I'm going to do someshooting this weekend & I've noticed
some good prices on this ammo. Is it good clean dependable
ammo or some more of that dirty stuff, like from Russia; I tried
some of that ammo & it looked like a West Texas sandstorm.
Comments welcome.
I've shot literally thousands of that brand of ammo through my Beretta 92's and M9's. I got it at a time when it was on a closeout price from a web based seller. I picked up 10 cases of 1000rnds each 9mm 124gr ball at 6 dollars a box. I'm down to 7 cases, and the ammo is just GREAT.
Good stuff! I prefer it over WWB for range ammo but it's usually hard to
find around me and when you do more expensive as far a range ammo
goes. If you found it at a good price, great, go for it
Federal American Eagle 230 Gr FMJ is my favorite. www.ammunitiontogo sells them for $0.40 a round.
Almost the same price at Mills Fleet Farm when they are in stock.
Just ordered 1,000 rounds from ATG a week ago, loose packed in 250rd boxes. I love this stuff. This and WWB is all I shoot for plinkin'. I'll run steel cased Silver Bear through my AR's, not my handguns.
I have shot tons of Federal American Eagle Generic white boxes as well as UMC & Winchester USA Generic types. I normaly get one of the 3 and pick by price. Sometimes Acadamy Sprts has 100 value packs for 3-4 less than two 50's
All were good and clean and had nice cases for reloading.
You can save the brass and ofest some of the cost selling it as one fired if you do not load them.
I shoot mostly American Eagle ammo because it's one of the cheapest. I bought 3 boxes of 9mm 147gr and only got 1 stove pipe in my Beretta M9. It's fairly reliable and very good quality.
The make it 40 miles from me, and I still have a hard time finding it. Fleet Farm used to have the best price, but it's been over a year since I've seen any on the shelf there.
I just received a modest shipment from AmmunitionToGO.
Bulk 250, arrived fast and in good condition.
I find it ironic that Federal is manufactured here but I have to buy it over the internet from out of state.
I only buy one box at a time when Fleet Farm has any in stock.
Self imposed limit to insure that there are a few boxes left for others.
Agreed, I find that the American Eagle loads are superior to the WWB stuff... accuracy seems the same for me, but I find that the AE is a much cleaner shooting round than the traditional WWB range loads.
Federal AE is actually my favorite ammo brand when it comes to FMJ, whether it's .45ACP or 9mm. The only problem is that they tend to be much more expensive than say WWB or UMC. At least around my area any way.
Another vote for American eagle. I have been using their .45 ACP for a long time but just bought a brick of .22 LR A/E a short time ago that I haven't tried out yet
I picked up a case today for $422 shipped to CA. This is the cheapest price as of today. I'm going to stock up before those CA bonehead lawmakers turn the state into a Communist regime.
Federal American Eagle is one of the better FMJ's out there. Never had any problems with it ......
