Anybody else shoot this and have massive fireballs coming out of a 1911??? I shot mag tech FMJ, and Winchester HP and didnt have this problem. Is it just the ammo??

I've shot this before and didn't notice anything. It shot pretty good also. I liked it.

its just something i noticed..and when i say fireball..i mean fireball..i could actually feel extra heat from the flame on my hand.

I have found PMC to be the dirtest ammo I have fired but I don't remember a fireball at all.

Really? I find it sqeaky clean in .45acp next to WWB.

 

Never any fireballs for me in 45 or 9mm.

Yes. A lot of soot around the muzzle and back over an inch and soot all over the breech area. It never caused a jam and cleaned up fine but it was dirty. I have seen numerous other posts in other forums commenting on how dirty PMC is. However, if "theRU" is getting fireballs and we did not, PMC may be change their recipe frequently.

PMC loads a tad hot typically, but have not had any issues. They do make some great brass to reload though.

I've gotten fireballs out of 9mm PMC. Not consistently tho. Seems to vary from box to box. Never really gave it much thought.. it's more of an interesting conversation topic ("Whoa dude - did you see the flames come out of the front of your gun!") than something to be overly concerned about.

 

As far as being dirty... The .223 is pretty dirty.. the 9mm, not as much. But I shoot a good amount of Wolf, so maybe my standards of dirty are different

My displeasure with PMC ammo is no secret, but yes I have gotten massive fireballs' from PMC bronze 9mm ammo. And as it has been said, it is dirty, dirty stuff.

I bought a few boxes of PMC Bronze 9mm when it was on sale, and it turned my P95 into a flame thrower. Fun for a few rounds, but it was indeed the filthiest ammo I've ever put through that gun. No mas.
