Need hotter 9mm ammo for PPS-43

[SSE]

I switched my PPS-43 over to 9mm from 7.62x25 and I think I need some hotter ammo to fully eject the empty cases.
The empty cases are getting caught by the bolt feeding the next rd. into the barrel.
Sometimes she will run most of a mag but most times not.
Anybody know of source for reasonably priced ammo with a little stronger recoil impulse than 115 gr. WW white box or Wolf
I have not found the 124 gr. white box or Wolf to try.
Thanks

Try a box of Fiocchi, or S & B. It might do the trick.

Can you lighten the spring?

I do not want to cut the spring as it barely has the power to strip a rd. when the mag is almost full

Israeli milsurp, that Weiner's has at the moment, is made for SMG's and is said to be a lot hotter. Try that maybe

Underwood Ammo carries +p+ 9mm ammo. Nice shooting out of my G19!

+1 for Underwood Ammo. It's what I carry in my EDC (10mm Glock) and my occasional 40cal XD. They make some of (if not the) most powerful rounds you'll find and cheaper than the other popular personal defense rounds.

Thanks for the info guys

Underwood is also my G20 carry ammo. A little more practice and it may well replace the Cor Bon or Gold Dots in my G19.

Might try some 9mm NATO. They're loaded hotter.

If you aren't afraid of corrosive ammo Samco has Pakistani 9mm loaded hot for sub gun use for .20/round. I have no idea if it's hangfire prone or not, but I'm sure the primers are hard.

I have 1000 rds of Israeli 147grain plus-p-plus. Its stamped 74-75 mfg date. It might be what you need. I would be happy to send you some rds to try, just to see if thats what you need... I cant Pm you.. not enough posts.. but I would call you if you wanna post your number up.

Do you belong to the weaponsguild.com forum? There is a special sub forum for the PPS43. And there is some info on the 9mm conversion. You might find some insight on there. There maybe a simpler fix other then buying expensive ammo.

I have a couple PPS43 kits to build. I will be doing those in 9mm.

Check out Gander Mountain and maybe Walmart. Winchester has some new white box ammo. Its labeled "9mm NATO".

I recall seeing warnings about this ammo on FB because its surplus, and tends to border on "+P" power ammo. The warning was "shooting this ammo may decrease the life of your pistol" pointing out it may run hotter than typical civilian commercial ammo.

Sounds like it might be right up your alley.

I have a case of the Paki 9mm, corrosive primers but it is fairly hot. Bought a few years back when it was really cheap. If you are in the north central Indiana area I would donate a box for you to try.

Federal 9BPLE is pretty hot stuff, if it doesnt do it for you, then its time to start looking for some of that sub-gun ammo you hear about from time to time.

I bought some samson 9mm. it was rated with +p. Most smg's have a heavy chamber to accept the higher pressure. Be safe.

Well I tried the Win. NATO ammo and it still needs a little more.
It did funtion better , about 75% reliable. So I will need to keep trying.
Thanks for all the responses

Will the 124 grain NATO ammo run in it?
