I'm thinking as I'm getting older to reload less and just buy my range ammo.
I have used UMC, Winchester white box, Federal American Eagle, and Magtech.
My question is which 230 ball range ammo is the most accurate and cleanest?

Ended up ordering 500 rounds of Winchester White box from Brownells on sale.
I used mostly Winchester USA ("white box") before I began reloading, and I had no complaints. I have also used all of the others you named and I don't recall any problems with any of them. I can't remember when I last purchased any range ammo, though.

I supplement my brass collection with Herter's, WWB, or Winchester Military. All of those have been reasonably accurate.
I have used the above mentioned ammo in general as well as SIG, Browning, plus commercial reloads. They all seem to be fairly accurate based on my shooting skills (WARNING!!!! Not a professional shooter). IMO, I have found the Federal white box to be a bit dirtier. I do know that my 27 year old Para works well with 230 gr ammo. I have not tried any aluminum or steel cased ammo.
There isn't any problem that can't be handled thru the proper use of high explosives.
I had 3 failures in WWB at a class I attended in April this year, same box, same mag.
They did not fire in another gun after mine so it was the ammo. It isn't a lot nor is it uncommon to see Winchester practice ammo have a few duds with the local PD guys I shoot with as well.
Federal for me now when I buy factory ammo.
My range ammo is the same weight as my carry ammo, 185gr. All my range ammo are reloads and my carry ammo is factory. I do have a stash of factory range ammo and know it will be good for barter if needed. Just my 2 cents worth.
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.
