If price were equal ($6 a box) would you buy Winchester White Box or Sellier & Bellot for 9mm FMJ (128 grain)?

Aside from "Buy American," I am wanting opinions as to the quality of the ammo load. I am interested in people's perception/experience with the cleanliness of the load, accuracy, consistency, primers, etc.

Personally, I've had good experiences with S&B and some negative with Winchester White Box...but it was with 45acp. But, I'd like to hear others opinions and experiences.

You specifically mentioned cleanliness. The Winchester white box ammo tends to be very dirty in my guns. However, my guns seem to like the Winchester over the S&B for accuracy. I tend to shoot the Winchester almost exclusively.

Fiocchi is much cleaner, hotter, reloadable and pretty accurate. A case of a 1,000 is a $118 ($5.90 a box of 50).

if you want to reload it winchester. for plinking either would be fine. I'm not a big fan of s&B as their brass seems to be total crap.

I would get Fiocchi or Olympic. The Greek 124gr. stuff has never failed me.

Winchester white box is pretty dirty.

Just found some Mag Tech and Federal's American Eagle for about the same price.

Any experience with these two loads?
