This is an interesting case...

I would check the bullet size with a micrometer and also check your barrel to see if you have some fitting problems... Also check rounds and compaire the QC they have going...

If it recoiling noticable sharper than should be expected - it may be overheated and an unsafe load. Look at the firing pin marks on the primer... that will be an indicator, along with the ejection marks. Look for signs of overpressure. If there is not - This may be SMG fodder like you guessed. Got a Chrony? That would be interesting to measure... And I bet would work great out of a HK USP!

If its a well used gun - Is the barrel shot out? Maybe you have some serious fouling that you cant see when you just look down the tube... Not to question your hygene...

Is the gun shooting like this with only this perticular ammo?
