9x19 FMJ Is All Ammo Created Equal? 

The artificial sweeteners in diet sodas are worse for you than regular sodas. Best to avoid soda, period.

As a certified dental assistant he disliked the soda comment lol

I prefer chocolate milk, thank you. :D

@@James_Bee I drink regular soda (very rarely anything with phosphoric acid, like Coke anymore), e.g. 7Up or other lemon-lime varieties, root beer or ginger ale (preferring Canada Dry BOLD when I can find it), or regular Gatorade Orange, sparingly, or Bubly.

Water is where it‘s at

Are you what we call a professional?

@@jameschristiansson3137 I guess you could call me one, because I hit my target 60% of the time, every time.

"Lack of hydration" Mr Harrell, need to hydrate

Yalls weird.

They do it right in the Czech Republic. Never had an issue with S&B, they duplicate the specs of older rounds well.

Seems that way. I use S&B and they seem way stronger than my own minimal handload. I wonder, is it safe to use with a silencer if the manual says not to use hotter ammo?

S&B is my go to range ammo. Been very happy with it

Same here, it is my preferred practice ammo in both the 124 and 115 grain versions. Also have had good results with the Norma red box 115.

@@karel3183 Probably not.

They really punch through wood ,I did a video on the 357 Sig lawman, 357 Sig TMJ

Sure it is

Lol. Paul going rogue. 🤣🤣🤣

Deer have an odd general habit of gravitating towards shooting. Maybe they think the noise is from antlers?

why on hunting you need to be silent and walk slowly if even shooting doesnt scare deers?

@@richardpashos Because they know to associate cracking leaves and branches with potential threats.

Nawwww, the deer in the area simple know that when Paul's behind the trigger, their safe until hunting season.

Wish someone had sent some Federal American Eagle as that's what I have the most of.

@@abc-wv4in Hold onto that stuff. By far the best fmj round for accuracy and practice purposes.

Green & White 124hp +P 9mm is what most of the firearms examiners carry in a very large and busy jurisdiction. Busy means lots of shootings/murder. Not stuff the the FBI gets its hands dirty on. Add: that's their personal choice for off-duty, not issue.

@@LuvBorderCollies -- Agreed. Retired Ranger, and 22 years a PSC. It's helped me and my team.

I got a 45 hi point carbine I got a bull pup kit for. Now the only 45 it fires without fail is rem UMC. Sad because before that it would've fed rocks and fired rocks

Would you miss an opportunity to see Paul in action? Those deer are lucky

He's lucky he doesn't shoot near a cow pasture. Those are the noisiest animals I've ever seen. Perhaps they are used to humans+noise=feeding time.

Paul is so badass the deer have learned over time from him and now come to see his presentations as they're filmed so they've got the latest information on the weapons and ammo their enemies will be using.

Paul is just grooming them for hunting season. He'll call them in with each shot he makes, and then pick the one he wants.

Paul: “This content will be a little dry.” Deer: “OH BOY!”

Yeah, cause I use the good stuff for hunting. Criminals get the cheap stuff, animals the expensive. Sounds fair.

unless he's on crack and the fmj bullet passes straight through him so he continues to attack you until he bleeds out

@@farklestaxbaum4945 Then shoot em twice.

@@somebloke3869 Due to the high cost of ammo there will be no warning shot and If can read this you are in range.

@@shawnr771 why only twice? Surely your magazine holds more than two rounds.

I think you mean "straightforward". Sorry, things like that just really bother me.

I skipped the chrono work, but stayed for the analysis. Then I watched the target shooting, because the accuracy of various ammunition is interesting.

Heck he needs to do a review of French 7 millimeter Long with Forgotten Weapons

We Americans seem to have problems with some pronunciations. One of my favorites is Lapua. The common pronunciation in the US is La pu ah, when it's actually Lop Wah.

Paul talks

But TED Talk yappers typically are not legitimately expert, while Paul Harrell is truly a legitimate expert. However, I understand your desire to have Paul more widely heard.

Audiobooks, too.

Heck I'd go to a Paul concert and I've never even heard him sing.

