    re hollow

    DJ they are Winchester wb 230 jhp they seem to be fine now but when i first put some of these through they were hanging up, i polished the feed ramp myself around the 200 mark. Although within the first 200 or so rounds i was getting hangups left and right with reloads and with wwb now they feed alright no probs.
    ie: it might be due to the fact we can only have 10 rd mags up north they seem to feed fine.

    peace out jmiddy

    My 9, about a year. My 45 I've had since late June and I have 1690 rounds through it. Will get pretty close to 2000 around the new year (by February I should have it over 2000 as well).

    My guess would be over 15000 rounds. I'm not entirely sure, but it'll probably be more than most people will shoot in their lives. I'll probably get the 9 up to around 10K rounds, just accounting for future weapons purchases and I'll probably be putting it in my vehicle or a bug-out kit.

    Yeah, med kit, water, some food, survival kit, and pistol. Something that'll keep me alive in case the SHTF.
