I have both factory MP5s and older MKE imports and both seem to run pretty much everything 100%.
For defensive ammo I've run Golden Sabers for decades but stopped years ago and switched to Hornady. I have shot Hydra Shocks and Ranger over the years with zero problems, but Hornady (whatever the LE stuff is) seems the most consistent for JHP ammo. Every model including the K will fire 147 grain just fine. The lone exception is SD models with ported barrels and integral suppressors.
For range ammo WWB used to be the cheapest "decent" ammo. Speer lawman is pretty good, especially if you need 147 gr ammo for suppressor but still affordable range ammo. Geco 124 is my absolute favorite range ammo when it's available at a good price. Remington, especially UMC is notorious for being underpowered, haven't had it fail in a MP5 (factory or contract) but I've seen it hang in other guns.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
