What ammo do you use now?

Haven't checked in for quite some time. Long enough ago that 9x18 was still pretty cheap. Now it's more expensive than 9x19 and much scarcer.
Which brings up a question. What's the best stuff to buy nowadays?

One of the reasons I bought my first 9x18 (a Russian Mak) was because I could easily trim and resize parabellum cases but didn't do it much because there was so much cheap, good foreign stuff in the country.

Haven't bought much Starline brass in a while so haven't priced it lately, either.

I will say that the Lee bullet mold for Maks is hands-down the easiest thing I have ever cast so I can always start doing that again for my plinker stuff.

So is anybody back to reloading 9x18 much?

Yup. Thanks To Norm who got me started reloading and taught me how to trim the abundant 9mmm luger brass. I still have tons of Silver bear and some Norinco factory stuff but am shooting my reloads almost exclusively .

I don't reload, but I have found good deals thru Sportsman's Guide for FMJ and JHP 9x18 ammo. If you buy 1000 rounds and apply SG's discounts, I paid appx $10/box for 50 rounds of Silver Bear FMJ ammo.

That's not bad. I get SMG all the time but haven't bought any ammo from them in a while. I guess I would back off large quantities of ammo because of the shipping costs.
