I know their are so many companies for many different needs, but if you had to pick a universal favorite for each kind of firearm which would you pick as a whole?
I know most enjoy many different companies but I think we all have a special one that stands out from the bunch. .
Here are some of my experiences with ammo companies. Let me know if any of you agree and what you feel about your favorites in the business.
Hornady is kinda like the rolls royce of ammo, it's the gold standard. I have heard that even so much as a scuff and the ammo will be pulled from production lines. It's silly expensive but it's also the best. It's essentially a ferrari. You won't wanna use it everyday unless you're rich but it is also just a really amazing round that you can almost always count on.
Federal is my all around favorite company in ammunition. I have never had an ill experience (knock on wood) with federals and I love them for being a reliable, efficient round for a cheap affordable price. Best bang for the buck imo. I love them for shotgun shells especially but also .22 lr and other rounds.
I put 50 of PPU through my .38 and never will again, it runs dirty, it runs awful, had 2 misfires out of 50 with a reliable round like .38. and it's just inferior peruvian stuff. Not a fan. Some people swear by the stuff. which is why guns are so facsinating. Everyone has their preferences. but I personally will avoid this company.
Good old fashioned winchester white box, My favorite for my .38 rounds. I enjoy the quality and price. But I have heard people who don't like it and people who love it. Where do you stand on it? I've had good experiences with it thus far.
I consider Aguila on par with federal, top of the line quality for a fair entry level price. I definitely like a good old box of 50 .38 Aguilas.
Haven't given it enough of a go to have a full unbiased opinion, and I also only shot CCI .22 LR so far, and that's a notoriously unreliable type of ammo. But it shoot clean and accurately all and all with 10 misfires out of about 210 rounds. I'd say it's a quality company.
Those are mostly the rounds I have experience with. Which ammo makers do you like the most. Which would you trust your life with? And which do you use for affordable target practice?
Thanks for any imput or experiences.
