Anyone? It would be worth the drive for me, since none of my local shops stock it. I know I could order it, but I want some for testing before I buy big lots.
Any local shops stock Hornady Steel Match?

I believe Cabelas in De had the 223 match on my last visit. Give them a call and see. It was in 50 round boxes if I recall correctly.
It would probably be cheaper for you to head down to Greentop outside of Richmond. I don't know that they carry it but they have a huge ammo selection.

I'm looking for 9mm specifically. My local Cabela's is supposed to have the .223 version, but it wasn't on the shelf when I went Saturday.

have you looked on ammoseek, that stuff is around $15/box. is federal brass cased 9mm not working for you? lots of options under $10/box out there.
if you do want to try a bunch of different ammo, brownells has high prices but has free ship (and 10% or some fixed $ off) lots of times. a few other places have shipping capped at $10-15. also academy.com.

I too wonder why Hornady Steel Match, when something like PMC is reasonably cheap.

Since some are asking, I hate losing brass, and from when I used it, Hornady Steel Match ammunition gave great performance and accuracy out of my competition guns. Low report, okay recoil with the 9mm, and I don't care that the steel cases are out rusting away on a field. Normally, I'd just reload more, but I'm moving in the next few weeks, so I have to pack up my reloading gear and supplies.

have you tried blazer aluminum? that used to be my go-to ammo, but now it seems pricier than federal brass.

I bought Blazer aluminum and used it at the last Peacemaker 3-gun match. It worked well with my RIA 9mm, but it's still supersonic and the recoil is brisk compared to the heavier Steel Match ammunition. Recoil is even more obvious with my CZs, with the light slide weight.
I really liked the Browning 147 FMJs they have at Cabelas, but it's not always in stock and it's brass cased. I hate losing those, since the brass is really nice and easy to reload.
