Often overlooked as potential Christmas gifts, quality ammunition can make all the difference in the world when it comes to the enjoyment of the shooting sports. A world-class firearm is nothing without proven ammo. From the obvious attributes like accuracy and repeatability to the more specialty characteristics such as subsonic velocities and clean burning powder, ammunition manufacturers have really stepped up their game in recent years. I have listed some of my favorite ammo I’ve used in 2018.
Have a brand in mind that didn’t make the list? Let me know I’m an idiot in the comments section below.

SYNTECH 9MM LUGER 150GR TOTAL SYNTHETIC JACKET ACTION PISTOL AMMO
Shooters who compete at the highest levels need ammunition built for the demands of their discipline. American Eagle® Syntech™ Action Pistol is specifically designed for the action shooting sports and loaded to power factor requirements with heavy, flat-nose bullets for more reliable knock-downs on steel targets in competition. Like all Syntech loads, they feature the exclusive Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ™), which prevents metal-on-metal contact between the bullet and barrel, eliminating copper and lead fouling as well as reducing damaging heat and friction. Combined with clean-burning powders and the Catalyst™ lead-free primer, Syntech Action Pistol provides the softest-shooting and most reliable performance possible for high-volume competitive shooters.
CCI – QUIET-22 AMMO 22 LONG RIFLE 40GR LEAD ROUND NOSE
CCI Quiet-22 is ultra-quiet plinking ammunition in .22 Long Rifle. It offers a 75% reduction in perceived noise from standard velocity .22 LR, roughly 65db at the shooters ear. This new ammunition offers air rifle sound levels with rimfire performance. Excellent accuracy and low velocity (710 fps), great for backyard plinking and introducing youth to the shooting sports. These cartridges may be used in semi-automatic firearms, however manual cycling of the action may be required.
