Mk111 High vel or std?

[Dueeast]

I've got HUNDREDS of each standard load and high velocity. Are the hot one's ok to use in my new Mk111? or will they prematurly wear the recoil spring? :?

High velocity ammo is fine, and the pistol may require some breaking in before it will cycle the standard velocity. I have many thousands of rounds through my MK pistols, mostly high velocity, and haven't had any spring issues.

Ruger manual says you can use standard or high velocity. But no shot shells. I've only used high velocity. No problems whatsoever.

 

[contender]

use either. Your gun will tell you which ones it likes the best. If both do ok,, then your gun is a happy gun!

Both are OK but it will like the lower velocity ammo for best accuracy (Mark II and IIIs). I shoot a box of HV on a new pistol then switch to standard. CCI standard groups well in most of mine.

Thanx, Russ

The return spring is only an $10 part but HVs are just fine. The spring will fully compress whether you use HV or standard rounds and it won't know the difference.

It's a lot of fun to shoot the hyper velocitys. They fly at 1400 fps out of my 6 7/8 in barrel and you get some recoil "kick" as well.
