The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - How do I know if I'm shooting quality, SAAMI approved ammo?

I've read on other posts that people solved FTF and FTE problems by only running quality ammo through their gun.

When I sent my gun back to the manufacturer for FTF and FTE problems. One of the questions asked by the Customer Service desk was, "Do I have these problems with SAAMI certified ammo?"

So, two questions:

When I'm standing in front of a shelf of commercial bullets, how do I know which are quality and which are not?
How do I know if ammo is SAAMI certified? I just checked a box of of Winchester Target, a box of Winchester SXZ, a box of Federal Range and Target, and a box of Atlanta Arms & Ammo. None of them say anything about SAAMI certification.