Ted talks seem to be for liberal weenies.

Yep. Paul shows his work. Easy enough to listen to the numbers and do the math ourselves if we are so inclined.

If I'm not mistaken, Blazer is a CCI product. I've found their products to be of above average quality. YMMV

It’s weird. Blazer Brass always jams in all my pistols. I always have failures to extract and the fired shells get stuck in the chambers. It takes significant effort to get them out. I’ve never had any other problems with any other brass cased, steel cased, or aluminum cased ammo.

@@leroyjenkins4811 That is ironic blazer has always been my go to

@@leroyjenkins4811 Got a new 9mm recently, first stuff I put through it was a couple boxes of aluminum blazer just to see how it would go. Cycled every round perfectly. Could very well be difference in firearms.

@@aquablue6301 Yeah there made by cci which means there 22cal rimfire ammo is probably loaded on the same machine as the 22. Stingers and Velocitiers and just packed in bulk and sold cheaper but there 9mm and 45auto is junk I find it to be the worst...

I can tell out of my P365 the 115 is a little hotter...

@ scuba - I just grabbed a case of the s+b to put through my Ruger PC9. Price was right, and I am glad to see it performs decently. Thanks for the boost.

@@roccofilippi1418 Any 116 gr seems to have more recoil or more snappy recoil than 124 or 147. I like 147gr in my subcompacts, usually Lawman or American Eagle. For SD HST 147.

The 115 I was referring to was the S&B. It is probably the hottest round of any brand I have shot in the same grain. I should have just said S&B within my comment.

I prefer the S&B 124 gr over PMC, Blazer, Fiochi, Magtech, and Norma. But I get whichever of them is cheapest when I need some.

Oh no they haven't. We need the meat targets of these ammos.

@@koltendavis4802 S&B for the win. And it's affordable.

OH, Paul does "nonsense" on the Halloween and Christmas specials and others, but we can tell it's going to be nonsense by the video title but I get what you mean

hahaha

Me too!!!

He knew.

Welcome to the firearm community!

Excited noises? That comment made me very uncomfortable and probably scare Paul to death

Aplastic?

Aplastic?

If I had to guess, the use of aplastic may be some sort of autocorrect error as it's definition refers to the failure of an organ or tissue to develop or to function normally, with the most common being Aplastic Anemia.

@@mattsmechanicalssi5833 now that's a rabbit hole I'd not expected

it might be useful for him to seperate the video out into sections or chapters like I do with the tetris videos on my channel, though it might be a little tedious considering the average length of a video on this channel

Sesame street eat your heart out. Your daughter will be memorizing ballistic charts like they were multiplication tables.

Your mom is a great product

@@9mmpeter255 Actually Aaron, if you think about it we both are the products of our mothers.

That's it, he's off the project.

You're gonna have that on these bigger jobs.

He actually can, but pretends not to so his fans don’t feel to bad.

You should watch some of his shotgun videos. Here it's just brand and bullet weight. They're all fmj. Shooting the right target with the right ammo might be a bigger concern here. I've seen it several times on other channels that they mess up the order or shoot the wrong target after they walked back.

@@danielaramburo7648 I feel bad every time he shoots. Makes me see how much I suck

true dat

I'm listening to this in the shower. Can't wait till I'm done.

@@davesomeone4059 That is a bit strange to be honest...

It does for me. His videos are the ones that I look forward to most from any platform/app

@@numberlover8181 Same here, best around for sure.

We don't lose sleep over all the different brands in our stash...as we shoot we try to shoot the stuff we don't like 1st to get rid of it, but it is going to take a while...i know the missus shot a dozen .38's today, all she said is she used the box on top (we keep our ready for range ammo out from our stash), and 50 .380 also got blown up...I've been encouraging her to go shoot whenever she wants to, but the heat has been harsh lately...she just texted that she was able to field strip the bersa, which is hard for her for whatever reason...she cleans guns with a religious fervor that would shame a lot of guys, yup, she's a keeper...😁

US sees the same expansion as well.

@@allalbavincero big corpos and warhawks = left wing ?

That kind of expansion sure causes some serious wounds.

