Way too cold today for anything more scientific, but here are the results of my limited testing:
PRC 124 grain in an Argentine Hi-Power (20 rounds):
Hi 1184 fps
Low 1128 fps
Avg 1161 fps
Rem. 115 grain in an Argentine Hi-Power (10 rounds):
Hi 1122 fps
Low1079 fps
Avg 1097 fps
WWB 115 grain in a 1940 Luger (8 rounds):
Hi 1158 fps
Low 1085 fps
Avg 1127 fps
Like I said, not scientific, but indicative none-the-less. I would not call the PRC ammo +P, let alone +P+ or "red hot +P++". Use whatever you like, but nothing but foolishness to call the PRC ammo dangerous or over-loaded to dangerous pressures. In addition, a correct reading of the attached thread about the exploding Arty. Luger clearly indicates a poor "gunsmithing" job and not an ammunition problem.
I will continue to use WWB in my Lugers, as they function 100% with that, but I would not hesitate to use the PRC 124 grain FMJ in any of my 9mm pistols.
That's all I have to say on the issue, and I will not participate in any foolish pissing-match over this.
Can't wait for a bit of "Global Warming" to hit my neighborhood!
