87GT Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is there anywhere that won't rape me on .380 prices or shipping? Checked Cabelas a week or so ago, none on the shelf Cabela's had a small amount yesterday when I was there but it was $19 a box and that was a sale price. NASR always has it in stock at $25 a box. Only place i've seen with decent prices is Freedom Munitions. I haven't bought 380 from that company but the .223 and 5.56 ran fine in my rifle. If you figure it out something better PM me please. I always need 380. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 What gun? M11, literally runs like a sewing machine on some ammo... And, won't even feed the 2nd round on other ammo (gun is open bolt). But mainly, usually nose-dives between the barrel and the feedramp if the first shot is from ammo that's not "hot" enough (which cannot push the bolt back far enough). The aftermarket upper's bolt weighs about 4x the stock upper's bolt. WWB = perfect Speer = perfect PMC won't feed Remington green box won't feed Remington UMC won't feed Herters won't feed American Eagle won't feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used the NATO Winchester in an MP5K and it's flawless. http://www.sgammo.com/product/winchester/50-round-box-9mm-nato-124-grain-fmj-winchester-mil-spec-ammo-q4318 https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100001634 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that NATO 9mm virtually the same thing? I'll never understand rifles that don't use a gas system, ugh.... As a result of some minor tweaking, the m11 does run perfectly now though... Where others still have issues with the aftermarket uppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjxlr8 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 The NATO spec is hotter than the "white box" that you find at Walmart, etc. The typical Winchester white box ammo is NOT hot ammo at all. It was fairly inconsistent and towards the low end of the 9mm ammo that I chronographed. The Magtech ammo was a little hotter and more consistent. Wolf ammo was hotter than both, but not as consistent. The NATO spec Winchester ammo is a bit hotter AND most importantly, it has arsenal primers designed for sub-guns. The commercial stuff is a bit risky in some military style firearms due to the 'softer' (more sensitive) primers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have bought some of those Sumbro 9mm ammo. It probably will run that m11 just fine. And it was pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard (literally) dozens of people tell me that WWB is hotter than stuff like PMC, Herters, and remington. I'm not saying it's +p. But it does cycle the gun while the other Amos I noted, did not cycle the gun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Damn, your m11 is a stubborn SOB.. lol The lage upper was designed around WWB. The stock m11 upper will run anything. Keep in mind, the lage bolt weighs 4-5x the stock bolt. Oh, PS- jixxer8, I'm running a lage 650rpm upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while and I can't remember what the velocities were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all counter-intuitive; A fast powder and heavier projectile produce less felt recoil than a slow powder and light projectile - but a fast powder imparts the whole force needed to unlock the barrel and run the slide back over the hammer at the beginning of the discharge, which is the hard part.

All im saying is that the PMC doesn't "allow" the bolt to go far enough back to ram the next round into the chamber. it nose-dives between the feedramp and the barrel EVERY TIME.

cybe Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 That's a pain in the ass for sure. Lighter recoil spring and/or new mag spring should help open up your ammo options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
