Match 9mm ammo ?

[MegademiC]

I just tried some geco 115 gr and am impressed with the accuracy.
Its advertised as ipsc minor, but havent chronoed it yet, so not sure how consistent or “into” the minor power factor it is.
I would not hesitate to use it for locals.

It's my carry ammo. I trust my life to it.

You carry ball by choice? Lordy!

Yeah, we've been over it a few times, it always ends the same...

I’m sure it’s an interesting conversation.

As somebody doing trauma for a living, FMJ/Ball has a terrible track record.

His focus is on accuracy, nothing but C4 hits.

Honestly for the cost and fact it’s only for competition, just reload your own. You can pick up a Lee Classic Turret and it’s a great beginner press is sort of an in between a single stage and progressive.

I’m using a polymer coated bullet because
1. they’re cheaper
2. since the coating isn’t as thick as a plated bullet, they allow for less powder to achieve desired velocity

With that and years of shooting matches I have a 147gr 9mm round that uses quality powder and Federal primers (softest/reliable) for about .12-.17/round. It’s ridiculously soft shooting and without exaggeration it has same perceived recoil as a .22 pistol out of my 1911.

I’ve shot Atlanta Arms, Speer, Federal, Winchester, etc. and NOTHING comes close to hand loads tuned to your firearm in terms of cost and felt recoil/snappiness.

They are not the softest shooting, but bulk ammo can be had for $.16/rd right now... all comes down to how much free time you have. I quit reloading for the time being and am saving brass. If ammo goes back up or becomes less available (election panic?) i’ll dust it off. Definately good to have the option.

Yup, we’ve played that card already, also.

Can’t fix stupid, huh?

Im shooting a match tonight and I tried some of the low velocity / recoil ammo at the range the other day. It definitely felt better, but I dont know if I'm good enough for such a small gain will make much difference to me. There is a lot of other shit I need to work on.

Range report to follow.
