Who makes the hottest factory 9mm ammo

I did as much comparing Bullseye to AA#7 in a comped pistol of mine and the difference was noticeable.

Reading stuff on the internet is all fine and good but consider yourself lucky in the respect that you have everything you need to do some really cool experimenting. :)

AA#7 is an excellent candidate for a “high gas volume”, comped barrel propellant.
Meters well too.

I'm not sure how you define "factory" (i.e. is it only the big ones like Federal/Winchester/Speer?) but Underwood has an obscene 147gr +P+ load, and they also make a similarly blazing 124gr. I think both use GDHP bullets, so they aren't even close to being relatively "affordable" for training or range fun. Nonetheless they are quite spicey and I would wager cycling wouldn't be an issue.

I've seen YouTube videos where the actual velocities were higher than the advertised ones.

PB brought a box of this Winchester "Active Duty" (I call it "active shooter" as an ode to the idiot media) 115 gr truncated fmjs. Very snappy compared to everything else we shot. Felt like a 40 cal.

What did yall think of this load overall? Accurate? In my Glocks it is. It was advertised as being specifically developed for the Sig service handgun "for reliability". I dont know that Ive seen that before.

I started this thread to get my Sig Spectre comp'd gun to run like a comp'd gun. Last week it wouldn't cycle my 147 soft shooting ammo, I left the slide locked back all week and this week it cycled everything. 100% reliability with all ammo. Super hot 115's and soft 147's and everything in between. However the gun ran like all guns without a comp.

I have learned comps are tricky, and I am no magician.

Overall okay. 10/10 in the black of a B8 at 25, no holdovers for 50 & 100yd B/C steel, M17/18 and misc Glocks, no issues.

It shot well and was def toasty. It stacked shots on steel at 25 yards. So no complaints and a good training load if you want to simulate your HD loads. Very good point in that regard.

Thank you gents. Im stocking up on it, and still love the NATO stuff too. The velocities out of a 16" carbine were pretty dang good.
