Manufactured Major PF Ammo Choices

[Fo0]

What is the best manufactured major PF ammo to buy for 38 Super Comp? 

 

The only two places I found were AtlantaArms and BigCountryTactical 

Atlanta Arms doesn't give out what ingredients they use - JHP

Big Country Tactical says they use CCI primers and VV 3n38 and Montana Gold CMJ

 

Anyone have tried any of these or which would be better to try?

Thanks

I have used the Atlanta Arms ammo in 38SC. The ammo was a hair over major pf in my guns. See if you can try before you buy. 

 

Other than that, the ammo used new Starline brass with a JHP bullet. No malfunctions and was accurate. 

 

Big Country Tactical looks promising. I would try them in the future.

I have shot approximately 1600 rounds Atlanta Arms ammo in 38SC in the past. I have never experienced any adverse issues whatsoever. This is very consistent ammo. At an outside air temperature of 87F, the ammo chrono'd to 170-173 PF over ten shot average with an extreme spread of 24 fps and a standard deviation of 7 fps.

When I started shooting 38 Super I did not have the reloading equipment for this caliber. So, I shot many Atlanta Arms 38 Super and Super comp with no issues.  My open gun had 2 popple holes so the PF came to about 169.  They are a great company to deal with. Keep shooting that until you start loading yourself.

Everglades makes some as well.

He’s looking for 38 SC. Everglades is loaded too short for 2011s, probably better for other platforms like CZ, Tanfos and Glocks. They are loaded in the 1.14 range.

I tried AA 38sc ammo a few years ago and oddly enough it’s the only ammo I’ve ever shot out of my open gun where I experienced light strikes.  It was about one out of every 100 rounds.   They seem to be a reputable company so it had to be something on my end.

A buddy of mine shot several thousand from AA before he started loading. Never had any issues.
