“I have only used Sterling buckshot before using this 9mm. The steel cases were fine, but the powder they use doesn’t seem great. A lot of unburnt powder seemed to ignite as it left the barrel… which gave a good show of sparks but inconsistency while cycling. This is not the case for all firearms just my particular experience while using my carry pistol. I have a newer sig sauer p365xl… and since the spring is so stiff and still needs to be broken in some, I get a lot of short cycles. Running this ammo in a brand new glock 48 there no issues. It seems like the unburnt charge in the round won’t fully cycle certain firearms with very stiff springs. But on the bright side I’m a pro at clearing malfunctions now. Probably not the first choice of ammo if you have a close tolerance firearm or something with a stiff spring. Been through about 600 rounds and it seems fairly consistent.”
“Ammo shot good. I had a couple of ejected shells get stuck in the slide but when I held the gun tighter I had no other issues. I shot 150 rounds and the only issues where the first few when I didn't grip the gun tight. I am guessing these may be lighter loads and that's what may be causing the issues that people report.
Ammo is real dirty. Very dirty.... Good thing I don't mind cleaning my guns”
