*Being as it is hotter than what SAAMI specs as for 9mm +P it may void your warranty if any damage was to occur with many manufacturers. I'd probably use the above suggestion and use it for carbines. |

Anyone use this ammo? Not much on ARFCOM from what I can find, and modestly discussed elsewhere. http://www.men-defencetec.de/en/home/ Germans typically make good stuff and apparently they make NATO and German armed forces contract ammo. Some of their stuff seems NATO spec....other stuff seems plinker grade. Your link goes to an ad at Midway. I've got some of the light MEN. Works in the Sig P226 and 229, FTF in the AUG 9mm conversion. AJ |

I have a case or 2 of that in 762x51
Good ammo, but Berdan primed. I fired 200 rounds or so. I salted it away for a rainy day... |

Back in the mid/late 80s some surplus .303 British made by MEN came into the country. It was very good ammo, accurate and clean.
