Winchester 9mm, 124 gr, FMJ, Q4318 with NATO on the box from Walmart is good stuff. About $15/box.
Might find it a little cheaper if you purchase 1000 at a time online. New brass 9mm 115 gr is available from many sources at around $220/1000. |

I really like Sellier & Bellot 115gr FMJ for bulk practice ammo. You can find it pretty inexpensive (last 1K I bought was $218), and it has a good pop. To me, the felt recoil was close to Federal HST 124gr in my S&W Shield 9mm. So I run that ammo in my 9mm SBR. Fired hundreds of those and they have all been flawless.

You can get new for right around that price.
I've shot several hundred rounds, here recently, of PPU, S&B and Fiocchi 115 grain fmj ammo. Paid $11-$12 a box for it. |

Check your local walmarche (walmart). They had some Federal alum, Perfecta, and ZQ1 selling for less than $10 a box of 50. ($9.97IIRC)

The 115 grain Winchester white box Wallyworld specials ran through mine just fine when I was troubleshooting it. That would be a good source of brass for you too.

Interesting thread as I just built a 9MM AR not long ago myself, in for the knowledge.

My CMMG has run great with WWB, Fed value pack, Win NATO, and my medium reloads. Pretty much any brass cased store bought ammo so far.
It didn't like my light reloads, but then again the pistols BARELY eat them. So I don't fault the rifle. I have not tried steel case Ruskie ammo or aluminum case, but I have some of both to try. |

I don't have a 9mm AR but my semi-auto UZI only runs reliably with hot ammo like the Winchester 124gr. NATO or Wolf steel case if I want to go cheap. Just saying because you want to know what you gun likes before you buy anything in "bulk" quantities.

Just picked up 1K of Perfecta 115gr (brass, boxer primed made by Fiocchi) at Wallyworld for $154.34 out the door!
Nearly brought a tear to my eye. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: that's a local price specific to your AO right? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Just picked up 1K of Perfecta 115gr (brass, boxer primed made by Fiocchi) at Wallyworld for $154.34 out the door! Nearly brought a tear to my eye. Picked up 2K more [email protected]/box(50rds), 1K of .308 @ 6.94/box(20rds), and 2K of [email protected]/box(50rds).I haven't seen the .223 yet. That 'bout taps out my mad money for this check. Hope they still have more next payday. Time to stock up. |

Since a 9mm ar is blowback, some are wary to use aluminum cased ammo. There's a kb thread in the general forum that shows one of those new cz skorpion polymer pistols that is destroyed using aluminum casings. I'd watch my fired casings for pressure signs, swelling at the base, etc

Lots of ejection problems, resulting in some messed up ammo when the next round tries to feed into the chamber. As much as I love aluminum cased ammo in my handguns, I won't use it in my AR anymore. I should mention my upper is a CMMG with a 10.5" barrel. I don't know if the barrel length has anything to do with it. |
