What ammo for in MP5-type guns? JHP's?
Many new MKE AP5 / AP5P owners right now, including me.
My AP5 has ran fine with 124 gr Fiocchi fmj. After about a few mags of that I tried WW 115 gr, Geco 124 gr, and just a few rounds of Tula 115 gr. No problems.
For defensive ammo I fired about 10 rds each of Hornady 124 gr +p xtp and Rem Golden Sabre 124 gr +P. No problems.
I've also ran 50 rds of Fiocchi 147 gr JHP (Not xtp) and that ran fine.
Underwood Lehigh 68 gr +p was a no-go. Out of 5 rounds had two stoppages. One was ruined with the bullet shoved into the case.
I have some Freedom munitions 147 gr fmj with brass and steel cases but haven't tried them yet.
Would anyone else like offer experiences with ammo for MP5-style guns? Especially defensive ammo?
How about lead / coated reloads? LHP?
I'm trying to stock up on 147 gr ammo because I'm thinking suppressors this fall. (No unjacketed through suppressors, I know)
Oh, does the AP5P ("K") fire 147 gr ammo okay with the factory bolt lock piece?
