Title: 124gr practice ammo
Post by: alzo on May 11, 2004, 04:31:24 PM

I was wondering if any of you have a recommendation for 124gr practice ammo. I checked the FAQ here, but the indoor range I go to will not allow the GECO ammo. I also can't seem to find anyone online who carries the 124gr Sellier & Bellot.
           
            Several places carry the 124gr rounds from American Eagle and UMC, and the 123gr from Fiocchi. The Fiocchi seems awfully "hot" by comparison to the others (I'm surprised it's not rated +P).
           
            I'm looking for the 124gr because I have heard (here and elsewhere) that the CZ75's tend to be more accurate with this weight than with 115gr.

Federal American Eagle 124 grn 9mm has been the most consistantly accurate ammunition you will get at a reasonable price, in my experience. If I have to use factory ammo, that is my preference.  The UMC is OK.  Have not seen any S&B 124 grn for sale in quite some time.  Kind of wonder if that has been diverted to the Czech Military at this time.

I've found the Magtech 124gr. FMJ to be unsurpassed for accuracy and reliability in my 75BD, and I concur that in general 124gr is more accurate than 115gr.  Proload Ammunition in Idaho stocks the Magtech 124gr and ships it to Calif. for about $130/cs. total.
