Finally got my EMP
sparky:
I finally got my Springfield EMP 9mm that I've been salivating over for months. I am planning on going and trying to break it in a little this weekend at the bullet hole. My Tucker Gunleather "Answer" will be here in about 4 weeks. My other handgun is a .40 so I haven't purchased much for 9mm rounds for a few years, does anyone know of where the best place around Omaha is to buy for the best deals on 9mm ammo?

I don't usually tout any particular business, and I don't have anything to gain, but I've found LuckyGunner.com to be a reputable, but cheap, source of ammo. They were able to provide some things I couldn't find anywhere else when the ammo shortage occurred awhile back, and they did it for prices that couldn't be matched locally (I'm in Lincoln). The delivery was unbelievably fast, and you know right up front whether the ammo you're looking for is in stock or not. There may be better places, but I was quite happy with them.

Thanks, I will have to check into that I have never ordered ammo before. Took out the EMP this weekend and put around 200 rounds through it and it worked flawlessly. Not a single FTF, FTE nothing. It really surprised me because I've heard the first few hundred rounds through these can be pretty bad.

The Answer IS: "Your basement!" 115gr Winchester FMJ bullet, WSP, 6.5 gr Power Pistol ..... some assembly required.
This gives me just under 1200 f/sec in my EMP ..... and costs about $.18 or $.19 ($10/box) without buying anything in bulk.....

Mine did FMJ just fine when new, but had issues with HP ammo ....... after 500 or so FMJ, HP fed just as well......

WalMart has 9mm Federal plinking ammo for either $9.47 or $10.47 a box (/50), depending of when you get it. I'm not really a fan of giving firearms money to Walmart, but that's the cheapest I've found.
