Finally got to shoot
- Thread starter Belt Fed
- Start date
you have a lot# for that box? i have some of that lying around.Here’s a few picks of my experience Saturday using Blazer ammo.… never again.
Same problem in two different S&W SD9’s, that in the past have always eaten ANYTHING I fed them.
Had to tap the bullets out of the chamber.
No damage to the guns. Swapped over to another brand on Sun afternoon and they ran perfectly.

Question, why does adding the compensator to my Hellcat cause it to shoot 3-4” below point of aim? I mean I understand the physics but what is the point of adding the device if it destroys the ability to aim?

I shoot a lot of 22 wmr. The following is from the Walther web site. I find if I stick to these recommendations for their WMP I'm golden all the way. This list is oriented towards semi-autos. With bolt actions or single shot I have found most branded ammo to be mostly reliable.
THE FOLLOWING AMMUNITION IS GOOD TO GO: Most 40gr JHP and FMJ’s from 1875-2200 FPS
CCI BRAND: (Most CCI is good to go)
- MaxiMag 40gr JHP and MaxiMag 40gr Target: WORKS BEST
- Every 40gr+: WORKS WELL
- 30gr Hollow Points: WORKS OK
FEDERAL BRAND:
- Most 40g, 45gr, and 50gr Federal worked well. (Including Champion and American Eagle)
- Speer Gold Dot 40gr: WORKS VERY WELL
HORNADY BRAND:
- Critical Defense 45gr: WORKS VERY WELL
NORMA BRAND:
- 40gr JHP Small Game Ammo: WORKS WELL
REMINGTON BRAND:
- 40gr PSP (*Was only Remington ammo tested): WORKS OK
FIOCCHI BRAND:
- Shooting Dynamics 40gr JHP: WORKS BEST

Your compensator directs gas up and forward of the muzzle. It reduces muzzle rise but will also change your point of impact due to redirected gasses and reduced muzzle flip and other factors. You will need to re-zero your pistol. With fixed sights you may need to change sights or at least change your hold point.

If you installed the compensator to reduce muzzle flip you shouldn't be too surprised, especially if you are getting tight groups. If you intend on leaving it on, just re-zero and you should be fine.

I hope you weren’t injured during your experiences with that crappy ammo.
I’ve only fired 22MAG through a Ruger Single action revolver. Never fired anything but Remington or Winchester brands. It’s just flat out fun to shoot and really accurate

Drat, I didn’t think of it Mike… got so ticked off, I tossed the box & remaining rounds so it would never get mixed with some loose (but good) stuff I had at home…
It was just one box I grabbed at LGS.

That’s Great Customer Support right there
My .22 Hornet splits the bill…works for me. Or my 25-20, although it sports iron sights.
