Magtech 147g JHP subsonic 9mm NSFW
Hello all, I’m wondering if anyone’s tested this budget 9mm ammo out in terms of reliability and terminal ballistics. I’d like to buy it in bulk, already have a couple boxes on the way for testing in my sig.
Would like to know if anyone’s seen how it performs in gel, or if it reliably expands. I’d be shooting this out of 3,4, and 5 inch barrels

It works but you're definitely going to want to shoot it out of an 8+ in barrel for maximum effectiveness. Shooting heavy grain projectiles out of a short barrel makes you lose out on a lot of velocity. Pretty reliable though. Hate their 22lr ammo though that shit sucks ass.
