9mm Factory Ammo

Jeffrey Hite · Aug 2, 2014

My Glock 34 shoots the Winchester 124 NATO round in the white box the best. I'm looking for better accuracy. I want tighter groups at 30-50 yds. Buying some hollow points today to try. For matches is there something I need to try. I know I can order on line but I want to try here first.

How tight are your groups? Are they off of a bench?

2 1/2- 3" at 20 yds. Shooting off sand bag. I was told that the NATO rounds were hot loads. I would like 1-1 1/2 group. I have a new 2011 ordered but not here yet.

I found some 115 ammo that I like. How does 115 do on big poppers.

I run 4.0gn of Titegroup under 115 Berry's through a G17 and they knock down poppers every time.

I ran 115gr federal walmart for the first 3 years that I shot. It was 130 pf so it did fine. If you're buying factory ammo it will at least be 130 pf.

What is the lowest PF one could use for 3 gun? The best bullets I've shot have a 126-127 PF.

I know guys that use sub 120 of for 3-gun. If your gun runs it will work. If you are worried about a heavy popper grab some hot stuff just on case or just aim high and double tap them.

Ive seen people run 95-100PF without TOO many issues. I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot. I would just buy 50 of everything that someone like Freedom munitions has and try them out.
