I just got a 9mm recently and would like to take it to the range at least one a week or so. I got the 9mm since I can't shoot as much of the cheap .22 as I used to. I am trying to stay in a budget of $0.18 to $0.22 per 115gr round. So far I have used Magtech which I buy from Midway for around $0.23 per round shipped. I was looking in to some of the sites that sell reloaded 9mm and was wondering if anyone has good luck with any of these? A place called Freedom Munitions has 500 rounds for about $100. Does anyone if this is a good source for 9mm ammo or if there are better sites to buy it from?

Save your brass. Load your own. You won't save any money in the long run, but you will be able to shoot more with a lesser cost per shot.

Freedom munitions has inexpensive ammo and it works as good as any other. Buy it and shoot away!

I'm new to reloading and I would never buy somebody else's reloads. Especially some company I never heard from
By the way, the price isn't all that great. Less than half that I could load my own. I split some 38 cases a few months back. They were from the one box of truvelocity reloads I bought. God knows how many times they had been reloaded.

Shooting reloads is always a risk, especially if bought at gun shows from individuals instead of companies. But heck, even factory loads are not 100% reliable/safe. Stuff can happen, either way.

I travel extensively within state for work in a company vehicle. I know where pretty much every Wally World is located and I haunt them all. 
I have yet to find an online deal where shipping doesn't make the item more expensive than what I walk out of WW with in hand, no waiting.
You can easily stay within your posted budget with a great deal of what goes on the shelf there. And for the most part things have been pretty well stocked of late too.

I agree with schgsd. I look for Tula and perfecta and, just scored some Tula at $22.00 or so for 100. I use that for plinking and don't have any trouble out of it. We shoot many 9mm guns and don't have any trouble out of any of them.
This is source of ammo pricing.

sgammo often has great deals on 9mm ammo and their shipping fees
are very reasonable.

Anyone have any experience with Wolf ammo? I've heard some bad things about Tulammo and have stayed away from it.
Bad, as in FTFs and FTEs, ruptured primers.

I've run Wolf and Tula and Perfecta through my shield without a problem. I've also run them through every 9mm gun that has come out to shoot without problems. Notable attendees include Glock, Kahr, Taurus (one FTF out of a whole bunch), Kel-Tek, and S&W. The only problem I've ever had was with a Taurus 92 and that was Perfecta ammo, out of about 50, we had 1 ftf. Everything else, we've run boxes through of those three and never had a problem. They are my go to practice ammo and I only spend more when I need it and they don't have the cheap stuff.
"Reloads" is a guy like me, making his own ammo in his basement.
"Remanufactured" is a Company like Freedom Munitions, who has a license, insurance, and a reputation. The only part reused is the brass, and while some object to this practice, many of us remember when Coke and Pepsi used to do the same thing.
Freedom Munitions is a good bet. Proceed with confidence.

If your range will allow aluminum casings you can get 115gr. Federal FMJ at Walmart for around $10 a box ($.20 per shot) but check with your range first and ask if they allow it.

I shoot brass case, and brass case only. Sure I'll shop on price pretty hard but I compromise only so far.
