Has anyone tried the Remington UMC Target nickel-plated brass ammo? Natchez has it on sale for $10/box of 124gr 9mm which is a pretty darn good deal to me! I placed an order for 1000 rounds. I figure this will work well through my Nano and Px4 and should help make PF in USPSA

I've used it before in my .45. It seems to run a little on the dirty side. But it goes bang, shoot reasonably well and if you can find it for a decent price... go for it!

If you buy it I want that brass.

There's no data on this on Remington's website, so making the PF is a crapshoot, at this point. Need a minimum of 1008 fps. If this is loaded just like their regular UMC, but with nickel cases, you should be GTG, but I'd like to see some data first.

 

j0n: Nickel looks neat but is harder on your dies and is shorter lived.

 

Adios,

Same here, I like it a lot though.

MINE!

Their website says (use the product comparison) 1100 FPS Muzzle velocity with the 124gr. 1145 FPS for the 115gr. Should make PF

That is the regular UMC ammo. Product number 23718. The target UMC product number is 24036. (Both of these are for 124 gr bullet weights). The 24036 is not even shown on Remington's product listing. You'll also note that Natchez is charging $1 more per box for the regular stuff as opposed to the target. I'd just like more info before I spend the bucks - besides, just ordered a case of Federal AE from sgammo.

Nick, could you provide a link. I looked all over the website and only found the regular stuff under product listings. Maybe better - just describe the path you used to get there.

 

From your chart, it appears to just be the same loading, but in nickel cases.

But it is shiny,
