Not sure why but my CZ75 is doing terrible with wartak ammo, I get about 4/10 shots on paper and the group is like 6 inchs at best. The rest are off paper, Its unbelievable. I also experienced my first 3 stovepipes/Jams EVER with it in just under 50 rounds, In the CZ and CX4.

It seen to fair abit better in the CX4 storm accuracy wise but still LARGE groups at 25 yards.

Usually I use Remington or CCI but I got the wartak for a good deal from a sponsor and am wondering if this is a normal occurrence, abit disappointed and don't really understand the cause of variance. Could this be due to it being reloads? Grain weights? Ext, of certain rounds...
 
It's junk,never buy it again.

I've wasted a huge chunk of change buying five boxes at once and every box had issues so now I have five opened boxes of junk to dispose of
 
Innacurate ammo, I suspect uneven charges. I had multiple failure to fire and stove pipe with 3 boxes that I bought to try...

Waste of money, will never buy again OR recommend it to anyone
 
I've only bought one bulk pack...no ftf's but really inconsistent and terrible accuracy. We ran a few mags through a chrony and the muzzle velocities were all over the map. Poor quality control for sure.
 
Not wartak but a similar performance from a remanufactured ammo. I suspect not enough or uneven powder.
 
i had bought some Wartak first 200 rds were ok,, had a few issues but i wrote it off to a new gun.
Walther PPX.
i went to a course in Regina, bought 1000 rds there from the gun club. nothing but grief was great for practice.. lots of fail to feed, fail to eject,
even had some fail to go into battery, and when pulled slide back had the case come out and lodge the billet in the barrel.
when i got home i checked what i had left.. found lots that the crimp was poor and the OAL was all over the place..

tried some thru my Biakal Viking 446 and had no issues at all .. even some rounds that the PPX would not load it went thru like a trooper..
guess those Russians want to make sure their guns go bang all the time no matter what ammo you feed it..
lol
wrote to Wartak and asked about their issues,, had lot # and such... they asked a few questions but never heard anything back from them..

My brother is in the Army, said they sent back tonns of it as was nothing but garbage... they were supposed to have invested in newer and better equipment..

I highly doubt the army is using Wartak garbage for ammo
 
I shot it, had issues, so I shot Remington 9mm 115gr and had issues, so i shot Remington 124 gr and it tightened a bit still horrible. I'm more accurate with 500 S&W. I blame my gun over the ammo as it was equally bad as Remington's umc 115gr .
 
Wow, I never expected this much negative feedback. Glad I never bought 4 cases like I planned and stuck to CCI/Rem.

Going to be more carfull when buying 9mm. Its noting like 7.62 were you can grab just about anything,
 
I like everything about my Shadow but the accuracy..its mediocre at 10m and unimpressive at 25m, so I went out and bought many different manufacturers and weights and bench shot 25m groups several times. While the Shadow isn't spectacular (vs. 25years of shooting other semis including other CZs) it certainly tightened up as the $$ value increased.

It's reliable with anything but remanufactured are the worst of the groups, AE shot the best, Blazers in the middle. In a cost/reliability/accuracy evaluation the low-recoil from FOC has been giving me the best combination of all three. I have found no ammo that will make my Shadow match the performance of my beat up zillion-round year one CZ75.
 
I've put 220 rounds of it through my CZ 75B. Haven't noticed any accuracy issues, had a couple failures to feed but the gun was very dirty at the time. Admittedly that sample size is very small and that is only from 2 different boxes so maybe I got lucky and got a good batch.

We had it at our club for a while. It's horrible. All over the place. Nasty.
 
X whatever amount.

Tried Warcrap ammo with buddies SP-01 Shadow and groups were super crappy.

Worst 9mm ammo we have ever seen, I'll try and get any remaining off of him and see what the different powder charges scale in at.
 
Makes sense. Was shooting some chicks brand new shadow 2 at the range after clearing a jam. I'm sure I missed the paper a few times from 12 yards.

Was wartak.
