I like the brass cased but avoid the aluminim
its not scientific but I find the brass shoots as well as anyones FMJ 9mm for practice purposes, I find the alum. dirty burning crap that I have seen double rimmed 38's which thank goodness was long enough to lock up my gun before going off. first and only time i have seen a case malformed at the base to that degree, i also had a round that had a bad crimp on the bullet and was dangerous!
cheap ranges like to sell it to you at the price of decent ammo 12 to 16bucks and you know they get it cheap as
. I have seen a fair number of extraction issues with aluminim cases , so much so if i see a problem it's my first thouht , and often right. In my area you can buy 50 rounds of brass at wally world for 6.27 or if you have shoot at the one range it's like 12 bucks for the aluminum junk. my son's range charges 2 bucks a box for lead removal fee , per box. its a nice place with good people and i mean no insult but often I will go to wally world and pay the 2 bucks , 8.27 is pretty decent still I like it and its cheap I need to save money
. OH one word for 38's, it may have been a bad batch and i mean batch of like 500 or more? I have seen magtechs range ammo be a absolute pain in the butt. burrs at the crimp , I of course don't put in the really tight fit 38's, but those who did were pounding them out with sticks and crap, i had some that were tight after firing, but not horrible. but that stuff was junk and they never got it again as it was giving customers a bad experience, I have some nice magtech self defense ammo that is the eqaul of mos stuff in its price range i think. but the bottom of the line was truly bad. blaser brass I use as carry ammo in one 9 i have that wont accept hollows, I trust it to go off and feed and have hundreds if not 1k or more rounds fired to assure me it will. GL finding it can be hit or miss at wally world
