.223 SS109

Anyone come across any .223 SS109 ammo recently?

How hard is it to find? I know it was produced locally at some point, not sure if this is still the case.
I know some Hirtenberger SS109 made a showing a while back.

NGA had some for a bit.

Hi Brendank

I know PMP manufactures SS109, last I heard they where selling at around R8.00 per round cfd89.
One issue though, I've heard of a few pressure problems with the PMP SS109 rounds.

Not maybe from shooting 5.56mm in a .223 chamber?

Hi Devil Dog,

Are they still being manufactured by PMP? If so, how easy are they to get?

Pretty sure that SS109 62gr won't play well with those 1 in 12 twists of the LMs at any distance...

Yes, they are currently manufacturing the SS109 rounds, I suppose it is being manufactured for the whole African Warrior 2000 program, I suppose some local dealer will be able to order some for you from PMP without much hassle.

No BigT they created problems in 5.56 NATO spec firearms.

Like what, as a matter of interest?
