Title: FMJ
Post by: Fud on October 13, 2004, 11:34:51 PM

Didn't think of this until after I left the range and I won't have a chance to go back there for at least a few weeks so I was just wondering if 115grn FMJ ammo is reliable in the Rohrbaugh? Anyone try it yet?

I use WWB 115 FMJ's quite a bit .. also in my second R9 have been putting some Bosnian made ''Igman'' 124's thru .... very successfully.

Other 115's that seem pretty OK are the S&B FMJ's.

I do tho expect the occasional malfunction with ball ammo - pretty rare for me but - can happen.  For practice I find this no problem, plus - I am ever more getting to stage where I am not keen to punish the gun unnecessarily.  It's not a plinker and I just need to know it's reliable ... which for me with GD's it sure is.

I have put 50 rounds thru my new one ... and just cleaned it and lubed ... it is now stoked as carry and will probably wait a while before firing off a mag full of SD ammo .... and that'll be it .. no special extra clean ...... just test and carry.

Back to ball tho - IMO perfectly adequate for practice .... even allowing for odd malfunction.... and I think 115's should cut it pretty much OK along with 124's.

I have shot over 100 Win White Box FMJs through my R-9 with no problems at all.

At this point, it is "broken in" and will only get the occasional mag full of carry ammo.

FMJ for carry as well (animal concerns).
