Thread: 9mm - Factory ammunition (reliability)

That maxxtech steel is crap, the brass not much better, lost of issues ftf, fte in our club guns.

However I pickup as much of the brass as I can, when reloaded it makes perfect hunting ammo for the carbine and I don't stress about brass recovery.

Normal load for me is 5.2gn powder / 115gn pill which makes minor power factor in my glock 17.

Now with the maxxtech, the same pill only requires 2gn of powder to make minor power factor. And seating pills is easy, push them in until they sit on the shelf in the case.

I spent a fair bit of time on the actual powder needed, starting very low and working up, did want to destroy anything :-)
