Sellier & Bellot 9x18mm Makarov Full Metal Jacket

A: My local FFL sells a lot of this brand. No complaints from anyone That I've talked to. 9mm Luger is nominally . 355 inch diameter, Makarov is larger. The length of the case is 19mm for the Luger, 18mm for the Makarov. The Makarov case is not as tapered as the Luger, it is designed for straight blowback operation, the Luger has more taper and was designed as a case suitable for locked breech weapons..

A: Hi Michael. No you do not want 9mm x 18mm. You want 9mm luger, also known as 9x19 parabellum, 9mm NATO, or simply 9mm. The ammo you linked to (9mmx18mm is a different round) 9mm Mak uses physically larger cases and bullets and it simply "shouldn't" fit. Makarov is actually 9.3mm. Approximately .366 in diameter. Won't chamber in a 9mm, which is .355. You want this budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/61881/sellier+%26+bellot+9mm+115+grain+fmj+50rd+box />.
