If you have the choice between Speer Lawman, Federal American Eagle, and Fiocci which would you choose? All are 230gr FMJ and priced the same at Ammoman.

For practice or carry?

Plinking only.

I have shot a lot of the Speer Lawman, in .40S&W and it has been great. Also reloads well.

I had a case of Federal American Eagle in 9mm and it is, by far, the nastiest 9mm I have shot to date. It groups well, functions well, but is dirty as all get out. My hands are absolutely black when I get through shooting a box or two of it. Other than that, it ain't bad.

I have shot some Fiochhi in the .40S&W. It performs well and would be a even money match with the Lawman.

In .45auto, Sellier & Bellot has performed well as has the Winchester USA bulk pack from Walmart. The Winchester sells for about $20 per hundred, not a bad price.

Although not a direct reply to the .45auto question, I hope this helps.

I have used all three brands and all seem compairable and good quality except the Fiochi has a very strong smell and seems to dirty up the front of the slide more.

Of your 3 choices, I'd go w/ the Lawman stuff as my first choice.

I'll try the Lawman. My last shipment was American Eagle. Nothing really wrong with them, just kind of dirty.
