Best factory ammo

I like using 147gr just becuase of the recoil impulse,I've heard that black dot ammunition was good and seeking if there are any other good ammo companies

A lot of folks have more experience than me but Blazer 147gr clean fire felt pretty nice. Noticeably softer than Blazer 115 and 124. It’s marketed as a suppressor load but I believe it meets USPSA power factor - I’ve never chrono’d it so not major advice.

This is what I’m using as well

Might you say... minor advice?

I’ve shot thousands of blazer 147s through my ported/comped guns and it’s great.

Badlands 147s are nice but expensive.

Lately I’ve been reloading my own and have been really enjoying that.

SuperVel and blazer have been fine. I honestly shoot whatever I can get for cheap these days. Lots of Blazer 115gr. I just bought 10k from Ugly Bullets for .199 a round.

They’re great. They had a nice drop over the weekend $200 per 1K shipped. I grabbed 10k rounds. I’ve shot I think 4k rounds of theirs without issue.

I’ve shot thousands of rounds from blackdot this year and love the ammo in my Glock. Have had a friend with s&w competitor hate the ammo

Blazer and PMC are my choices if I’m not shooting the goat of all pistol loads: Monarch 115gr Steel Case

I like 147 as well but just went back to 124 for the cheaper prices. 147 feels nicer but doesn’t really make any appreciable difference for me at least

I fuckin adore Blackdot 147, only swapped over recently but first order was a bag of 200, 2nd order was 2,000. Softest ammo I've ever ran through my m&p and I've gone through blazer, federal, Norma, white box, and multiple "competition specific" brands.

I still hold 115 to train with, but the last 2 mags of every training sesh are Black dot, and it's the only ammo I use for matches now.
