This cartridge’s 165 grain bullet is unusually heavy as far as 9mm is concerned. It is slow to accelerate thanks to its generous mass, so it should only achieve a velocity of 800 fps by the time it tears out of the barrel. That’s over 300 fps slower than the speed of sound, which means a far softer than usual report for your suppressor to dampen.
This ammo’s bullets are optimized to keep a suppressor as clean as possible. The TMJ bullet’s core is entirely enclosed by its metal jacket. Whereas an FMJ typically lets ignition vaporize part of its lead core, the TMJ produces no lead vapors that could accumulate on a suppressor’s baffles.
Ammo Inc., the American manufacturer that creates Stelth ammo, promotes even cleaner performance courtesy of their Hyperclean Technology. It helps propellant burn away completely to produce exceptionally little residue, which alongside Ammo Inc.’s supple brass cases and non-corrosive Boxer primers delivers a very clean target shooting experience indeed.
