Has anyone used Armscor 9mm ammo? Feedback.

I have never even heard of it. Though I have been handloading for a couple of years so I have not purchased much factory ammo.

 

[Aguila Blanca]

Yes. Pretty good stuff. I've used it in both 9mm and .45 ACP. Never had any bobbles. It tends to run a bit faster than Winchester USA.

Is it jacketed?

I got some all-lead 9MM Armscor for my Star MOD 30. It leaded my barrel so badly and so quickly that I was surprised it didn't blow up. I went away very impressed with the Star and extremely disgusted with the ammo. It took two sittings (3.5 hours total) of cleaning to get it all out.

I still have two boxes. Any offers?

The Armscor ammunition I have seen -- both first run and commercial reloads -- has all been FMJ.

 

[EdInk]

Yeah, it's FMJ 9mm in small white boxes. I don't recall if it said reloaded or anything on it. I just briefly look at it while at my LGS because they had it for $8.99 per box (50rd) and figured I would research it before buying some. If it's at least on par with Tula, then I would take a chance on it. IIRC it was 124gr, not that I'm that concerned about the weight for practice ammo.

I fired a 100 rounds of ARMSCOR yesterday afternoon through a 9mm BHP, seemed like decent ammo to me. Get it if its got a good price.

Good Practice Ammo

I have shot 38 Super and 38 Special from Armscor with no problems at all.
It's all been FMJ and clean.

Good ammo. Practice with it in my .45 and .40. Made in the P.I. I believe.

I've shot Armscor 124gr 9mm in my CZ-75 before and it wasn't noticeably better or worse than any other practice ammo like WWB, UMC, American Eagle, S&B, Fiocchi, or Blazer Brass. I'd buy it again if the price was right, but I wouldn't pay a premium for it over anything else.

i believe they are made by the same company who makes rock island armory.and armscor revolvers.

I bought 1/2 a case in 38 Super. The ammo performed great. FMJ + re-loadable. Shoots clean. I do not reload though. Always wanted to, but I hear it's expensive to get started.

Just curious if you found a deal on them somewhere.
I'd be willing to try them if the price is right.

I've got some Armscor .45 ACP 230 Ball for a T&E. When we have a calm day-- that isn't a downpour--I'll set up a chronograph, bench it for accuracy and write it all up.

I have shot some of it through a Rock Island GI, at targets of opportunity to about 50 yards. It runs slick and seems to be on par with any other 230 ball load.
