Any TSE members shooting 124gr. FMJ Ruag 9mm? What are your thoughts/experiences? The price is right, but I don't want to end up with a frustrating range session due to lower quality ammo. I just bought my Glock gen 3 OD yesterday at TSE and that will be the 9mm pistol that I will be feeding.Thanks.
 
I've used about 750 rounds of it through my P226, haven't had a hiccup yet. Doesn't seem to be a 'light' load by any means, though definitely not 9mm NATO hot!
 
I used some and it was ok but watch out some batches had steel core and it wasn't written on the box...

*I didn't get mine from TSE but you might never know!
 
I have fired it through many different pistols at this point. Glock,Sig,CZ and even a Norinco NP-17 with zero function issues.
 
I love this stuff flooding our Canadian Market. I hope it never runs dry.
Geco/Ruag is the stuff SIG uses when testfiring its guns.

124gr 9mm FMJ, flawless operation, great price.

Got a case for $250 last week in Vancouver. Haven't tried it yet so it's good to see the positive reports. Mind you, it's not like my old Glock 17 is picky.

I want to try a case of their .223 (RUAG GP 90) but I haven't seen it available in Vancouver yet.
 
these are not bad for shooting. But i did notice when trying to reload the cases, when depriming, there is always a batch that would not deprime properly, the primer would just bulge and not pop out yet another back from the same case will deprime no problem, not a big deal but just more or an annoyance. Might just have to seat the depriming pin to travel deeper.

They are likely crimped in...

thats what i was gonna ask actually has anyone tried reloading this brass... was about to buy some of the ammo to take a buddy shooting but looking at the brass reminded me of S&B brass, and i know those are a PITA cause you have to swage the primer pocket.
 
These are not steel core they have steel in the jacket. I tore one a part and the jacket jumps to the magnet, the core it lead. They hit like and sob, over 6 gr of powder weighed on my scale, and lost a bit when taking it apart. Not super accurate in a sig match pistol, but fun cheap ammo in any case, for the price I recommend buying it. had 3 cases, sold two as getting out of 9mms'
