joestefano Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Has anyone tried the MT Gold in 9mm 124gr CMJ for a major load? With a complete metal jacket around theses, any reason to keep using JHP? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 It's what I use since some of my other 9mm guns don't like the JHP. I never used the MG 124 JHP so I can't compare them but I did see a post on here a few months about that comparison. Nothing significant...

BritinUSA Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I've used these for years. Pros: I can tumble live rounds after loading without the risk of getting media into the hollow-point No lead build up in the comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyNo! Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I shoot them in major with no issues. You can load longer with FMJs but with JHP, you get more bullet in the case. I've had no problems running them at 1.160 under 124 CMJ's with 8.2 grains of HS-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Reason I went with CMJ is that there is no lead exposed at the bottom of the bullet. Clean compensator! accurate as JHP. Since its round nose, reliability of feeding in the ramp is 100%..I never looked back. My chrono in 9major have reached up to 1450s fps with IMR 7625 or autocomp, no problem.

RH45 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I tried them in my 9mm open gun that shoots under an inch at 25 yards, with Zero, 125 grain, jhps, and with the CMJs it grouped about 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannu Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I tried them in my 9mm open gun that shoots under an inch at 25 yards, with Zero, 125 grain, jhps, and with the CMJs it grouped about 3". Same here with 115gr and 124gr CMJ´s, both around 2.5" @25 MG JHP´s shoot little better than CMJ´s but Zero JHP´s go into one ragged hole all the time from KKM 5.4". My gun feeds all of those without any issues, but Zero´s are hard to find and I am shooting MG these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ap38 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Just bought a case of them and am very happy. They feed well and are accurate in my gun (38 super). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
