Can just came in for the Akv and looking for 9mm subs.
What is good cheap plinking stuff vs some hollow point for a rainy day? |

Been using American Eagle 147gr FMJ for my subsonic PCC round and haven't had any issues.
Thinking of using Speer G2 Gold Dot in 147. Not sure how I feel about the elastomer filling. |

Have they changed the design and gone to an elastomer plug like the Critical Duty/Defense? Their site isn't showing a change... https://www.speer.com/performance/gold-dot-performance.html |

The G2 has the elastomer in the tip. I tried ordering some of the new Ranger with the elastomer too but it was backordered

Early on, the AKVs had issues with flat point ammo. That would be a large percentage of commercial subsonic stuff.
No clue if that's still the case. Not all flat point ammo is shaped the same. Some of it has a smaller flat portion and some of it is shaped more like a wadcutter or 9mm beer can. The less big around the flat point is, the better if feeds in the AKVs. Mine is a very early AKV and does choke on flat pointed ammo. It has no issues with round nose 147, 158, and 165gr. I load my own 147 round nose plinking rounds for cheap. |

I can concur what giantpune said about certain AKVs not liking certain flat nose ammo. Mine seemed to like the Lawman 147gr but not other flat nose ammo. I usually run Freedom Munitions round nose 147gr in my AKV and other PPCs that don't like flat nose ammo.
