German MEN9B

Anybody tried this stuff? I just ordered another case from SG Ammo after firing a few boxes. Looks like it's not true NATO spec, but it is sealed and is about the cleanest looking and shooting stuff I've come across at this price point. Pretty sure it's the same stuff (or the same manufacturer) as MagTech 124 FMJ, though I cannot confirm as I have no MagTech on hand.

Why do you say it's not NATO spec?

Hopefully they will have it in stock for a long time so I can buy some later this year.

There's no NATO cross on the brass. Also several guys have chronographed it and it's not 1180 fps. At least not in the tests I've seen.

Ah, thanks. I might buy a bit at some point and try it out but will hold off on a massive purchase until I see if I like it or not.

Yeah I mean don't get me wrong. I think it's about the nicest ammo I've shot in a long time. Nice enough to pay a few bucks more for another case of it over the Aguila 124. I'd imagine you'd be happy with it...

I just haven't been able to find a whole lot of info online about it.

Might be NATO spec , but for either commercial market or sale to a non-NATO country. I had cases of MEN 7.62 ammo made for Australia & New Zealand , which are not NATO members.
