Question

Ok well if i choose not to reload what ammo should i shoot to save money and the same time keep my gun clean?

Answer 1

the cheapest ammo is .22 long rifle. about $15-20 (or more) for 500 rounds. thats much better then any centerfre handgun or rifle cartridge. get higher quality 22 ammo and it will burn cleaner, but all guns should still be cleaned

Answer 2

Good quality American made ammunition.

Answer 3

Keeping the gun clean is usually a function of the Powder used.

I shoot "rogers better bullets" super hard lead cast bullets in my 1911 .45 and have had ZERO issues with lead fouling, etc.

Different powders burn at different rates, some are "dirtier" than others. Mostly are a matter of opinion.

Answer 4

what you are asking for is the perfectly, ideal ammo. cheap and clean, which unfortunately is never the case. all i can say is to browse online, here are some sites that ive used and are good. as for cleanliness, the cheaper the round the dirtier it will be. for best prices look for bulk ammo, which vary from like 250, 300, 500, 600, 1000, or 1200 rounds depending on what round your looking for and brand. the larger bulk orders are always a cheaper cost per round. compare what you come across by dividing the price by the # of rounds, to get a good idea of costs per round. another thing that helps is to read the review of the people who purchase the ammo to see how it behaved and what people think.

last, if your looking for ammo to go to the range, get the cheap stuff, just give the gun a good clean after your done, and you will not have a problem. do give the residue time to settle and damage the gun.
