Casting for a Cobray M11

[sirgknight]

I didn't know anything about a Cobray M11 until I recently acquired this one. There was some talk about it being particular about the kind of ammo that it would shoot without jamming, etc. I have been casting for a Ruger P95 so I had several boxes of 9mm already on hand. After loading the 32-rd magazine I put it on the range and fired away. No jams, no hickups, no problems at all. It functioned flawlessly.
MAN, WHAT A BLAST!!!! I quickly discovered that I didn't have enough 9mm ammo to play with this thing. The ammo? Lee 90309 (125 grain RN), lubed with Alox, mixed brass, Wolf SP primers, 4.0 gr Bullseye. Guess I'll be casting and loading for 9mm this weekend.....

Does it have a fixed firing pin and fire from an open bolt?

It fires like a standard semi-auto firearm, although bolt action is extremely fast. I believe I read somewhere that the auto version will empty a 32-rd mag in about 1 & 1/2 secs; this relates to about 1200 rounds per minute.

They fire from a closed bolt. I used to have a Pre-ban model. Look up bump firing. They were a blast back when factory 9mm was 3.95 a box.
