Wanted Looking for sub 1000fps 9mm

Qed · 02-08-2010, 10:46 AM

I have a great opportunity to join a fine club locally but cannot find the proper rounds for the indoor range. From what I understand, they have to be under 1000 fps and non jacketed? ?!?!

147 grain subsonics.....look 'em up.

Ooops, I just read the "no-jacketed" rule.
That rule pretty much forces you to reload your own.

FWIW, jacketed ammunition reduces airborne lead and smoke making it better for indoor use.

They need to review their rules.

Yeah, I have a message out to them for clarification so we shall see how it goes.

Yeah, that's really restrictive. Not sure how well that would cycle an autoloader. I've seen 1500 fps max at ranges but never 1000.

Dick's carries Ultramax 9mm LRN which lists at 1060fps. That's the only readily available lead 9mm I've found.
