    If any of these are coming apart, it is because of poor casting and flaws in the bullets.

    Ones I read about where 115gr factory bullets from what I read is that they expanded to much. I have no experience just what I have read in a few other forms.

    I found 115s left full size poppers that weren’t hit high. 124s put them down easily. 147s were too expensive to throw at steel.

    I've played with the 9mm AR since Olympic first produced their Sten mag version in the late 80's. It shoots anything that fits in the mag without issue, but I had leading issues with most everything untill my GOTO load became the gas checked ranchdog 135gr when they first came out. Im not one to mess with light loads though,, more like full pressure or +P... 9mm is slow and weak enough as it is..
    Oh, btw..Both of mine are 16" barrel carbines,, I've had no desire for anything shorter.
    They've had lots of extra workout the few times 22lr have gotten scarce..

    "Sorry if that's rude but let's keep on topic."

    It's a cast bullet forum, so your JHP query is off topic. Good luck.
