aluminum 9mm for range, yes or no and why

[Bennettjh]

Shoot it if your gun likes it. My SR9 hates aluminum cases. Shot a magazine worth and then gave it away. Wouldn't extract correctly.

My 1911 shoots it fine.YMMV.

Walmart in Greenwood on County Line and Emerson. $9.78 per 50 round box if I remember correctly.

The one next to gander?

Yep, that's the one. I bought 6 boxes the last time I was in, due to the great price. They usually seem to have a decent stock as well, though the guy working the counter said one customer he knows will buy out the entire stock whenever he comes in.

I have seen good results with the Federal champion ammo - no duds, decent power, no misfeeds. However, like others have said, I have heard enough negative rumors about aluminum that if I can find brass ammo for a slightly higher amount, I will pay the difference for the known commodity.

Fine for target use.

I would buy brass since they are the same price then sell the cases to recoup some cost.

If you don't care shoot away.

I keep some steel and aluminum around when shooting at farm ground or in the snow when I don't want to chase my brass.

I have no problem buying the aluminum (and I have been buying it, as I recently consolidated calibers and sold off a good bit of .40 and am buying more 9mm, while prices are good), but you can buy good, low price brass 9mm at many places currently, including:


Ammunition Online at Factory Direct Prices | Freedom Munitions | Handgun Ammo & Rifle Ammo


There are several other places running Blazer Brass and other brands at that sub $10 range a box, but you just have to watch the shipping costs

Have you bought from that site? Looks like the only decent prices are if you buy a large quantity in remanufactured ammo.

Never go into a store and pay retail. Go in with someone and by bulk. I have seen Blazer Brass at shows for that price. Also Cabelas has done some good sales. Got to search it out and talk it up.

Aluminum used to be cheaper. No real reason to shoot it now. Handload and you could probably get it down to four dollars a box.

Yes, I have purchased and shot the 9mm new ammo. I have not purchased their remanufactured. They have free shipping currently and 5% off and 10% off deals currently, and regularly run 5% off deals throughout the year. Freedommunitions is good to go.

We have brass cased 9mm in stock. Been on sale since last week for $190/1000. That works out to $9.50/50...and you get to support a local business.

Plus we can load the brass back up at a discount when you bring us your brass.
