slugshooter Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Went to the range earlier this week, normally I buy a box of Winchester 9 mm target loads cause I don't want to pay the gun store prices for ammo, anyhoo, for one reason or another I couldn't get to Wally World beforehand so I bought a box of PMC ammo to go with the box of Winchester hollow points. My question is this, when I was shooting the PMC's I noticed a considerable muzzle flash, to the point that while aiming the gun it looked like the flame was coming out the sides of the gun. While my fiance was shooting I stood back and to the side and watched the flare up come out 6 inches from the end of the barrel. Is this normal for PMC ammo, I haven't noticed it on any other type of ammo and it is a little unnerving when you aren't used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParrotHead Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: PMC Ammo I've noticed the same thing slug when I've shot PMC ammo - I think it's just the powder they use. Start reloading and you won't have these things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugshooter Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Re: PMC Ammo I've thought about reloading but I don't really shoot enough to make it economical, I thought about reloading shotshells but I was looking at stuff in catalogs and it doesn't really seem like a money saver, maybe in the long run it is I guess.

hangunnr Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Re: PMC Ammo Can't say whether or not this a common trait inherent to PMC ammo. The .45 match loads I've had did not exhibit this. PMC offers some really outstanding match ammo for the .22 lr and .45acp. I haven't shot any other calibers though I would suspect them to supply a decent quality load. Question is, How did it group out of your gun? hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
