I'm looking for a replacement ammo for my WM 9mm "Champion 115 gr FMJ RN" brass-cased ammo that I can't get any longer at WM, for obvious reasons. (And let's not get into a discussion of that in this thread.)
The ballistics are 1125 fps and 323 ft-lbs. at the muzzle. Apparently the Federal Champion was a brand made exclusively for WM, because I cannot find it anywhere else. (The product number is WM 51991 in the 100-round packs, so that's a bit of a giveaway.)
The American Eagle and the Winchester White Box are both hotter, so they are out.
However ... I did come across a Federal "Ultra Target & Range" from some online suppliers that has the same specs at the muzzle.
So, I am thinking it's the same thing.
Is it a fair bet that it's the same ammo? I would doubt Federal was making this stuff just for WM and would walk away from that market, but just curious what you think. I don't want to buy 1,000 rounds of this stuff (minimum I can find) and then be disappointed.
Thanks
