One of the oldest and most versatile categories of firearms, rifles have been around for centuries and have many different applications. For activities like hunting, plinking, shooting targets, shooting long-range, or shooting competitions, rifles, as well as rifle ammo, provide the range and accuracy you need.
As with every category of firearms, there are lots of different choices of ammo for rifles. There are different calibers, brands, and types of rounds that are better suited for different types of shooting. Some of the top brands we’ll be looking at include Sig Sauer ammo, Winchester ammo, Remington ammo, Federal ammo, and CCI ammo. Additionally, there are several different types of bullets that can be purchased, each with a different application in mind. These are the main categories that we’ll cover today:
Common Rifle Ammo Types
•Full Metal Jacket (FMJ ammo) – A lead bullet that’s fully encased in a copper jacket. They can be round or flat-nosed depending on the caliber, and they’re typically used in target and range shooting. They punch a clean hole through a target and are not recommended for defense purposes, as they can continue to travel out of an exit wound.
•Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP ammo) – A lead bullet with a hollowed-out point and a jacket on part of the body of the bullet. This jacket helps keep the bullet together and maintains good velocity and trajectory while in flight. The hollowed point of the bullet allows it to expand and stop once it hits a target, making it a great choice for self-defense and hunting applications.
•Boat Tail Ammo (BT) – These rounds have feature a bullet with a tapered base that looks similar to the shape of a boat. This tapering allows the bullet to fly with more accuracy and stability.
Now that we’ve gotten that context out of the way, we’ll look at some of our most popular rifle ammo. While this doesn’t cover every conceivable caliber, we have tried to cover some of the most popular ones. These options deliver quality performance at a reasonable price, allowing you to hit your mark over and over.
22LR Ammo
Despite being the smallest caliber on our list, the .22lr round is still wildly popular among shooters. It’s a great round for plinking, target practice, and hunting small pests like birds, snakes, and squirrels. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to use, delivering low recoil in pistols and rifles alike. It also is one of the most affordable rounds out there, making it easy to stock up. Some of our favorite 22lr ammo choices include:
A great round that you can stock up on, this Remington Thunderbolt.22lr ammo makes it easy to plink or hunt small game. With each box containing 500 rounds of the 40-grain round-nose lead Remington ammo, you’ll never need to worry about how much you’re shooting!
If you’re looking for a .22LR round that’s specifically meant for hunting, this CCI Mini Mag ammo is right for you! These copper-plated CCI ammo hollow points deliver high muzzle velocity and the ballistic performance necessary to take out smaller varmints with ease.
Another extremely popular ammo with a variety of uses, .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO ammo is the common caliber used in AR15s and comparable modern sporting rifles. For those that don’t know, the 5.56 is a higher-pressure version of .223, which is why it’s the standard NATO round for the category. Therefore, any rifle that can handle 5.56 can handle .223, but never the other way around. Some of the applications of this category include plinking, target shooting, competition shooting, and hunting smaller game/varmints up to the size of hogs. A few of our recommendations for these calibers include:
For those that want to shoot for fun or a competition, PMC ammo is a great choice! These rounds of 55-grain 5.56 ammo deliver precise accuracy thanks to their aerodynamic boat-tail FMJ design. They’re reasonably priced rounds you can count on.

Another caliber that’s popular in tactical shooting, target shooting, and some hunting, 300 blackout was created with the specific purpose of being a subsonic round, it’s easily paired with a suppressor for a quieter shooting experience. While there are 300 blk rounds that aren’t subsonic, we’re going to stay focused on the subsonic ones. Our top recommendation for this caliber is:

