Suggested 9mm ammo for beginner?

Cheap is good but no one mentioned bullet weight yet. 115 gr bullets tend to have the most snap and 147 grain is more controllable especially out of a heavier gun

I just ordered from TulAmmo, 9mm 1000 for $219.00

the Manufactures that I have, Glock, CZ, Beretta, Ruger, SIG, most all do not recommend steel case. If you ask anyone IPSC shoot he would not recommend steel. I you only shoot 100 to 200 rounds a years it's not big deal, but when your shooting 1000 to 5000 in a year it does.

Um yeah, admittedly the vast majority of the 42,000+ rounds I've put through my M&P have been brass cased, but probably 4 thousand have been steel cased - no issues. IPSC ammo is typically geared for that particular sport's requirements.

Canada Ammo 9mm Blaser $299/1000 works out to 30 cents a round, cheaper then LCW which is $175/500

Reliable gun, Italian sporting goods and International shooting supplies all had recent sales where 9mm were at $200-$220 per 1000rnd case of brass and/or aluminum.

would be nice if some of the other retailers would price match

Yep, buy it cheap and stack it deep. Any bullet weight will do for targets with the 9mm. I prefer the heavier slugs in 9mm though as I have found them to shoot well in all my 9mm's. Try a few different weights in your gun.

I 2nd this. Bought 2 cases of 1000, $235/1000 shipped. They shipped fast, the ammo shoots well, no issues with the steel case.

If you actually wear out a gun shooting steel cased ammo toss it out and buy another one. You got years of good service out of it.
