I purchased a box (50 rounds) of Maxxtech 9mm 115 Grain FMJ last weekend. I went to my local shooting range and fired all 50 rounds without a single issue. I was also pleased to find how clean the ammo was; not a dirty ammo at all. I was very happy with your product that I bought another box (50 rounds) and fired all of those too, without any issues. I will be looking for your product the next time I head to the range. Thank you for filling a hole in the ammunition supply market.

Why isn’t this ammo good for self defense, you mentioned penetration ?
Hi David,
The Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) round is a popular type of ammunition primarily used for target practice and training. While FMJ rounds are known for their affordability and reliability, they are generally not recommended for self-defense situations for several reasons. Here’s why:
Overpenetration
FMJ rounds are designed to maintain their shape upon impact. This results in a higher chance of the bullet passing through an attacker and potentially hitting an unintended target. Overpenetration is a significant concern in self-defense scenarios where ensuring the safety of bystanders is crucial.
Lack of Stopping Power
Unlike Hollow Point (HP) rounds that expand upon impact, FMJ rounds do not offer the same stopping power. HP rounds are designed to cause more significant wound channels, increasing the likelihood of incapacitating an attacker more quickly. The FMJ’s lack of stopping power means that it may not effectively neutralize a threat in a timely manner.
Legal Implications
Using FMJ rounds that overpenetrate could result in legal consequences. If a stray FMJ round were to harm an innocent bystander, the shooter could face legal repercussions. Hollow point and other self-defense rounds are engineered to minimize the risks associated with overpenetration.
Inefficient Energy Transfer
FMJ rounds do not transfer energy to the target as effectively as self-defense rounds. The design of FMJ bullets focuses on penetration, which often results in the bullet retaining much of its energy as it passes through the target. Self-defense rounds like HP are designed to transfer more energy upon impact, contributing to their stopping power.
