Title: 147 Grain Gold Dot Ammo - good price - Questions
Post by: bubbacloud on April 07, 2010, 02:48:58 PM: Do R9s eat the 147 as well as they do the 115? I saw the 147 LE version for $269 per 500 on ammotogo.com and want to buy some if they will work in the PUP...

MY R9 doesn't have any problem with the 147-grain bullets. Recently, though, I've changed to 124-grain loads since the P7 I often carrry as a primary was designed around the 115/124-grain NATO round and 147-grain fodder can occasionally throw off the timing of its gas-delayed blowback recoil system.

Post by: bubbacloud on April 09, 2010, 12:52:58 PM: I shot a box and a half through them yesterday and had my first ever fail to feed in one of my R9s. I did not try in the second one, cause I didn't feel like cleaning them both.

Interestingly, my Kahr PM9, which has also never failed (before yesterday) had a couple problems as well. I bought 1,000 of these because they should work fine in my Springfield EMP and XD9, but I think I will stick to the smaller stuff in the smaller framed guns....
