Stafford Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Looking for a factory ammo would work well for USPSA Limited Minor. I’ve shot S&B, Magtech and Fiocchi recently and didn’t see much difference. All were good. Pretty sure I’ve shot some WWB as well. I don’t think I’ve ran anything but 115 grain in this pistol. My guess is that most any factory ammo will work just fine. But, if a heavier grain would be more accurate or softer recoiling, I’d try to out.

dskinsler83 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Try the Federal Syntech with their heavy bullet. Its like a 150 grain. Feels good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovpilot337 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I use the Federal Syntech 150 grain in mine and they shoot very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ssanders224 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Precision Delta 147gr. Silly soft in a Shadow, and is an official ammo of USPSA. Check out the “MatchPacks”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using that in a Gen5 with the Marksman barrel? I would've bet good money that the long fat bullet would stick in the very short throat of that barrel. I've seen 135 Hornady FlexLocks stick in Gen5's.... Edited October 8, 2019 by Braxton1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the “MatchPacks”. This! Very good stuff! I think it comes out to $10.5 per box(50 rnds) shipped. You can't buy anything else for that price! I can verify it will work in a gen 5.

tha1000 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have a few cases of the Syntech 115 from the huge rebate thing that Federal did a couple years back.. That stuff is fairly spicy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have 2000 rounds through it with syntech 150's with no issues so far... knock on wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is truncated so it is not long, and it is no fatter than any other 9mm. OAL is 1.116 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
