Masterblaster,

I shoot 1,000's of the PMP and Sellier and Bellot rounds with no problems. J&G sales has it for $148.50 per 1000, which is a pretty good deal. They only have it in 55 grn, which is no problem for 1x9 twist barrels.

As far as the Russian ammo, I have seen a few problems with the steel cases, as far as the dimensions and laquer. If you must buy Russian ammo, the "Wolf" brand seems to be the best. They are at least copper jacketed lead bullets, which are much easier on your bore than copper jacketed steel bullets, which ar e common on Russian rounds. They will wear on your extractor, but it's a pretty cheap part to replace if needed.

Good luck and enjoy!
