Shoot the same weight bullet when you practice as in the carry ammo... Feel and point of impact should be roughly the same.
For cheap stuff, I shoot PMP, Denel and Sellier $ Bellot. All three shoot about hte same, and I get whatever's the cheapest when I shoot it. (I like S&B .45 ammo better).
Denel is very clean, S&B is very dirty. (I think Denel is made by the same people who make PMP, but it seems to shoot cleaner.)
After a number of squibs (5 in one lot), seeing many misfires and hard primers, etc., I no longer shoot Blazer. (Its the range ammo where I shoot, they're having a lot of problems, nowadays, with that ammo.) Blazer's Quality Control seems to have gone to hell...
