IMI .30 Carbine 110gr JSP IDF/Police Ammo

Good report Wayne and my Hebrew is so bad, I can’t tell if the picture is upside down or not. I can read the numbers though.

'For a Distance of 50 meters'

Matt, I would love to say that group was shot at 100 yards but it was not. It was only at 25, I was just really seeing how the ammo functioned. It seemed to group left compared to FMJ ammo. Here is a target from the same gun at 67 yards with Korean Surplus FMJ.

Howdy Y’all, I am a newby today! Thank you for the granted membership! I have an a Universal M1 Carbine serial #64388 since 1974! Paid $75 from my 1st SGT in the Army! He bought from Sears! Now in 1980, I traded my rifle to my uncle for $100 in car engine repairs and he would never let me buy it back as agreed! 35 years later he died in 2015 and my cousin gave back to me last month! I hadn’t seen it in 41 years! Could not believe it but no ammunition! I bought 1080rds @ $.59 ea from SGAMMO in Oklahoma! South Korean ammo! It shoots great! They still have couple of canisters left! Total was little over $700 paid for with stimulus money! Trump would be proud! Now, my uncle bought a paratrooper folding stock but no pistol grip! Seems Ebay wants $165 ea! Anyone know where I can get a pistol grip without refinancing my house? Also, I have read a little about this weapon but anyone feel free to educate me!

Beautiful day today and I made it out to the range. Tested 25 rounds of the IMI SP. It did not disappoint. Used one of my best shooters, nice group on par with the Korean PSD surplus. The target below was at 50 from the bench. Then I moved to the 8" and 10" steel targets @130 and was able to ring them every time, using same sight settings as the PSD. This ammo is GTG in my book!
For fun I also took out an empty spray paint can at 50 and right through the center first shot.

I already heard back from Fede on the IAA forum. Here is what he said.

Hi David,

Although a 50 meters distance is mentioned in the datasheet, this is a regular soft point load, not a short range or reduced load. They also made a FMJ load with almost the same ballistic performance. See table from 1997 below:



The Israeli Police also used regular SP loads made by other manufacturers, like S&B and Federal.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Fede


Thanks!
