They call them magnum , does it really mean anything or does it just sound good. More powerful 9MM loads are normally called +P or +P+, not magnums. I use blazer and find it reliable and accurate. £ 22 per 100.The Armalon carbine has a fiddley little spring which seems to help hold the 9mm round against the bolt head. Anyway, if you use magnum loads, this will break.

Re: Good 9mm ammunition for Badger
There is still some L7A1 Hirtenberger kicking around, it's definately +p+ and it's incredibly accurate at 300yds

Re: Good 9mm ammunition for Badger
IF we were to take up paw loading, would it be possible to pop a big cast boolit, or maybe even something like a .338, into a 9x19 case and make a powerful subsonic round?

Re: Good 9mm ammunition for Badger
Dan what do you use the Heisenburg ammo with? I've seen 'unsafe to fire' notices on the net due to over-pressure but they relate to it's use in pistols. I'm very weary of putting some into an LR9 despite having as few boxes of it.

Re: Good 9mm ammunition for Badger
I do use it as Unicorn fodder, I bought a large quantity for our club and we have had zero issues in about half a dozen guns, all early Uzi versions. The warnings are more for unproofed US pistols.
Re: Good 9mm ammunition for Badger
Such pressure warnings used to be on the boxes of issue 2z 9mm.
Only for use in SMGs & Browning High Power pistols....or words of that ilk

Re: Good 9mm ammunition for Badger
I believe, and I may be wrong in this, that it was meant for use in Sterling SMGs in cold/arctic conditions.
