WWB 9mm 115gr

[NewColonial]

I've got a lot of WWB 9mm stored up. Most of what I read online says it makes PF for production just fine. Anyone have or know of issues?

Unless you're running it out of a crazy short barrel you should be fine.

Made 136-ish for me out a stock Glock 17.

WWB is fine. It makes well over 135 in my M&P Pro.

Thanks. Guess I should have the specified bullet launcher: Sig P226 (4.4 in barrel)

mine made 140+ in my Glock 34.

I get 138-140 out of my 5" SA. Don't believe everything that you read on the interweb...even if you did read it on BEnos.

I've heard that it wouldn't make PF in cold weather out of a Glock 17 or 34, can't remember which.

This was at DoubleTap this year, from what I was told.

Now, I'm not saying that to scare you off, I use WWB and it works just fine out of a Glock 19.

But, just double-check it before a major match.

Though, if you're worried about it, I could take it off your hands for a small fee...

Mine made 142 or so, iirc, at Area 4 last year. I know it was over 140. It was COLD. Again, Glock 34.

At Area 6 this year I got a 136PF with my CZ SP01.

Running out of my P226 (around 25,000 rounds), I get about PF = 123 out of WWB 9mm 115gr.

Gun just came back from tune-up at Sig factory - no barrel issues that they noted (I asked).

Haven't found a good explanation yet for the low velocities.

I highly recommend that you find a chrono before taking any long trips for a match.

Same day, same ammo, same chrono - I get PF = 139 out of my XD Tactical.

That is the first time I have heard of WWB not making power factor from a "standard" size weapon. I would like to know why as well.

I know that I was chrono'd at a major shooting WWB .45 and it made 196 power factor!(230gr out of 5" 1911) Just a tad over huh?
