I took the advice of one of the links here and bought some CCI Blazer ammo in aluminum cheap. I've been shooting Federal and some Blazer CCI brass in my P-3AT with negligible recoil (comfortable to shoot). The Brass CCI was 95 gr round nose FMJ. Well, I received my aluminum CCI today and took some out to shoot it since I had never shot aluminum cartridges before. Wow!! These are HOT! Same 95 gr round nose FMJ, but they bite my hand! The only difference I can see is that the aluminum rounds are Berdan primed. Of course with that type of primer, they may be made in Russia or somewhere that makes military rounds using hotter powder. This thing feels more like my FEG PA-63 in a 9x18 mm size.
I know this is a long post, but there was such a difference in recoil that I thought one of you might know. I feel like pulling the bullets and plugging in some peel-back HPs like the new Winchester Ranger Lawman have in them and make them lethal. Happy days!
