CCI’s Independence ammo - 9mm

Gene Pool · July 4, 2019, 11:27 AM

Gentlemen,

Does anyone have shareable experience with CCI’s Independence ammo, specifically 9mm, 115 grain FMJ? Is it comparable with other USA made ammo of that type? My use is for practice and pinking.

Also, is there a foreign made ammo comparable to it?

I am interested in brass case ammo only.

Thank you in advance,
Gene Pool

115 grain FMJ at 1145 FPS. CCI Blazer Brass runs 1125 FPS. Winchester's runs 1190 fps. S&B's 1280 fps. Federal AE 1180 FPS. Their Ultra 1125 FPS. Their Champion 1145 FPS.
In any case, if you're not reloading you must try a box of as many brands as you can to find the ammo your pistol shoots best. The price of said ammo means nothing.
