For all you 9mm AR15 carbine users,  what kind of ammo do you feed your guns?  I bought a case of Blazer since they were on sale for less than $100.  However,  they are very inconsistent in my carbine. I get jams every 3 or 4 rounds.  I'm using Colt and modified UZI mags.  The Hirtenberger subgun ammo runs just fine.  However,  I don't want to use up what I have left since I can't find these anymore.

Any suggestions?  Wideners has the Greek 124gr on sale including shipping.  Has anybody use this on their carbines?

Thanks in advance ...

I run the 9mm 115grn Winchester.  It's a "Wally World" special for 10.89/100, and runs like a champ.  I also use the 147grn Federal and Winchester loads with the suppressor.  

It's been my experience that the Colt likes the hot stuff.  I would stay away from the Blazer in a blow-back weapon; you might come up missing a case rim.  I've also heard that the Greek 124grn is a little on the anemic side and does'nt run very well in the Colt 9mm.

I'd go with the Winchester; you won't find anything cheaper.

124gr Hirtenberger FMJ +P+ sub-gun ammo for practice and Winchester Ranger SXT 127gr +P for defense.

I'll second the Wally world Value pack. Although John(prideboss) i bought my 9 from told me he uses the greek stuff without any problems.
