I've heard rumors and read a few threads around here that the Paki stuff is loaded HOT. I'm 99% sure it was loaded to be shot in open bolt submachine guns. My 9mm is alloy framed so I'm going to pass on it.
I'd love to know what "exacting standards" it has been loaded to. Personally, you couldn't PAY me to shoot ammo from that part of the world; all the Paki and Indian stuff I've seen over the years has been utter crap, regardless of caliber.
I'm getting Precision Cartridge 9mm FMJ for right at $200/1K before tax. It's consistent, reloadable, non-corrosive, and made right here in Indiana. Plus, I'm buying it from an INGO Site Advertiser - supporting those who support us. The Paki stuff from SG might be a little less expensive, but it's far from being a "better deal," IMO.
I purchased 250 rounds of the cheap pakastani ammo from the sportsman's guide (love that place) and just came back from the range. Out of 100 rds 37 failed to fire! Don't buy that stuff. Just an FYI.
Rural King here in Terre Haute bought several cases of this stuff, and is selling it for $12./box, same price as their pmc ammo. a couple of days after it went on sale they posted a big sign stating "no refunds or exchanges on ammo". I don't think I'll be trying any of it.
Corrosive? Non-reloadable? "This Ammunition has been loaded with hard primers and may not fire out of pistols" No, thanks. I wouldn't even stock this for SHTF purposes.