As we’ve seen here, picking the right rifle ammo for your gun and shooting application can be a bit of a challenge. With that in mind, we hope the ammo picks we covered were able to help make the process of buying rifle ammo a little easier!
Arguably the most popular category of firearm there is, handguns have dominated the gun industry for decades. Whether you have sub-compact pistols for concealed carry, target pistols for competition shooting, traditionally designed revolvers from days gone by, or a combination of all of them, you can never have enough handgun ammo. Whether you’re hunting, concealed carrying, plinking, or target shooting, we have the ammo for sale you need here at GrabAGun!
When you’re trying to choose the right ammo for your handgun, you’ll quickly find that there are lots of choices regardless of caliber. For one, there are many brands to pick from, such as PMC ammo, Sellier and Bellot, Federal ammo, CCI Ammo, and more. Additionally, there are several different types of bullets that can be purchased, each with a different application in mind. These are the main categories that we’ll cover today:
Ammo Types
•Full Metal Jacket (FMJ ammo) – A lead bullet that’s fully encased in a metal jacket. They can be round or flat-nosed depending on the caliber, and they’re typically used in target and range shooting. They punch a clean hole through a target and are not recommended for defense purposes, as they can continue to travel after impact.
•Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP ammo) – A lead bullet with a hollowed-out point and a jacket on part of the body of the bullet. This jacket helps keep the bullet together and maintains good velocity and trajectory while in flight. The hollowed point of the bullet allows it to expand and stop once it hits a target, making it a great choice for self-defense and hunting applications.
•Jacketed Soft Point (JSP ammo) – Similar to jacketed hollow point rounds, jacketed soft point rounds have a nose made of a soft metal that expands upon impact. This means that maximum damage will be dealt and the bullet will often stop in the target, making it another good choice for self-defense and hunting applications. They’re also popular in areas where JHP ammo isn’t permitted for hunting.
In this post, we’ll explore some of our most popular handgun ammo across many standard calibers. These offerings are from some of the best brands in the ammunition business and will be certain to provide you with the performance you need.
.380 ACP Ammo
A slightly smaller option than the popular 9mm round, 380 ACP is a great round that delivers a punch while producing slightly less recoil. It’s great for defense applications as well as plinking and range use. It’s featured in many smaller pocket pistols because of its compact size and reliable performance. A few of our recommendations for this caliber include:
A solid full metal jacket round for anyone with a .380 pistol, this Winchester ammo delivers premium performance at an affordable price point. With 192 ft-lbs of muzzle energy and a muzzle velocity of 955 fps, this versatile round will easily serve your shooting needs.
Our pick for a defensive 380 ACP round, this Fiocchi ammo provides reliable firepower that you can count on in any situation. It delivers good stopping force and has brass casings which make them easy to use and give the option of reuse too.
Arguably the most popular caliber ever, 9mm has been the standard for pistols for several decades now.

A few of our 45 ACP recommendations are:

Additionally, all revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum can still fire .38 Special and 38 Special +P ammo, as the 38 Special is a shorter round that produces less pressure than the 357. A few of our recommendations for .38 Special include:

Shotguns are versatile firearms that can be used for hunting, self-defense, and sport shooting. When it comes to selecting the right shotgun ammunition for your needs, there are many options available from some of our top brands like Remington, Winchester, and Federal. Shotgun ammunition comes in a variety of sizes and types. The most common ones are 12-gauge, 20-gauge, 10-gauge, and .410 bore. Practically speaking, the two most popular and best-selling ammo for shotguns are 12-gauge ammo and 20-gauge ammo, each with its own unique properties.
The 12-gauge shotgun is the most popular type of shotgun for several reasons. It’s used for everything from self defense to hunting many types of small game and birds, including rabbit, squirrel, quail, dove, grouse, ducks, geese, and turkey.The same shotgun can be used with buckshot to hunt big game animals, like deer and bear, at close range in thick cover. The 12-gauge is also very popular for clay shooting or trap shooting competitions.
The 20-gauge shotgun has less power than the 12-gauge but still packs a punch when you need it. This shotshell is best suited for smaller game such as squirrels or rabbits because they have less meat on them than larger animals like deer do–so they require less power behind each shot fired at them. It is also very popular for hunting quail, grouse and mallards when using lead free, birdshot game loads. And 20-gauge ammo can be ideal for younger or smaller shooters who do not like the recoil associated with shooting a 12-gauge shotgun.
In this post, we’ll explore a few different types of shotgun ammunition available, their intended purposes, and top brands.
12-Gauge Shotgun Ammunition (Hunting and Sporting)
The 12-gauge shotgun is a popular choice for hunting as it offers a variety of ammunition options to fit different hunting needs. The most common type of 12-gauge ammo used for hunting is birdshot, which is designed to take down birds and small game. However, the 12-gauge shotgun can also be used for larger game with slugs or buckshot. The versatility and power of the 12-gauge shotgun make it a practical choice for hunters who may encounter a variety of game sizes and types. A few of our recommended 12-gauge shot rounds include:
The most common animals hunted with #4 shot are turkey and pheasant. The Federal #4 lead is designed to spread out upon leaving the shotgun, increasing the likelihood of hitting the target. This makes it ideal for medium to large birds in flight. The lead shot in this Federal Game-Shok ammo is heavy enough to penetrate and take birds down quickly and humanely.

