Hollow Point ammunition

JD · 10-16-2013, 05:21 PM

I've used Federal 115 grain 9BP ammo through both my Interams Mausers and a Finnish M-23 without a problem. The bullet has a rather rounded profile and feeds perfectly in my guns, and the ammo has a extremely good reputation as a defense round. It is also not a hot round at all and a bit on the mild side. I don't plan on using them as defense guns, but I did want to see if they would function with factory hollow point ammo.

I've also had very good luck in my reloads with Remington 115 grain and 124 grain jacketed hollow points, though you have to pay attention to the overall loaded length and load them out to about the max. length possible.

I use Federal (Bulk Ammunition) with 9BP 115 grain in both of my S/42s (1936 and 1937) without a problem. I wanted Winchester 115 gr Silvertips but they are not available anymore and so I went Federal 9BP lot number (for a thousand rounds) V23J597.

This ammunition works in both of my P-08s, both of my P-38s, my Hi Power (Browning) and my SIG P210.

I could not find decent ammunition especially in bulk at Walmart or Local Gun Shops or Cabella's or Bass and Pro. So I just ordered it from Bulk Ammo.
