Vultite 57 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 So I got a DeGroat can on the way and i was wondering, do suppressors cause a small drop in FPS for 9mm? if they do, anyone know of a ballistics chart for it? Oh, and what is everyone running for ammo in their 9mm cans? I hear 147 winclean is the shit to run, or 158 but that's kinda hard to come by right now....any other suggestions? I have seen some oddball 135 grain stuff but it's still supersonic... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are no charts for this has the internal volumn, length and width all come into play in this issue. I would suggest 147+ gr ammo, specifically Special K...I have not heard of any pro/con's on Winclean. Respectfully, MCASSgt New River Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 The special K ammo is great stuff, it's produced not far from me. If you want, I can send you the companies phone# and address. I have heard that the 158gr. stuff is tough on guns, but never shot any. I reload most all of my 9mm with the 147gr bullets to run subsonic thru my Yankee Hill can that I switch between the Beretta and Lusa rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old18C 4 Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 The 147(Federal and Winchester) go supersonic and cracks out of a MP-5 with a suppressor. The 158 IMI is great but the only brand of 158 I have used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
