I have used Fiocchi in the past and it has been very reliably, but accuracy no better than others I have tried in my Glocks. Have not tried it however in my XDM. On yours and flechero's suggestion, I will probably pick up some Fiocchi and S&B and give it a try. My shotgun (870) for some reason loves S&B buckshot. I do like the Freedom Arms Match 124 grain, because it has proven accurate and has low recoil while making IDPA power factor, but like I said unless one of you folks knows where to get some it looks like it is not available at this time.

I like S&B buckshot too. I reload so aluminum is out. I don't like reloading S&B as it seems hard to load primers into at least on 9mm. Fiocchi 115 gr 9mm running just about $170+ per thousand with free delivery and no sales tax. Great plinking ammo. Also safe for my wife's ported Shield as much of the Federal, CCI and American Eagle is listed as not for use in ported barrels. To be honest, I haven't reloaded 9mm in some time since it is so inexpensive right now. Had HRC won it might be a different story.

Re: Testing 9mm Loads in my XDM 5.2

Consider one more brand, Fiocchi 115 gr. Very inexpensive and very good. I know you cant test everything though.
