cheby Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Thinking of getting some. Has anybody had any experience with this ammo? Accuracy? PF out of Shadow 2 or X5? How hard are the primers? Any light strikes? https://www.killoughshootingsports.com/ Edited June 7, 2023 by cheby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard are the primers? Any light strikes? https://www.killoughshootingsports.com/ I use their 38 SC ammo and recently tried their ShellShok 9mm 124 grain loads. They were reliable in my CZ Shadow 2 and came in at an average 136 pf. For the CO Nationals I’m going with another company. 9mm 124 grain minor loads.

PA_USPSA Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I tried the Eley Minor 9mm 124 grain competition ammo in my Accushadow 2 but it didn't pass the plunk test (barely). It would make the plunk sound when I dropped it into the chamber but would not fall freely when I inverted the barrel. The bullet was just barely touching the rifling. I shot the 100 rounds I purchased with no issues but didn't buy anymore. I'm now using Precision One 9mm 124 grain competition ammo ( 9mm 124gr FMJ (REMANUFACTURED) COMPETITION - Precision ONe Ammunition ). It plunks and freely falls when the barrel is inverted.

I should’ve gotten Eley ammunition, the other brand I got was a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t an ammo issue it’s a known shadow 2 issue with a short throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had many failures to fire and most fired on a second trigger pull and a few never fired. 42 out of 1,000 failed the case gauge. There were no indications of high primers tho so it may be the primers they are using. PM sent. And they do have nice stickers.

I’m sure the company would also like to know… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