The lead shot is the perfect size for all of these animals and the tight pattern ensures that you’ll hit your target.
12-gauge ammo is a popular choice for a self defense shotgun due to its effectiveness in stopping threats.

The 20-gauge pellets are small enough to ensure that you don’t over-penetrate, but they’re also powerful enough to take down your target. And there are options to use for crushing sporting clays in competition use as well. A few of our 20 gauge ammo recommendations include:
Winchester’s Super X buckshot 20 gauge ammo is perfect for hunting game like deer and predators.

For deer, the best bullet weight is 90 grains or more for the flattest trajectory and the best penetration to really stop a deer in its tracks. If you are more interested in more knock-down power that works great on deer or larger game, the .308 Winchester is more for you. Either way both are available in many different brands and models perfect for deer hunting.
.270 Winchester
Over many decades, the .270 Winchester has been a hit with deer hunters. One of the best long-range calibers, the .270 is great for open country. The .270 Winchester was way ahead of its time. While it packs a lesser punch than the .30-06 Springfield, it will get the job done when hunting deer and varmints! GrabAGun offers this Federal Power-Shok Ammoin .270 Win with 130-grain Jacketed Soft Point projectiles in brass casings. With a muzzle velocity of 3060 fps, these rounds are great for hunting!

This caliber has minimal recoil and allows for fast follow up shots. If you want to get another new caliber, the 6.5 PRC may be for you! The 6.5 PRC cartridge is known to deliver accuracy while also having a bit more power than the 6.5 Creedmoor.

