Hi-Power Jack Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I am very interested in buying a trubore 9mm...am just wonderin if I can use winchester or federal factory ammo,Any input is greatly appreciated.Thanks I ran Remington factory 115 grain fmj's out of my TruBor when it was new (three years ago) - worked fine if the gun was very clean and well lubricated. When the gun got dirty it would choke once in a while. I could have lightened the recoil spring, I imagine, and stayed with it = but I found a source of major ammo and have been shooting major since. For practice I loaded the rounds to PF 150 and they worked fine, now I use 160 PF ammo for practice, and they also work perfectly. I was very happy with my Brazos TruBor, by the way. Don't forget to get some tuned mags - just NEED two 140's and one 170 - more are better but you just need the three of them to start. Good luck with it.

Brazos Custom Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It will probably need to be run a 1,000 rounds or so with major power factor ammo (or something close). After that it should run with factory ammo. You may have to change out the recoil spring to something lighter than stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
