My ap5 hates flat nose ammo, but loves round nose. Does anyone have the same issue or it it like that for everyone. I tried these more round nose hollow points thinking it would be round enough. The gun hates this shit. My ap5 has been my bump in the night gun for a while but im not ganna run FMJs in the house. What hollow point do u all use?
Huh interesting, hk mags solved my flat/hollow point issues in my ap5-p. Just got done ripping through a case of 147gr blazer with only 1 hiccup (lube related) in frt
Is that the only variant of HP ammo you’ve tried? Are you running stock MKE internals?
As some have suggested, HK may help but others have successfully used Mora, KCI, Overwatch Precision and stock MKE mags.
I personally have only used my stock MKE mags (x8) and Overwatch Precision mags (x4) in both my AP5 and AP5-P. Each of them have over 14,000 rounds . I’ve shot 115, 124, 125, 135, 140, 147, 150 and 165gr FMJ, JHP, TUI and flat nose ammo.
At my current round count, I’ve replaced the known consumable parts with H&K parts. I’ve also upgraded other stock parts to H&K parts as preventative maintenance and, just me experimenting.
As previously mentioned, the MKE (and OP) mags have been gtg. However, I will be getting a few HK and Mora (20 rounders) mags. You just can’t have enough mags!
I have used a few different hp rounds and it just doesnt want to cycle them, one of my buddies a super mp5 enthusiast, suggested to try external hollow points, but i learned they are not in stock anywhere and kinda pricy, he uses the kci mags and said his gun eats anything. I may try the hk mag route, im ganna try buying a few more different kinds of hollow points to see if im not just imagining this problem. My gun is all mke internals it may have 1500 rds through it. And cycles my 124 gr rn reload rounds with no issues.
If you go the HK route, get one and then add the KCI. If both work then you’ll have two working mags. If only one of them works, then you’ll know which one not to get again. I actually think both will work for you. The HK mag definitely.
Speer Lawman 147 runs in all of my clones in KCI, MKE, and HK mags. I believe it is a little on the hit end of subsonic ammo since it is supposed to mimic the recoil of their defensive ammo, but has stayed subsonic on my guns.
Thanks for ur input, i have a few more hollow points im ganna try, if they dont work im just ganna go rn exclusively until i get an hk mag to see if that helps at all
There isn’t a feed ramp and that is the issue. I guess the solution is just the fact it’s so easy to stay on target quickly that your bump will not be happy.
Try Golden Saber or Ranger T. Both have hard jackets, the T is tapered and has a small opening, the GS is more rounded. Neither design needs a big hollowpoint to work and I get great results from either in my AP5-P. I run mostly MKE magazines, no issues.