The Best Waterfowl Hunting Shotguns
A waterfowl shotgun is, without question, the most important part of your waterfowl hunting gear. Without a good shotgun, you can’t know whether you’ll be able to take down the birds in your sights. Shoot with confidence by making sure your waterfowl shotgun is They’re built to take on the Durability, longevity, and heavy-duty performance are key characteristics of these shotguns. They should be built to deliver heavy loads in the worst conditions while lasting a lifetime.
Action: Semi-Automatic vs Pump
Semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns are the most preferred choice of waterfowl hunters worldwide. The key to success when hunting in a cramped blind is quick reloading and maximum capacity. Unlike the double-barrel shotgun, semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns have that coveted third shot, which could help you get your limit faster if you shoot well or waste ammo faster if you don’t.
Pump-Action Shotguns
Pump action shotguns are renowned for their reliability. Whether you’re knee-deep in mud or fumbling through marshes, the pump action shotgun will deliver. They’re durable, inexpensive, and will survive any weather condition. Pump action shotguns are also great for beginners, thanks to their smooth operation and relatively low cost.
Our pick for the pump-action category is the Remington 870 Fieldmaster shotgun. This All-American pump action brings hunters the best in any discipline. Beneath the no-nonsense, ready-for-work exterior of the Model 870 Fieldmaster lies the same quality, precision, and dependability that you’ll find in the legendary Remington 870 Wingmaster. Like all Remington 870 shotguns, this workhorse features a receiver milled from a solid billet of steel for maximum strength and reliability. It’ll be there when you need it!
Semi-automatic shotguns have risen as the waterfowl hunter’s favorite in recent years for many reasons. Their autoloading capabilities mean faster follow-up shots and less recoil. Unlike the semi-automatics of old, modern autoloader semi-automatic shotguns deliver steady reliability and consistency, making them the perfect candidate for your waterfowling needs.
A great option for a semi-automatic waterfowl shotgun is the Winchester Super X4. This shotgun comes in 12 or 20 gauge, multiple barrel lengths, and can hold 4 rounds. This semi-auto shotgun has a worldwide reputation for speed, reliability and handling. The Super X 3 was a tough act to follow, and making the Super X 4 evolution of this popular shotgun series even better than its predecessor was a real challenge. The new Super X4 is also lighter, faster cycling, smoother swinging, and more ergonomic than ever before!
If you prefer Beretta shotguns, the Beretta A400 Xtreme Plusshotgun is perfect for duck hunting. This 12 gauge shotgun features a soft comb, which reduces the felt recoil imparted to the shooter’s cheek even further. The A400 Xtreme Plus features Beretta’s exclusive Steelium Plus barrels, a first for hunting shotguns. Further enhancing the A400 Xtreme Plus is the addition of an extended charging handle and bolt release, as well as an enlarged loading port to allow for easier loading in adverse conditions.
Your shotgun shells should be powerful, consistent, and as reliable as your shot. While there are countless options out there, you must make sure your load is right for the type of waterfowl you’re hunting, along with when in the season you plan to hunt. We’re going to quickly look at some of the factors that go into choosing a shot shell:
Gauge
The next important consideration for your waterfowl shotgun is the gauge, which measures the inner diameter of the barrel. The most popular waterfowl choices are 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and 10 gauge. The best shotgun gauge for you is highly dependent on two factors: when you choose to hunt and what you’re hunting.
10 Gauge
In the early 90s, the federal government started requiring non-toxic ammunition to hunt waterfowl. Since the first 12 gauge non-toxic loads weren’t very effective or powerful, many hunters turned to the 10 gauge. Many hunters believed they were the best non-toxic loads available which started a huge comeback for the 10 gauge shotgun. It still remains a popular choice today, especially when hunting large geese late in the season or when taking longer shots on large birds. 10 gauge shotguns are usually heavier than other guns, but this also means less recoil. Find 10 gauge ammo for sale at GrabAGun!
12 Gauge
In recent years, the 12 gauge shotgun, chambered for 3-inch shells, has become the most popular choice for waterfowl hunters. This is due to its versatility. 12 gauge is great for a broad spectrum of duck hunting, covering anything from teal to geese. Because of the popularity of 12 gauge, it is easy to find ammunition just about anywhere. Find 12 GA shotguns for sale and shotgun shells at GrabAGun!
20 Gauge
The 20 gauge shotgun has risen in popularity over time, especially with waterfowl hunters, thanks to modern non-toxic loads like copper-plated bismuth. It is best used for close-range teal and wood duck hunting, delivering the most power in close quarters. Paired with the right choke, you’ll get tight patterns that pack an incredible punch. It’s also a great option for women, children, or new waterfowl hunters, thanks to its lighter weight and minimal recoil. Browse all GrabAGun’s waterfowl hunting shotguns and 20 Gauge shotgun shells for sale online.
Shot Size
Shot size refers to the pellets or projectiles inside a shotgun shell. As many hunters know, the right shot size will promote balance between pattern density and pellet energy.
Smaller-sized shots are identified by a larger number, and inversely, larger-sized shots carry a smaller number. Smaller shot sizes are great for ducks, while larger shots are better suited for larger birds like geese and swans.
Short-range Ducks
#4, #3, #2
Long-range Ducks
#2, #1, BB
Short-range Geese
BB, BBB
Long-range Geese
BBB, T Shot
The shot size should also be determined by whether you shoot early in the season versus late in the season. For example, #4, #5, and #6 shots are great for early-season teal and wood duck hunts. In the late season, when teal and woodies are gone, hunters would do well to move onto #3 and #2 shot.
Shell Types
There is a variety of non-toxic shot loads on the market with different specifications, price points, and capabilities. For a successful hunt, waterfowlers must find the right shell to fit their needs. Take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of each lead shot alternative below.
Steel

Battle of the Ammo: 357 Magnum vs 9mm
Alright, first things first. Why even compare .357 magnum vs 9mm? Well, both are extremely popular, capable, and proven rounds. In fact, we are comfortable saying they are the best combat cartridges in their respective platforms and respective genres. The fun comes from the fact that these two calibers are very much the same but also very different. So, let’s dig in and compare these two incredible calibers.

