Also, OP, another option to consider would be S&B. I have shot the stuff for years, and have always favored it for training, and it was definitely loaded hotter than most domestic manufacturer ball. I know my Beretta loves the stuff. Not sure if the MEN might not be better ammo than the S&B, but it is an option and prices on it have been pretty good lately like under $200 before shipping.
FYI- Just found a youtube video with chrono info on the S&B 124gr FMJ..its running 1104fps out of a 5" barrel.
The Winchester NATO load is running about 1207 or so out of same. This is a +P load for all intents.
I appreciate all responses...I think Ill get the MEN after all is said n done.
The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.
