    Chrono Info: Top 9mm & .45ACP Defense & Range Loads..Plus A Couple 5.56 Loads

    Massive range day on 30MAY17. Had range all to myself and chrono'ed almost everything I had in my safe. Trying to gain knowledge and clean out safe at same time-also going to settle on two or three main carry loads for my G17 & G19. so-here is what I got..may/may not take more than one post to get done. All are 10 shot groups.

    My G19 does NOT like any +P load at all. My G17 LOVES them..unreal groups at 10-15 yards and hitting small steel pop-up out to 50 easily.
    As for the +P .45ACP...IM DONE with them. VERY hard on my hands & gun also. Thought I shot em all up, but found a lot more in safe today. NOT gonna use them. Standard pressure in .45ACP from here on out.
    Also- loving MEN & Magtech ammo more & more. FYI- Magtech owns MEN from what I gather. Anyway..cleanest looking ammo you ever saw. The 9mm 124gr is accurate as heck out of my G17..even my G19 shoots them well.
    The 5.56 loads are great..but Ill hold off on accuracy reports until I fix a problem with my rifle.
    Shot many hundred rounds thru the seven hours I was there-sticking with Gold Dots and HST for carry loads..+P's in the G17, standard pressure in the G19.
    Chrono'ed many more range loads..nothing that aint been reported already, on those.
    Accuracy winner of the day: MEN 9B 124gr FMJ.
    Hope someone can use this info.

    That is a lot of data. Our numbers are very close for the two loads you posted info for that I have also tested. My G19 shoots both loads well.

    G19 w/Bar-Sto barrel, 49 deg overcast, pro-chrono

    Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P avg: 1167

    Winchester Ranger T-Series 127gr +P+ avg:1236

    Thanks for posting. I always like seeing what bullets do from real guns.
