Buffalo Bore +p 115 grn ammo

Post by ranariz »

All: FYI Tried Buffalo Bore 115 gn Hard cast through my P64. magazine popped out every time I shot the weapon.
Have not tried 95gn +p yet. Anyone have experience/recommendation with good self defense ammo for 9X18Mak?

Supplemental: 115 +p BB ammo worked fine through my Bulgarian Mak and CZ 82

Welcome to the forum.

I had mags popping out using the Wolf 22lb recoil spring. Switched back to standard spring and no problems.

Ah Ha...great point I went to Wolf replacement spring, wisdom to tame recoil. I'll switch back and re-test.
Many thanks Curly1!

I keep Hornady XTP ammo for SD use. Shoots well and reliable. I don't know I'd use 115gr +P ammo in a 40 yr old surplus gun. But that's me....

If you have a PA63 don't use it in that one with the aluminum frame.
