I thought Ew was supposed to be an abbreviation or something.AZ1182 said:Gross. Disgusting. It means that they chose one of the weakest and inconsistent ammo maker's munitions because most likely, because anything more or at SAAMI spec would over time damage the gun or making it unreliable.Ballistic Therapy said:OK , I give.
What is " Ew " supposed to mean ?

AZ1182 said:Something about the aluminum cased ammo, it doesn't take much for it to set itself back. I found that out a few times after driving to or from the forest. Went to load some mags and was miffed that my 9x19 new pronoun was now 9mm Nuclear, and my .45 ACP range fodder changed it's name to .45 Super-Super Major. Everything got pulled and what was left back home was traded for either brass cased Magtech or steel cased Brown Bear.rockbronco said:AZ1182 said:Gross. Disgusting.

I have one of these and just ran some tula through it, not thoroughly impressed. Very inconsistent with obvious low powder charges. Only 1 stove pipe in 300rds or so but everything went bang. I did worry about squibs and was using caution on rate of fire just in case. I had just had to dig on out of a friends shield a couple weeks prior(not tula but off name brass cased round). Quality brass cased ammo ran awesome through the EP9 however.
I will more then likely switch to wolf or stick to brass. The EP9 does not seem to have issues with brass cased or regular commercial ammo. Just no +P. or aluminum cases. Have a friend that has shoot thousands of rounds through one without any issues or excessive wear from quality commercial ammo. But its a range toy and hella fun. Its not a self defense tool I need to rely on so I can deal with the occasional shitty round.
So to answer the steel cased question in my experience wolf has worked well when on rare occasion Ive used it. I Believe it to be slightly harder on equipment just with it being a harder case over brass but I have had no ill effects from using it on occasion but I wouldn't want to make it a main diet for my rifles.
I have no intentions of ever getting that EP9, never did before and most certainly will not now. But I just wanted to point out that the bulk of my 9x19 is Winchester 9mm NATO which is warmer than standard 9x19 SAAMI. My G17, VP9, and Sig 320C all shoot like lasers using 9mm NATO. Any gun that can't handle it cannot be in my collection.
