    Is MaxxTech 9mm 115gr FMJ any good?

    Is MaxxTech 9mm 115gr FMJ any good? The box says made in Bosnia. Do I shoot these Bosnia ones first or stockpile them for later? Also got plenty various Federal Champion and Winchester white box 115gr in loose packs, I am thinking I should unload those first? Since the Bosnia stuff comes nicely in boxes with individual dividers. Thanks!

    Practically speaking, would think it prudent to sample each brand/batch to insure they go bang. Nicely stored is important, knowing what you have does what it is intended could be a higher priority.

      Be sure to function test ammo in off roster pistols that also need function test (>200rounds) to ensure that the guns work and are not lemons from the factory. You don’t want a reputation as a guy who sells factory defective pistols for full freight.

        I would recommend them.

        I bought 1K rounds years ago, and never had any issue.

        Much better than the steel case ammo.

          I never had any issues with it other than it was a bit dirty.

            I have never had problems with European made ammo. They are always loaded to NATO specs and feel full power when you shoot. In fact my favorite shoot for every use ammo is S&B (Sellier&Belloit).

            Like keith1911 said^^, some are Smokey and dirty but they go bang every time with full power.

              But then he has to sell the gun as a used gun, and not BNIB.

                I shot a lot of it out of my Croatian mfg XD9 pistol, shot just fine

                works well in any 9mm pistol Ive tried so far

                    Shoot the Bosnian stuff first. Save WWB and Federal. Nothing special about those, but I've been shooting them for years and know they work.

                      I've never had a problem with MaxxTech, but I don't know if I'd make a habit of using them if better stuff was available.

                        I've gone through a ton of it, still have a full untouched can. Runs just as good a S&B, I've never noticed a difference.

                          Bought a couple of boxes of this ammo this morning at my LGS. The 2 boxes I got were his last.

                          I'll give them a try next week.

                              No problems with a case of 9.
