I’m interested in everyone’s choices. Most of the time, I’ll either roll my own or use commercial reloads (from a reputable company). Some prefer to stick to American-made ammo only.

Which are you?

Thanks in advance…:D

Generally, I use S&B for most of my plinking sessions.

Ammo such as 9mm & .223 Remington, I prefer Wallyworld white box for all my plinkin' needs. It's cheap and goes bang everytime you pull the trigger..
When it comes to .308 Win., i like the foreign surplus stuff, such as South African made PMP ammo..:)

Fiocchi by the thousand for the .40smith and wally.
Milspec Surplus by the thousand for the .223 AR15.South African or Swiss surplus.
Barnul 123grain Russian for the Yugo SKS.
These 3 suit my backyard plinking needs.

roll own for 38/357's , unless I get in a rut and have to buy ammo ( last time when I taught (ex-fiance) to shoot ) roll .45s but bought some lately because I am getting to lazy around here , I would like to reload some 22's ( kidding ) those I have to buy in bulk . ussually federals .

I shoot a lot of commercial reloads, because I can get it pretty cheap at Gunshows. I just picked up 500 rnds of 9mm for $45.99, it was reloaded by Miwall.

Make it myself. When you think of 50 rounds as a warm-up, 100 rounds as a short practice session (w/ handguns), it gets expensive fast. But the proof is in the skill.

From surplus with green stuff that needs to be wiped off to wolf to anything, if it looks ok and not damaged I will use it.

The reloading is slowly gaining and by summer or fall will have won.

Well except for the rimfire stuff. I plan to mostly reload everything else I shoot.

Hmmm, you have no both A and B or all of the above type answers so I have a problem. I use Fiocchi and S&B about half the time (foreign made ammo) and Winchester White Box (made in the USA) about half the time. How should I answer the poll?:scrutiny:

Well, ok, fine. I just checked both boxes, since that works.:p

Whatever is cheapest!

I haven't started rolling my own yet, but then it will be a combination of my own, and the least expensive new loads in .40 for my G22 and Kahr which I have read both have "issues" with reloads.

and whatever's on sale for my 9mm.
