Shattered Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Does anyone have any idea what some old Egyptian 9 mm ammo would be worth? I know it's corrosive, 115 gr fmj, 36 rounds boxes etc. Haven't been able to find any info at all. Shattered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumpy Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I paid 160 per 1000 rnds of it recently it has harder primers so most hand guns dont run it. Also think it’s supposed to be plus p plus ammo. It’s very inconsistent and when shooting the uzi you can hear the rate of fire go up and down. At least the ammo I have just so inconsistent it’s hard to shoot honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shattered Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yeah. I remember that, it sometimes also split. I have so much regular 9mm that I’m gonna try to off the Egyptian stuff. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHJ Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I have a few boxes left from a buy I made back in the 80's. Everyone is spot on about primers, inconsistencies and they are very hot loads. Shooting a sub gun years ago I had a squib then a hot load right behind it. Lucky it only cost me a new barrel. I won't shoot the stuff again so it just sits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience was a squib would sound totally different and fail to cycle completely. I always do a cleaning rod check before resuming. I've tapped more rounds out than hammered ( I shoot a lot, probably could use a new barrel in some of the guns). But the main thing to get from this was to check before just recharging the gun and launching another round down a plugged up barrel. Had a squib in a Walther MPL. Ringed the barrel. It still shot OK, but the ringed barrel bugged me. Had my machinist bud carve up a new MPL barrel out of some fantastic 9mm blanks i have sitting around. Better than factory...unbelievable rifling. Way too good for a 9mm subgun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
