I would have no problem using it, but that RWS has a bi-metal jacket like Russian ammo.
Just an FYI

I shoot Tula for my plinking. Never have had a mis-fire from their 9mm. (Have had a couple from .223Rem and 7.62x39mm, but that may have been my fault for storage conditions in part.)

Certainly beats the socks off of Winchester White Box.

Edit: But the RWS for about $200 per 1000 shipped- I'd go for that.

Right now I'm shooting Aguila 124 FMJ from my Glock 17's w/o issue.

Just finished 2,000 rds of S&B 115 grain FMJ with no issues as well.

Big +1 on RWS/GECO training fodder as well.

I use PMC 115gr from PSA. 5k so far in my G17 with no issues. Some folks don't like PMC but at $200 for 1000 on the range is just fine.

Does a magnet stick to it????

When I read the thread title, a different thought entered my mind. Not the "cheapest" but the "best for me".

I shoot 147 9mm from Atlanta Arms pretty much exclusively. Why? Low recoil. This is not about any perception of speed, but instead one of fatigue over long(er) range sessions. I have been in classes where we shot 1k rounds in a day, and at shorter range sessions that were the equivalent pace. My arm pays for that, and the lower the recoil the longer I can shoot better.

If it is the same stuff that Walmart sells- Yes.
