Win 9mm Target / S&B FMJ 124gr

[afterimages]

I wish I had done a more scientific experiment this morning at the range.

I have Sellier & Bellot 124gr FMJ and Winchester 115gr FMJ (100 in white box from WalMart). I think I was getting better accuracy with the S&B. That is, the groups with the Win seemed bigger. I know I need to do a better study, but...

Does this ring true with anybody else?

BTW, are the Win's what are referred to as WWB? The part number is USA9MMVP.

Thanks...

Be careful!! That S&B ammo is loaded to Hot CIP spec. It is rated 11 fps faster than Federal 124 grain +P+ Hydrashoks!

Other than that I will stoke my mags with that ammo when I want NATO M882 like performance from my 9mm without paying the extra $$ for the ink needed to print +P+ or NATO ball on the box.

What more could you ask for, accuracy, power and reliability.

What are you shooting it from?

Shooting with Glock 19.

What is 'Hot CIP spec'?

[Boris Bush]

CIP is the European "SAAMI". They do not have +P or +P+ loads for anything, just one set standard.

9mm CIP standard psi is 39,200 psi. Most people do not realize all of our 9mm ammo is way sub original spec and get suckered into believing +P or whatever is some how better. Nope it is just normal 9mm, what it should be loaded to. Europeans differ from us in that they are not afraid to factory load real ammo.

I use a G19 also, great gun. When the wife gets home I am going out to shoot some WWB abd S&B 124..........

I have always had good luck w/ S&B. It was mostly in 115gr, not 124gr, in the 9mm.
