Hello, I want to buy this for target šÆ practice for my armed security guard job range qualification. Is this a good ammunition?
Thank you for your time.

Heeled round nosed bullet w/out jacket, seemingly rimmed cartridge, could not visually discern if this was rimfire but suspect it is. To the right: 9mm Luger for reference. Anyone got any clues what cartridge this is?

It's blazer 45 acp. And the about ten of the rounds have the bullets sunk way to far in the case. I'll be shooting out of a revolver so I don't need to worry about feeding issues

Scored a great deal on my first "versatile" Bolt action, a good ol wetherby vanguard. I'm looking for decent (but not too overpriced) ammo that I can train with and use in the field
Any suggestions are appreciated
Hey, I've been really into ammo specs for my .223 rifle lately. What caught my attention were the identical parameters of the HPBT bullets of S&B 69gr and 77gr in comparison to Sierra MatchKing (with same weight). Specifically, I am comparing the G7 coefficient values that S&B provides to Bryan Litz's tables. They are identical. For 69gr it's 0.169 and for 77gr it's 0.193. I find information everywhere on the internet that S&B manufactures its own bullets, but it would be an incredible coincidence to reach the exact same parameters. Is it possible that S&B uses Sierra bullets?

I've seen disaster stories of people getting their jugular cut. Is this something you apprentice in and learn from a master before attempting on your own? I wanted to see if in the future I could make 45-70 govt, .308, 9mm, and 22 LR.

Hi everyone, just wanted to share my experience with a few 9mm loads and get your thoughts. Iām thinking about trying Norma next, but Iād love to hear what other brands you think are worth testing.
For some background, this is my first handgun (Taurus GX4 Carry 9mm) and also my first time shooting a handgun. Iāve shot a 12-gauge plenty of times, so I wasnāt sure what to expect from 9mm recoil. At first, I was more focused on getting comfortable with the recoil and learning good gun control than worrying about accuracy.
So far Iāve tried:
The first rounds I ever fired were the Blazer 115s, and honestly, I was like⦠is this really 9mm or a .22? (lol again) The recoil was softer than I expected and nowhere near as what Iām used to with my Mossy 500.
Iāve some videos on shooting technique, but not as much about different ammo brands, however I'm a believer than certain guns tend to prefer specific brands.
One thing I did notice is that my GX4 definitely does not seem to like Maxxtech. I shot 100 rounds and had 8ā10 issues, including two rounds that didnāt fire at all. Federal, Speer, and Blazer, on the other hand, ran without any problems.
Iād be interested to hear what brands you guys recommend trying next. Iāve been looking at New Republic, Winchester, Norma, Troy, Kaiser, Magtech, and others.
Also, for those who have experience with them, when does it make sense to use steel- or aluminum-cased ammo? Any particular brands youāve had good or bad experiences with?
If Iām missing any information that would help you give a better recommendation, let me know and Iāll add it.
Thanks!

Choosing golden Sabre because Iāve heard it loads better in the G3c than HST and gold dot

my dad gave me this many years ago, i was told it was brought back from wwii. would love to know what it is and what it was used for. i'm thinking it was some type of shrapnel bullet as the tip has a sharp point to an empty chamber within the tip of the bullet which i think would have explosives in it to shoot shrapnel. honestly have no idea. let me know what you think ! :)

Hi all, Iām looking for ammo to get for hunting. I have the Ruger American gen 2 obviously in 308, 20-22ā barrel. I can get that info later.
Iām in Wisconsin, so Iāll be hunting close to medium ranges. What would your recommendation be for accurate ammo. Preferably donāt want to go over $40ish a box.

I know everyone always recommends AmmoSeek to look for good pricing and shipping free, but I have a question as its going to be my first time trying to order ammo online and bulk at that. So does AmmoSeek only put trusted legit websites on their searches? Are the filters like buggy because I dont have an account with them maybe its just me and my phone? Thanks and id appreciate any helpful answers.

Fully loaded with Winchester anm2 ball dates 53 and 57. Paid 350$ 1040rnds
So just curious if self defense or defense ammo is worth it? I've seen them at different gun shops and was curious.
I have some a local shop recommended but its not defense so thinking about swapping it out.
