I'm looking to get some non-jacketed reloadable 9mm ammo for the indoor range at my club. Anyone know the best places and cost?
Thanks

Your best bet would be to see if M+M reloads sells some 9mm jacketed lead.
Most of the commercially reloaded lead pistol ammo sucks, though... you're better off in the long run doing it yourself.

They had some at the Saugus store in the back (which makes me believe they probably had some in danvers but the kid just didn't know) so I picked up a box.
Took the Glock to the range tonight and out of my ten round mags, they'd jam up at least twice each mag load...wow...but I got to shoot so I was still happier than with no ammo
Brings me to the next question, which I'll have to post in a separate topic...I have "everything" to reload, but not in 9mm. It's been years since my father reloaded and we're behind in the technology, etc. So what would be the best dye's to pick up? Rolled vs taper, etc...and would it be better to buy casted rather then cast my own with prices out there??? Any good info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Johnny
this.
The Dick's stuff works, but man it's dirty.

Or, I should have said, just 9mm RNL.... M+M has QC problems once in awhile, but their stuff is far less problematic than the Ultramax. Every ultramax bulk pack lead box will have several rounds in it that don't come close to passing a case gauge. If someone does use it, they should get a case gauge and check it out, and set all the "bad" ones aside. One guy that was using it awhile ago at the pin shoots (ultramax 45 230 rNL) was getting a bad jam with it every third magazine or so.

A lot of people (and Glock themselves) DO NOT recommend shooting lead out of a Glock barrel...
Others say it's OK with proper and frequent cleaning, so BEWARE!!
resurrecting the thread...
Has anyone seen this elusive ammo in Ma?
Need some for the indoor range myself. I know someone grabbed like 2000 rounds in the classifieds about month ago...missed it by seconds.
Johnny, if your dad is rusty with reloading skills, and has no experience with pistol rounds, then you are better off starting from scratch with regard to knowledge. I have send you a PM with info regarding my reloading classes.
Kittery offers some reloading classes as well, I'm not sure how deep you get into it, its free and looks to be worth while.