When you start looking between the two, you’ll notice some similarities. For example, the projectile sizes–they’re almost entirely identical. The 9mm uses a .355 caliber bullet and, predictably, the 357 Magnum uses a .357 caliber projectile. On top of that, both rounds came to be for material use, with the 9mm intended for military forces and the 357 Magnum for police forces. Ultimately, both rounds have faithfully served in law enforcement roles, in concealed carry roles, and far beyond. However…
While the two have quite a bit in common, they are also two completely different rounds. The 357 Magnum is primarily a revolver cartridge, intended to provide new levels of power to the fighting handgun. The 9mm is primarily an automatic cartridge that strikes that balance between power and capacity. Since 9mm is one of the most widely used rounds, we’re going to look at that first.
9mm: History and Purpose
The 9mm has been around for a long, long time. While it’s the choice for modern military and police forces, the 9mm round can be traced back all the way to 1901. It was then that Georg Luger decided two things:
-He didn’t need the ‘E’ at the end of his name
-The world needed a new bullet. That particular bullet would use a 19mm and a 9mm projectile
The actual round originates from the 7.65×21 Parabellum, but the shorter profile allowed it to function better with the Luger pistols toggle lock and allowed for a more ergonomic grip. (Long rounds make wide grips and wide grips aren’t overly comfortable) Still, the round packed a sufficient-sized projectile–for the case capacity–delivering efficient energy on target.
The 9mm round would go on to serve in World War 1, World War 2 (with the Tommy Gun), and every war since then. The cartridge became widely popular in pistols and submachine guns. Europe was actually the first to adopt the 9mm and did so with gusto. It was the official standard for both the Axis and Allies during World War 2. Fact: the Brits Sten gun faced off against the Nazi MP40 in combat, both blasting 9mm from submachine guns. The US wouldn’t get over its 45 ACP lust until the 1980s, which is when the 9mm finally became the United States standard.
Since then, it’s become the round of choice for NATO, the United States military, and most modern police forces. These days, it’s the dominant round in the US and continues to be the round of choice for a wide variety of shooters. With over a century on the market, it’s benefited from research, design updates, and lessons learned. These include effective projectile designs involving jacketed hollow point rounds. JHPs have actually helped narrow the gap between the 9mm and larger rounds like the 40 S&W and 45 ACP.

357 Magnum: History and Purpose
Despite WWI making the automatic pistol mainstream, most American police forces continued to stick with the proven six gun design in the following years. Revolvers ruled and most utilized the 38 Special. The prohibition era followed the Roaring 20s and with it came a wave of gangsters, meaning 1930s law enforcement needed something new.
At the time, the 38 Super Automatic was one of the only rounds that could penetrate through metal car doors with any kind of efficiency. Police wanted a revolver that could do that. Plus, bootleggers and bandits were now mobile, so that factored into development. A group of experts began experimenting with suped-up 38 Specials on 44 frames. The result was a tougher, higher velocity round that could pierce the thin metal that car doors were made from. It was Elmer Keith that worked so hard to make that suped-up 38 Special a reality. Ultimately, it was Smith and Wesson that made the 357 Magnum a reality and produced the first-ever, 357 revolver.
Immediately, the industry took notice and began producing a variety of 357 revolvers. Colt specifically, happily adopted the round in their numerous “Snake” guns. (Colt Python, anyone?) This new round was slightly longer than the 38 Special, an insurance measure done to make sure shooters couldn’t accidentally load 357 Magnum rounds and cause a handheld explosion.
The 357 Magnum cartridge became a favorite among law enforcement at every level–state, federal, and local police forces quickly adopted it. The heavy-hitting cartridge proved quite successful and easily earned the reputation as a well-known man stopper. While revolvers and 357 Magnum have faded from duty use, it’s still a popular configuration and caliber among civilian shooters.
357 Magnum Ammo Recommendations
As discussed, 357 Magnum is still highly popular amongst civilian shooters. It’s regarded as a quality and reliable home defense round. GrabAGun has plenty of 357 Magnum options available from a number of top-billed brands. CCI, Fiocchi, and Sellier and Bellot are just a few of the names we carry–at prices that you can get behind.

