In the latest edition of the Official Journal of the United States Practical Shooting Association, they have an equipment survey. I looked at the survey for ammunition choice of Factory Loaded ammunition. Out of the 7 division survey results, Federal Factory ammo was the number one pick for six of those divisions. The only division that picked another supplier was open division and that group of shooters choose Atlantic Arms for their factory ammo as their number one choice.
So I'm thinking that there is probably a good reason for this. So what does Federal offer that is better than all of their competitors? Are the primers more consistent, or is a price per round decision?
I'm also interested in which specific loading is the choice for practice / competition use for 9mm Luger in Production and Carry optics?
