just started using pow'rball ammo in my colt and ordered some in 9mm --anyone tried it out
-
Pow'Rball is a +P loading -- and the Rohrbaugh is designed for standard pressure ammo.
I've used it on my HK P7s. It is ok in 9mm -- better in .40 and .45, downright pitiful in .380
I prefer DPX over the Pow'Rball.
For the R9 -- I use 115gr Gold Dots.

here is my thinking -I carry the R-9 and w/Gold dots out of every 3 mags I get 1-2 jams .....it gets hung up on the ramp ,....The beauty of the pow'r ball is that slick little poly ball on top -----so I feel confident that in an emergency -I won't get a jam -----yes +p -BUT I wouldn't run to the range and run 50 rounds --just for carry when if needed I would feel OK--so does anyone think w/this method that those 7 emergency rounds would harm anything ????---I wonder if anyone at Rohrbaugh would look at this topic? --------

Don't do it. If you are having problems call Rohrbaugh and visit with them about what is going on. May just need new mag springs. Tom
