    I have shot WWB and Federal Champion in 9mm. I hear a lot of comments that WWB is dirty. I don't pay much attention to how "dirty" ammo is, they all leave burnt powder behind and all go bang.

    If I had a preference it would be towards Federal Champion.

    Now if its between Federal American Eagle and WWB, I would say they are equal.

    WWB - a bit dirty.
    Fed - a little on weak side. Better price.

    Brass for reloading - I like the Federal cases better than WWB. It's a bit on softer side.

    All my guns cycles fine with Fed. So with that said, I will pick Federal.

    Whichever is available.

    Truthfully I have found very little difference performance or dirt wise.

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

    You didn't say what you will be shooting them out of.

    But both work fine in my Glocks. FWIW, everything works fine in my Glocks.

    If this is just for practice, I'd get the cheapest one.

    I buy what ever is available and my glock eats it up. Between the two I see no difference. I say buy both and report back to us.
