Favorit/Best 9mm ammo?
 

Not sure if this is the right section but what are you guys' best/favorite ammunition to use in a 9mm luger? any specific grain I should go pick up? I'm new to 9mm so I don't know what's good to shoot and what's trash to shoot. Thanks!

The Winchester White Box sold at Walmart is generally considered the best/least expensive combination of reliable ammo for the Luger.

+1 wwb

In Europe: Sellier & Bellot 124gr FMJ.
In the US: Winchester Whitebox 115gr FMJ.

For the fainthearted: S&B 145gr Subsonic works as well :)

Nono: Anything +P / +P+, anything with a Remington name on it, WW2 surplus ammunition.

I use Winchester WB and S&B but prefer the S&B. I read somewhere that Winchester at one time had contracted with S&B to produce their ammo. Also saw the other day that Herters brass ammo was made by S&B.

Geco 9mm also works well, but I found that it tends to leave more unburnt residue behind. After a Geco shooting session the gun looks like it went to Iraq and back, but after a S&B or Winchester session, it is as clean as it was before.

Great! Thanks! Is there a winchester white box 124gr or just 115? I've read in places that you should shoot 124gr stuff. true/false?

Both 115 and 124 are fine. I believe the greatest single factor in Luger ammo reliability is the overall length of the cartridge, not bullet weight or power.

Not to hijack, but does anyone have experience with American eagle 115gr? I ask because I have a ton of it.

My favorite is actually my hand loaded ammo, followed by WWB 115gn.

Hijack away, sir!

Hi:

The 124 gr. brass cased S&B I've fired here, in the US, is certainly on the hotter side.

It does, however, function the pistol properly.

The American Eagle 9mm works fine in my Luger as well as my other 9mm pistols.

I have used both the winchester white box and american eagle 115 without problems. Both shoot well in all my lugers.
