NATO 124gr 9mm

**IronButt** · October 13th, 2018, 10:10 AM

I don't know if this has been posted, but PSA has NATO 9mm 124gr ammo for $180/1000 shipped. I reload but it hardly seems worth the time with prices like that for practice ammo. I checked the reviews on a few other forums & everybody says it's a little more snappy than WWB, but nobody has seemed to have any problems with it, as far as functioning goes. I ordered a thousand. If I like it I'm ordering more.

Functionally it is fine. Warmer than wwb, but the downside is that all of the brass casings are crimped.
Swaging 9mm primer pockets is a waste of time in my opinion.
I can still reload for 12 cents a round for 9mm, plus the enjoyment of reloading, makes it worth every penny saved

Hotter load and should have a sealed primer for longer storage. I’ve never used Winchester’s nato but have a lot of the German MEN on hand and it’s excellent stuff that’s never failed in any of my 9mm hand guns or carbines.

I've been buying 9 (115/124) vs reloading too. I only reload 147 plated round nose and Hornady XTP.

I shoot M882 at the Navy matches, I might get some to practice with.

WWB is so cheap, plus the occasional good internet deal, I haven't reloaded 9mm in about 2 years. I'll reload for 357, 44 and 45 though.

Target Sports USA has some brands down to .17 a round shipped if you buy by the case.

Ever since I switched to 147 grain bullets I'll never look back at a 125 or 115 9mm. What a difference. If you reload take a look at making a few.

Absolutely. I never thought bullet weight mattered until I shot 147's. I couldn't tell the difference between 115 and 124, but it's noticeably softer shooting 147. I can still load them for around $6/box. That's 30% less than you guys are buying "cheap" loaded ammo. I guess it depends how much you shoot. It saves me about $600 a year loading my own and I can customize it to my guns. I'll pass.
