If you want a box or three for $35 each plus $20 ground shipping, I can get it for you. You just did not sound like you wanted to spend that- but then I recall you are in California, and ammo must go to an ffl dealer, so then the cost goes up even more. ![]() So I guess you just must be patient. I do not recommend firing into your pool either.

Am in Nevada so not so many restrictions here. Patience I have, generally. Let me see what the FMJs do, get those run through the gun and see. Oddly, the second time I took the gun out, older mag, the gun was ejecting and hold back working when I cupped my left hand and applied pressure to base of mag (slight rise). Not the case with the new Mec-Gar Mag that does provide hold back when toggle is pulled by hand? I need another day at the range to tinker with it some more. |

So PPU bought and inbound. Quick look at the
Fiocchi specs: Muzzle Velocity is 1190 FPS Muzzle Energy is 290 ft Lbs PPU specs: Muzzle Velocity is 1280 FPS Muzzle Energy is 413 ft Lbs I tried to do some research and see if there was any error in these numbers, the Fiocchi Muzzle Energy varied a bit, but less than 5% That is a huge delta in muzzle energy so that would explain why the PPU is better at working the toggle and cycling the next round. But is this TOO MUCH energy? Folks have had good luck with this ammo at 7.65 and the Luger? How does PPU get such a bigger energy in the same casing as the Fiocchi? |
