When I got this, I wanted some more 9mm brass for reloading, so I bought the only box of 9mm brass-cased FMJ cartridges the shop had (the rest were aluminum cases or hollow point/segmented bullets).

They're "American Eagle" brand, made by Federal, the box says "Made in USA"...and they're 147 gr FMJ FP...

I know some here have commented on there not being any truncated 9mm rounds anymore...Well, here are some...but look at that bullet!!! A whopping 147 grs!!!

The box lists the muzzle velocity as 1000 fps...and muzzle energy as 325 ft-lbs...That is one honking round!!!

Definitely not for Lugers!!! But might make a nice display round...

Here's a pic of one on the left, along with a couple of my 124 gr FMJ-FP reloads...
