GR meaning Geco/Ruag makes sense KansasSasquatch since GR isn't a brand as far as I could find. The Ruag concern (of which Geco is a part) produces a lot of military and law enforcement ammunition and we regularly see contract-runover, surplus and out-of-spec ammunition from them. And as you...

Thanks for all the input! Exactly as Walkalong says, I have plenty of time but little money. I already factored in the cost for adding my own powder but even then it is still much cheaper than factory ammo. Factory 9mm is around 200 Euro and this stuff with powder cost included would put me...

Does anyone know anything about GR 9mm ammo? I can't find anything on the web about this ammo. What I what to know in particular is if the primers contain a lot of duds or if they are as reliable as any mayor brand. A store near me is selling this ammo...

Thanks for all the information and advice people, it's much appreciated! Of course my maximum c.o.l. is determined by my pistol (I know the procedure to determine this) but knowing what c.o.l. Hornady factory ammunition and you people are using gives me a good impression of what sort of c.o.l...

I have used the search function and google but have come up with mostly old threads and incomplete info so I hope you can help me. I will be reloading 9mm Luger with Vihtavuori N340 powder and Hornady 124gr XTP bullets. These are intended for self defence, so I would like to run them as...

No, Vihtavuori is (since a couple of months) owned by Lapua (Nammo Group, Finland). They might be distributed by Hodgden in the USA though, but that's nothing more than a guess.

Thanks for the reloading tips Mad Chemist and Edarnold. I like Vihtavuori a lot and have both N320 and N340 so I should have plenty of load development to do once the rest of the reloading components arrive. Continuing on the seating depth issue described by Mad Chemist and Edarnold; I am...

Again, thanks for all the advice people! It is much appreciated! ArchAngelCD: I must have read over the S&B description of their JHP, thanks for pointing that out. Jim: Chrono's are about 150-200 dollars here, and I'm not willing to spend that much since I've never needed one and 90% of the...

Haha! Good observation, and strange that I missed such an obvious thing. No that's just my keyboard, I spilled some sugar-loaded drink on it a few weeks back and some keys are still sticking, my arrow keys still won't move a bit. I can assure you we all spell "three" with an "h" here :) When we...

You raise a valid point ljnowell, I think I'll drop increasing or reducing charges when making Mexican match all together. Thanks for the insight. Here are the listed velocities of the available factory JHP ammunition. All velocities are for a 4" barrel. Geco 115 JHP: 1137 fps...

Thanks for all the advice! It sounds like factory JHP or full reloads are my best option. A lot of good points were made about Mexican match, it seems that it would be more trouble than it's worth. With to much work and variables involved I'm definitely dropping this option. Sorry if the...

Personal defence 9mm ammunition is completely unavailable here. However, reloading components and standard 9mm ammo are plentiful. As I see it I have tree options: 1: Buy factory JHP target ammunition. 2: Make Mexican match with standard factory FMJ ammo. 3: Reload from scratch with...

What surprises me is that the AE line is promoted as a budget plinking line, but it is often priced slightly higher than the Champion. Also, from what I have read so far on fora, the American Eagle's seem to perform just as well or better for some people. I'm primarily interested in the...

As the title states; is there a difference between American Eagle and Federal Champion HV? http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/rimfire.aspx?id=92 http://www.federalpremium.com/products/details/rimfire.aspx?id=43 Both 1240 fps, both LRN bullet, same specs all around. What I...

Splitting up the rounds in it's components first would probably be the best option if I wanted to remove the primer. Thanks for thinking along everyone! It's always good to hear fresh and interesting ideas. Judging from the reactions I don't think there is a safe way to de-prime...

Is it possible to change out the primer of (corrosive) surplus ammo (for a non-corrosive one)? Oke, before I start, I think this is a stupid and potentially very dangerous idea. I have no intention of even trying it at this point, but I thought this would be an interesting question to discus...

Nobody? I'll just put it up for sale then.

I have some parts that I was going to use for an M40 build project. I bought them years ago but I haven't yet had the time to build one and they have just been sitting in my safe. We can only own 5 firearms here in the Netherlands and I have no intention to sell the ones I have now, so I will...

Seems like this is a phrase only used here. Thanks for thinking along guys! I think some of you could be right about it's origin being military and it's connection to Yugoslavia's unfortunate history. Our shooting club's gunsmith is from former Yugoslavia, he knows the phrase but has no clue...

I have heard the phrase "Yugoslavian unloading" many times, but wonder where it comes from and if many other shooters use it. "Yugoslavian unloading" means when you are finished shooting but still have rounds in your magazine, instead of removing the magazine and emptying the chamber, you...
