Beretta CX4 NR and running regular copper plated 9mm 124gr ammo - any issues...

[frogger]

I have a Beretta CX4 NR and am wondering if anybody has and any issues running regular copper plated bullets - specifically a Berry RN 9mm 124gr regular plated. From what I understand this bullet is advertised as being able to handle a muzzle velocity of 1200 FPS without and plate separation and I assume the CX4 would exceed this (although I do not have a Chrono so have not measured mine). So just wondering is anybody has had any experience with plate separation, key holing, or accuracy issues with a regular copper plated 9mm 124 gr bullet being shot through a Beretta CX4 NR.

Tks..

Can't see any possible problems. I use Hornady Critical Defence 147g (hollow point) and never a problem. It's a hole shot repeatedly.

No issues whatsoever. I usually shoot 115gr or 124gr FMJ, and have tried several brands (CCI Clazer, Federal Am Eagle, Winchester white box, Geco) and have not ever seen one keyhole out of 2200 rounds at 50m.

Accuracy issues? It all depends on the ammo, and remember that this is a pistol round, not intended for shooting at 100m in the first place. See the Cx4 thread for some range reports I did. Good ammo does 2-3 MOA, cheap ammo does 4-6 MOA.

I shoot plated and cast bullets out of CX-4 with no issues. It actually shoots cast bullets really well, so that is about 95% of what i shoot out of my CX-4.

no problems whatsoever.

In fact, it seems to like the 115grn jacketed bullets. much less drop at 200 than I would have thought.
