My department uses Federal ammo most of the time, for .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 357 Sig, 9mm and .223/5.56. We shoot a lot of Federal red box American Eagle for training and practice. I shot about 1,000 round the last month or so, probably 200 the Tactical Bonded Plus-P load and 800 of standard velocity 230 grain ball.

I have seen very few stoppages on our ranges using Federal red box American Eagle. If the prices of the available choices are within 2 bucks/50 rounds, I would buy Federal first and Winchester second. I haven't shot any Fiocchi, S&B or Priv Part .45 in years so can't grade that.

My shooting buddy found a great price on aluminum case Blazer 230 grain FMJ and bought a bunch of it. Last time we went out he shot a box through his old Sig P-220 and another through his Springfield Armory Loaded model. Another box split between one of my S&W 1911's and an early 945. Ran great.
