Dr.Hess Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I've never heard of one. What did they convert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsefly Posted June 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 My brother has boat-load of 9x18 MAK ammo and ask me if there was ever a revolver chambered in it. Us 3 brothers and a nephew have PA-63’s and they won’t chamber hollow points. At least not the flavor my brother bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I had the same problem with HPs. At one time I had four PA 63s I bought cheap using them as trading goods. I just can’t recall the brand as all I have left is what is in the mag of the PA 63 I kept. The behind the iron curtain HP ammo is copper washed, Berdan primed and the HPs are reliable. I think it was Hornady or another name brand USA mfg that wouldn’t empty a mag in the PA without at least one failure. They worked fine though in my Russian Mak. A neighbor claims he’s using 380+P HPs in his PA 63 and Bulgarian Makarov and they run reliably. Don’t know if what he says is true as I’ve never seen 380+Ps other than Buffalo Bore hard cast. I’ve put plenty of 380s through my PA and Maks. The 380s run but accuracy is piss poor after 15 yards launching a .355 bullet down a .363 bore. A few years ago after a box of 380s copper fouled the bore of my Mak and it took some scrubbing with Sweets solvent to clean it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