@@kitosjek9541 Big Tech are Cultural Marxists to the core.

Actually expanding handgun ammunition does exist here in Canada; it's just hard to find due to a severe lack of demand (why would you want expanding handgun ammunition in country where you literally can't shoot it anywhere but a range? The logic behind most dealers.)

Huh?

@@9mmpeter255 usually Paul’s go to 9mm pistol is his Beretta 92. He even has a video on it being the last gun he would get rid of.

@@9mmpeter255 I think it's an end of times comment

Wasn't the M17 recently adopted by the military? So a bunch of people will be using them as their service pistol, as well as LEOs who can carry a personal firearm (as opposed to being issued one). And lets not forget civilians are going to want them because they want military style weapons.

@@rebelliousgrayfox It was a few years ago, now but yes. I'd say you're correct about that. Police and civilian trends tend to follow what the military is up to at the time. Oh and movies. Can't forget movies.

Nice.

😂 👍

We can see it in North Texas.

I like the Fiocchi and S&B also...a lot of folks for whatever reason think foreign manufactured ammo isn't any good, which is just plain crazy...foreign ammo has killed millions of foreigners over the years, and too many Americans...our experience is it goes bang reliably...

You can read the crono in the video?

@@depqua7905 I guess he could be lying about that, but I doubt it.

@@depqua7905 That's a good idea. I mean to keep things honest, he could have two cameras and the one with chrono could be on a split screen format, but then that gets complicated and then we'd have to have Paul showing us opening the boxes, showing us the headstamp, loading the magazine and then shooting it all in one take to eliminate any conceivable subterfuge. Some people might demand that in our low trust, low honesty world we're living in; the Empire of Lies...

Canadians are terrible at the hard C from the "cch" in Italian. I remember BCers saying "Mar-zot-chee" for Marzocchi back in the 90s/00s. They butcher "pasta" as well. Nice folks, clean cities, but terrible at foreign words. 😂

@@seanoneil277 I still love them Canadians! Hard not to!

It just cleared up today here in the 4 corners. Was just as bad as what you see there in ABQ.

We just drove from Idaho to New Mexico and had it there entire way…

Friday morning this wall of brown rolled into the Salt Lake Valley and made the place reek

@@Tadicuslegion78 It has been smoky as hell in Colorado too. It's so thick that it's hard to even see the mountains from the Denver metro area.

I live in Texas and we can see the haze.

@@avshockey6633 sure it’s not the Denver smog as well? I just read Denver had the worst air quality in the country. Either way we haven’t got the smoke yet here in the Colombia river gorge but if the winds shift a bit I’m sure we will again

I have a range where I go to and It has lots of old stoves and refrigerators. So much fun to shoot. Stay safe brother. (canada)

@@aksalaman4689 Gunblue 490 is a fine gentleman with a great teaching style, backed up by years of experience. He & Paul Harrell are the 2 best channels on firearms, IMHO.

@@willwilliam217 GF&G is a honeypot made by subversives. Their "God" is not what you probably assume or think.

I like RUAG, but I'm a little disappointed at their 9mm performance. Had good luck with the 7.62x39 though. I expect more out of the Germans 😊.

Lots of intentionally subsonic ammo is loaded to 950 or even less fps. It keeps the projectile out of the transonic range and makes sure if you have a gun with a tight chamber or longer barrel or any other variables that can bump the velocity the tiniest bit you still don't get the sonic crack. If you had subsonic ammo that was rated for 1075 fps there is enough variability of the atmosphere to get supersonic rounds at high elevation and even leaving the gun chambered with a hot barrel might be enough to kick it over. You get funny things that can happen to accuracy with transonic rounds. You'll see most subsonic special purpose firearms shoot way below even 1000fps even if the cartridge is capable. The 9x39 is an example of this. They shoot under 950fps with the military issue ammo. It keeps it quiet and accurate.

yeah none of these manufacturers are catering to "subsonic folks"

Id be interest in the American Eagle ammo ad well. I don't buy ammo often but every time I use it the group's are terrible. I've used it in 45 acp and 10mm only so not a huge variance in calibers
