PMC S&W40 will not make major

[Happypillz]

I thought i would take the recently purchased pmc ammo to a match and chonoing turns out this ammo doesn make major. Huge discrepancies in load as well. Anywhere from 920 all the way up to 960. Ammo is sub standard. Now I know why its so cheap.

In witch pistol was it tested?

One guy at my range swears that PMC is an acronym for Poorly Made Crap lol. Too bad it doesn't chrono hot enough for you.

Dirty, light loads. I don't like the .45 at least.

 

[Donster 125]

I use it strictly as range, paper-punching ammo.

 

[gdawg]

as you say, it is cheap

Tanfoglio Match Gun was used.

Thanks, I'm wondering how this ammo will perform out of a 5.4" TS barrel...

The Match has a 5 inch barrel. I don't think .4 is going to give you that much more. The ammo is really inconsistent. I wouldn't risk taking this to a chrono match again.

I am assuming this is the 165 grain at 920 fps because a 180 grain at that makes major.

Nah, this is the 180gr. 920fps = 165.6 PF

You need 170 PF in Standard div. to make major.

Oh I thought they dropped it to 165 for major along with allowing .357 sig
