WWB 9mm NATO Rounds,
I bought 4 boxes of this stuff, figure its a better range round than the WWB 115 grain stuff I've been using. I am thinking of buying more for the impeding zombie apocalypse. The man at the counter said these rounds should be able to go through a bunch of zombies with a single shot.
Seriously has any one shot this stuff much? I am pretty sure my Ruger 95 and the Beretta 92 can handle it just fine, after all the 92 was designed to to shoot this stuff. but I wonder if it it will tear up my Beretta Storm SC.
My thought when buying this ammo is that it should nearly represent my self defense ammo. While shooting the the Storm SC using the modest rounds I am noticing a bit of flip up from the recoil. I figure the new ammo might help me train a little more realistically.

Re: WWB 9mm NATO Rounds,
I picked them up at the Galveston Academy.

Re: WWB 9mm NATO Rounds,
The Winchester 9mm NATO rounds are my wifes favorite rounds to put through her PX4 Storm SC. They work perfectly fine for her - at first I let her know she might find them a bit hotter than the normal 115 grain stuff she was used to, but she quickly let me know she didn't really feel like there was much a difference. Only downside? They're too pricey in my area for a normal range round! At any rate, they'll be fine in your PX4 SC.

They are a bit pricey, at $13.95 for a box of 50 but, but considerably cheaper than expensive than my defensive rounds.

I purchased a couple boxes a while back from Academy when they were out of regular WWB Luger. My P89 ate them with zero issues.

The Beretta is rated for +P, which is 265.45 MPa (38,500 psi) piezo pressure.Liberty wrote:Seriously has any one shot this stuff much?

Standard 9x19mm is 241.32 MPa (35,001 psi) piezo pressure.
The 9mm NATO is 252 MPa (36,500 psi), so you should be fine.

Re: WWB 9mm NATO Rounds,
Cabela's (FtW) has them regularly for about $15. They shoot similar to 115 but with just a little more kick. After 100's of rounds, I've had no problems in a Ruger SR9C and Taurus PT92. That is just my untested wrist feeling, without the benefit of fancy-schmancy 'pizza' measurements.
