All "nato" ammo is not the same, commercial "nato" which should be hotter, is not- if the fps data on the boxes are to be believed!

Seiger,
have you crono'd any Nato ammo? if so which brands or which military ammo.

I can't agree that "handloading" is the ultimate to make a 9mm luger run well; I have and do use at least 4 or 6 brands of 115 and 124 gr ball ammo that works equally well and will run a luger in good trim without problem; including from a drum.

Hi,

Opinions often vary, that's one reason I am here to learn.

Of the REAL 9mm NATO ammo I have fired (cross in circle proofed, crimped primers) it has all produced breach block slap! This will, eventually, destroy a Luger!

A lot different types of ammo will make a Luger "work". To work "right", you should be able to place 8 shots to one hole at 25 yards with no jams in at least 1,000 rounds fired.

This can be done with proper hand loads, but NOT with any modern commercial ammo that I am aware of.
