I shoot "quality" ammunition. Meaning if it's on the shelf, brass case, and it's a main stream name (and it's not from the old USSR... lol personal history leaves a mark) I shoot it. I know that some of my .22s occasionally don't like some ammo, but other than that they all eat it all just fine. So, it's all obviously "quality" stuff.
Or not. Reading another thread I realized I have zero knowledge about the real quality of the different factory brands. Or the sub-names of different brands.
By quality I mean quality of components, consistency; every round is the same, and safety; they don't blow up, hang, squib, etc.
Duck duck has been no help. Hell, one article on the "best quality" ammo basically has a list that looks like my criteria. "Hur dur I recognize that brand! hur dur..."
So, is there any objective quality knowledge of bog standard FMJ stuff out there? A list, say, of #1 Federal "Champion", #2 CCI "Blazer Brass", #3 Winchester "White Box", and so on. Or are they basically the same in components, consistency and safety? (which now that I've typed this all out I suspect is the case...)
