CaliPCC Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm new to the PCC scene, have heard all the merits about reloading but won't be able to go down that path any time soon. Waiting on my lower and will be assembling a carbine with the following specs and wondering which factory ammo the community thinks would be good to test: - QC10 receiver set and bolt - Taccom short stroke buffer system - kaw valley 16" barrel with linear comp - rise armament 140 trigger Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

S&W686 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) In my JP GMR-15 I have been using Montana Gold 124 JHP and Precision Delta 124 JHP. Both have worked very well in my rifle. I read your post a little closer and see you wanted live ammo. I have used Precision Delta Pro 124 JHP and Freedom Munitions 124 JHP. Edited January 13, 2019 by S&W686 Link to comment
Mac-pcc Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 You might take a look at the Aguila 115 or 124. Its pretty accurate and for factory ammo is fairly soft shooting. At least softer than Winchester,Federal or Remington in my rifles. Link to comment
andrewt556 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 federal champion the stuff that comes in red boxes at walmart I shot around 4k without ammo issues. Also the softest shooting in my pcc of all factory bulk i tested. Link to comment
ABQautoxer Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Anyone tried the 150gr Syntech stuff from American Eagle? Link to comment
Bwillis Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 It’s not really factory but give Atlanta arms or rush creek a look Link to comment

I have some and like you my pistols love it, we just haven't had a chance to test it on our PCCs. Accuracy or reliability dislikes? Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Be careful the heavy grain 9 bullets some are designed for suppresors and not fast enough for your PCC, it’s the same with the real light loads they don’t always have enough power to get out of the barrel . JP had a guy stack 20 some Bullets in his.barrel . Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Had really good results with the freedom munitions 135 hollow points ,( not defense hollow points, )but they are slow to get them to you . Link to comment
CaliPCC Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Good info @tnredneck thank you, any PF, FPS stats i should be looking at? Link to comment

TNREDNECK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Can’t remember the PF on the freedom my son might if he comes back on, we are shooting blue bullets now 135 grain PF 150 , but they are soft shooting . Another guy at our club is shooting the blue bullets at 140 PF . Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 We don’t break in barrels with the polymer bullets but once broke in they shoot nice he’s got MBX midweight ,Barrel and I have a JP Tactical . Link to comment
TNREDNECK Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 FYI the blue bullets are hand loads , sorry I forgot ! Link to comment

Startingover Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I typically just run 115g blazer brass. I am trying out some 115g Remington umc because it was a $0.01 cheaper, and bought a small pile. Link to comment
MoRivera Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Blazer Brass is pretty mild shooting as far as factory 115-gr. Also pretty accurate, maybe because it has a fully jacketed base. Interested in trying out the Aguila 115-gr as it is also listed rather low in velocity. Freedom 124- and 147-gr stuff is even milder, but at least as far as the reloads go, accuracy doesn't seem that good and it can sometimes feel inconsistent.

davsco Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 folks at jp said to just buy the cheapest 9mm you can find. i've used blazer brass and aluminum 115, fed am eagle 115 and similar with zero issues. just ordered a case of fed aluminum 115. super cheap at targetsportsusa with free deliv and rebate.

Silverscooby27 Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I’m running T1 PCC ammo (124 gr TMJ) in my JP GMR-15 because it doesn’t have exposed lead and then I don’t get buildup in the comp. TMJ vs. FMJ difference. It’s loaded longer than most, around 1.15-1.16, so I don’t know how those will run in colt mags but they have been fine in all kinds of Glock an Glock style mags. They have been 99.999%, I did get one abnormally super short round around 1.11 out of literally thousands of rounds. I’ve also run Atlanta Arms 124 gr, and Precision Delta 124 gr, both of those ran fine too. Haven’t chrono’ed anything yet but I imagine they would all make power factor. All are fine in terms of accuracy. https://t1ammo.com/product/competition-ammunition/9mm-luger-124-gr-tmj-pcc-competition-handgun-ammunition/ Link to comment
ABQautoxer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) To follow up on this topic, I noticed this press release: https://www.ssusa.org/articles/2019/1/17/preview-federal-syntech-pcc-9mm-ammo/ Since I already use their syntech 150gr in my pistol and like it, very excited to try this.

Kinda pricey, it looks like great ammo, but its twice the price of the blazer I typically use. Link to comment
RAVAGE88 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I’ve been running the Federal Suppressor ammo (AE9SUP1) through my Atlas Titan and GMR-15 with great results. MB Link to comment

MemphisMechanic Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 @Silverscooby27 if he’s running 9mm through a Titan, he’s probably a 3-gun shooter. They don’t have a PF to make. Link to comment
