Most ammo I know of is good .. I think well of CCI Blazer so on and on there are countless brands..

One Ive heard to stay away from is Tula.. Dosent always work.

For mil surplus for rifles I use like the M1A stay away from anything from Pakistan made ammo. On the forum 'M-14 Firing Line' they have a ammo section always updated with the most recent prices and ones to stay away from

One point about ammo although most work the differences can be corrosive and non corrosive use of primers..

Some ammos like surplus Russian, China will use corrosive primers which will work fine but after you use them at the range you really need to clean your rifle or pistol right away.
Now some rifle bores can be chromed lined so there not as readily rusted but I would still clean after corrosive ammo use.

I got for my birthday last month a Hornady Lock N Load progressive press and have used to re-load about 250 9mm luger rounds ... Checked them at the range yesterday with much sucess, but I'm going to up the powder. They were ejecting toward me as well so they need a bit more powder...
