PMC Bronze ammo issues

[iachadk1]

Hey guys,
Just wanted to check if anyone else has had problems with PMC bronze ammo. I was shooting this weekend a variety of 9mm handguns- Glock 17, Glock 19, Sig P229, and Beretta 92. I had 115 gr FMJ PMC Bronze and I had issues with each gun- failure to eject, failure to feed, bolt not held open by last round. Has anyone else had issues with this ammo? I count myself lucky as this is the only time I had ammo cause these issues with any of my guns. At first I thought they needed a little lube as I am not good about cleaning but it continued to happen even after that and with each gun I used. Please let me know if this has happened to you with this or any other ammo.
Thank you,
Chad

Funny you mentioned this. I bought a couple boxes of PMC 9mm on sale at Sharpshooters and had multiple failures to feed and eject on one of my Hi Powers. I never had a problem with any other ammo on this pistol.

Can you shoot it over a chronograph to see if it is up to spec?

North American Arms warns against using PMC ammo in their revolvers.
Apparently concerns of adjacent rounds set off when chambered round fired.
Which can't be good for any revolver...or hand.

Thanks for the report

It is low cost ammo, but hardly crap as characterized above. It could be a bad batch...there is a batch number somewhere inside or on the box. Why not contact them with your concerns. They may well ask you to send them a few rounds for evaluation or offer a refund...exchange, etc.

Likely manufactured on a Friday or Monday!

I’ve never had an issue with PMC ammo.

Never had an issue either. And it’s hardly crap ammo. Sure it’s cheap but I’ve run over 3k rounds of the stuff in a G19.
