Noob here, just got my Ruger PCC and can't wait to go try it at the range, my question is regarding ammo.

There is so much to choose from, should I look for anything specific? What's the deal with the grain? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

Thank you very much for that.... So is higher grain generally better/more ideal? Is bronze and brass ok?

[u/GinnAdvent → u/nyg420]

I would buy different grain like 115, 124, and 147 just to try them out and see the difference yourself. 124 ses to be the most common ones used. Just make sure don't get P+ ammo by accident.

CCI Blazer seems to be the most popular ones every uses here. PMC also another popular brand here as well.

S&B, Aguila, and Federal also have good reviews. It's mostly Winchester I heard has some issues. Remington is about half and half.

I see, thanks for the info.

I believe if you can search the old thread, similar topic has been discussed before since it's a very popular and relaible PCC.
