Santa Barbara Ammo

I ordered 1k each of S B 124 & 147 tc fmj from AIM.

The 124 fmj have a Nato stamp and ran perfectley in my Uzi and gave a recoil impulse same as Wolf. 100 rounds fired on full without and problems or cycle rate change.

The 147 truncated cones are SOFT LEAD semi-wad cutters with THIN PLATING ! They would not fit into cartridge gauge but would my 2 Uzi barrels laying in parts box. I had 6 missfires out of 100 and when it ran the cycle rate and recoil impulse was all over the place !

At $100 a thousand the SB 124 would be a good alternative to Wolf ( if you don't like steel cases ). Wolf= $80 (Knob Creek ) SB = $108 delivered to Mi

Thanks for the report

In a pistol, most would probably never tell the difference.

The Greek 9mm I had did the same thing, very erratic. All fired, but noticeable velocity changes, round to round.
