Yesterday, the brown truck of happiness dropped off a crate of cheap-ish foreign 9mm ball, that Uncle pointed out last week.
The cans were old, filthy and smelly, but intact. The ammo looks pretty good, although the boxes themselves fall apart when you pick them up. I took a few boxes to the range today to see how they shoot.
First impression is that they are noticeably snappier than my normal Georgia Arms range ammo. I fired 150 rounds through the G19, without a single misfire, hangfire, stovepipe, failure-to-feed, failure-to-eject, squib or kaboom. Like most crusty old foreign-made milsurp ammo, this stuff smelled pretty strange. They shot straight when I did my part, although it took me a while to get used to the hotter load.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that this was made as SMG ammo, but should make for good plinking/recoil therapy ammo.
Ammo info:
124gr 9mm FMJ
Mfg. P.O.F. (Pakistan) in 80's
Brass cases, Berdan primed
Update: Some folks are saying this is "too hot" for pistols. Shoot it at your own risk, obviously. Clearly, you don't want shoot it in either a crappy Lorcin or something as precious as an original Browning Hi-Power P-35. But I intend to shoot the rest of this case through the same Glock, and I don't expect any problems. |
