Federal American Eagle 9mm

[Siditters]

Are these shells alright. The ones I'm looking at are 115 grain in fmj and are 500 in a box.

I shoot the 115 FMJ in 50 box and they work good but not as good as Fiocchi but still work well

They work out .30 cents each and they throw in an ammo box so I think I'll pick them up.

My wife is shooting American Eagle 124 gr and 147 gr. Of the two, she and the gun prefer the latter. Very clean burning stuff. Buy all you can get.

AE is very good ammo IMO

What is it about the 147 thats better? What model of gun?

The 147 has a longer profile resulting in more stability. Probably won't change the groupings at short distances but out to 50 yards you'll see a difference.

Recoil for the 147 gr is more of a push than being "snappy" as in the 124 or 115 gr, basically feels like less kick. The main reason is because the 147 gr is a slower bullet than the other 2.

My Russian Viking shoots (by various operators) 147gr dead on at 25 meters while 115gr bullets drop by about 6". According to a ballistic data should be the other way around. I'm puzzled.

Thanks, I learned something.

You mean the 147 gr is a slower bullet.

Heavier bullets tend to have a longer 'dwell time' in the barrel, hence the higher grouping.

Ahhh. I use 124 and noticed that.

PS. really like Fed AE ammo

Typo...I changed it. Thanks

Their 40 cal. version jams my Glock on a regular basis. Almost finished with this ammo finally!!

 

[john92awd]

Thanks. Now im curious to try some 147

 

[Dr.K]

I'm amazed you can feel the difference. I shoot mostly AE 147 gr through my sig p226. But 115 gr is often easier to find, so I shoot that on occasion too. I really can't feel the difference.

That's what the box says. I think is something like 100fps less. If somebody is really curious I could look. But I'm too lazy to get off the couch and look in the safe right now.