Okay, so we’ve gone over the history for each round, but now it’s time to get down to the brass tacks. What are the differences between 357 Magnum and 9mm ammo? Let’s look.
While both rounds offer outstanding performance for what they are, they are still very, very different. The 9mm is considered a bit of an intermediate pistol round designed primarily for automatic pistols while 357 is a heavy-hitter used mainly in revolvers.

When broken down like this, it’s easy to see that 9mm rounds are admittedly average–in terms of ballistics. It’s no 10mm nor is it 357 Magnum. The 9mm routinely reaches the FBI standards for penetration through 12 inches of ballistic gel. This means that, in a defensive scenario, this round will easily reach the vitals of a bad guy and effectively stop a threat. What’s more, because of those average ballistics, there’s no risk of overpenetration.
357 Magnum is a completely different beast. Clearly, this round outperforms the 9mm. It has no issue meeting FBI standards and even exceeding them. The minimum is 12 inches while the maximum is 18. Go past 18 inches and you risk overpenetration. Meaning, your chances of hitting an innocent bystander or destroying property increase with such a cartridge. That’s why proper self-defense bullet selection is a must when using 357 Magnum.
Though both rounds are meant for handguns they have also found their way into long guns. 9mm has become the caliber of choice for semi-automatic carbines while 357 works well in lever guns. It doesn’t matter which platform you choose, 357 Magnum predictably does better than 9mm. Load a Hornady Flex tip or Leverlution round and the 357 Magnum has hardly any drop out to 100 yards from a 16-inch barrel. With regular 357 Magnum ammo, you’ll usually see at least a few inches of drop at best.
Compare that with 9mm and you’re looking at 10 to 12 inches of drop out to 100 yards as well as the potential for lots of wind drift. So, in terms of ass-kicking, there’s no question. 357 Magnum kicks 9mm butt when it comes to effective range, energy on target, and wind drift.
Recoil & Muzzle Rise
We, clearly, established that 357 Magnum kicks butt ballistically, but as you’d imagine, you pay for it in felt recoil and muzzle rise. Before you get any ideas in your head, 357 Magnum is not some kind of crazy powerful cannon that will throw you back when you shoot it. This ain’t the movies. That said, a gun with this caliber loaded will have some serious recoil and muzzle rise compared to the 9mm.
In a duty-sized revolver with a big, heavy frame and 4-inch barrel, the 357 Magnum is a tight shooter that’s slightly stout. Not a big problem, right? Right. There will still be recoil and muzzle rise, but it is much easier to control, especially if you are comparing it with a snub nose. Choose a 357 Magnum with a snub nose design and that gun becomes much less manageable. An air-weight snub nose is a literal handful to hold onto when you start spitting lead.
A smaller 9mm might be pretty snappy, but it’s nothing compared to a 357 Magnum snub nose. Plus, follow-up shots will always be faster with a full-sized 9mm automatic. It’s just the nature of the beast. There is something to be said, however, for a 357 Magnum’s ability to chamber a 38 Special round. Heavier frame guns can easily and safely fire the tamer 38 Special and 38 Special +P loads, making the gun much more manageable to shoot.
No matter what, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you want that 357 Magnum power, you will pay for it. Higher capacity and lower recoil do have a cost. You’ll have to weigh your options to decide what would be best for you, your needs, and your situation.
357 Magnum at GrabAGun
So, which is better? That’s up to you. Ultimately, the argument comes down to semi-automatic handguns versus revolvers. 9mm exemplifies everything great with a semi-automatic firearm–mild recoil, the potential for 15 to 20 rounds, and suitable ballistics backed by fast follow-ups. Of course on the flip side, the 357 Magnum illustrates the sheer, raw power a revolver can offer. The long case packs a powerful punch in such a small projectile. With that in mind, the size of the revolver you’ll need to manage all that power can be difficult to conceal. Whereas, 9mm is far more catered toward concealed carry.
