Just curious if anyone here has done the hard work in finding out what works best in their Steyr-M9 (most accurate)?

Thanks

I've tried WWB,AE,1950's german sur plus and black hills 115gr GD +P's.
All of the fmj's grouped 2-3" at 15 yards,offhand on a windy day.All shot POA with no failures.The best group was the black hills which nailed a 1.25" group at 15 yards.
This was the first time i fired my M-9 and it was a very brisk cross
wind i was fighting so i'am pretty happy with these groups.

Federal 9BP shoots well out of the M9 and most other guns.

Where did you come across German 1950s 9mm surplus ammo?

I found this stuff at a local shop,it was a a ammo can filled with various boxes of ammo.I checked the headstamp on a site i came across online.They came in a plain brown box with no markings,i think it was repackaged at some point as the boxes are in very good condition.The headstamp is MM 6 43 the brass is dark,primer is crimped in place and it a fmj bullet.It seems to shhot fine except it's dirty.
