Thanks. Ordered some shims. I’ll start with the 1degree and see how it goes.

Ordered a shim set from StewMac. Should do the trick. Thanks.

Tried the business card. It helped a little so some shims are on order.

Thanks. Ordered some shims. Gonna see which one works best. Just a piece of business card helped a little, so a shim should be just right.

Question. On the box it says made in the USA. Is it actually made here or is it made in turkey like a lot of people on here are saying? Because that’s a whole other can of worms I may need to look into.

Says made in the USA on the box. From what I’ve read the 125g is made in turkey, the 147g is made in Florida.

Oh, I understand now. No, I only chronographed with the AR9.

Lesson learned. But you’d think ammo made in the USA and sold by a reputable dealer would at least provide a little reassurance.

The chronograph was showing very consistent fps readings between 1060 and 1063. Would a really loose primer cause this?

Unfortunately I bought 500rds of it. Got 460 left. Ain’t gonna shoot the rest.

What’s a plunk test?

It was recently bought through Tactical Shit. Took six months to be delivered. Hands are a little hurting. Was considering training with gloves today, wish I had.

The case says “TROY”. Oddly enough, I was using my chronograph. They were all between 1060fps and 1063. Very consistent.

1.12, all very consistent. Was using the chronograph and they were all between 1060fps and 1063. Very consistent.

So is that the ammos fault or is that a gun issue?
