Winchester Super Match 9mm Luger Handgun Ammunition Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose 115 Grain 50 Rounds SM9FN115 UPC 020892235205
Product Description
Winchester Ammunition Super Match® 9mm Luger (SKU: SM9FN115 / UPC: 020892235205) is engineered specifically for competitive practical shooting, target disciplines, and high-volume match preparation. As part of Winchester's dedicated competition family, the Super Match 115-grain Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose load bridges the gap between mass-produced training ball and tuned handloads. Packaged in a convenient 50-round box, this load delivers exceptional shot-to-shot consistency, reduced muzzle rise, and tournament-grade reliability across striker-fired platforms, tuned 2011 match guns, and pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs).
The defining element of the SM9FN115 cartridge is its 115-grain Full Metal Jacket Flat Nose (FMJ-FN) projectile. Unlike standard curved round-nose bullets that tear cardboard, the wide, flat meplat punches clean, cookie-cutter perforations in competition paper targets, giving competitors a decisive edge when breaking scoring perimeters and scoring overlay boundaries. Propelled to a factory muzzle velocity of 1,215 fps and 377 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, this projectile produces an optimal 130 to 136 Minor Power Factor across typical 3.9-inch to 4.9-inch competition barrels, providing snappy slide cycling and rapid sight-picture return without excessive recoil fatigue.
Each round is assembled using precision-drawn, virgin CuZn brass cases that offer tight dimensional tolerances, smooth feeding, and outstanding reloadability for dedicated handloaders. Winchester pairs this premium brass with match-grade, high-sensitivity Boxer primers formulated to ensure instant, positive ignition even in custom race pistols fitted with reduced-power mainsprings or lightened competition strikers. Clean-burning, low-flash propellants minimize carbon accumulation around compensator ports, slide cuts, and optic lenses during demanding multiple-stage match schedules.
*Master Ballistician Bench Notes & Range Staging Guidance:*
Chamber Compatibility & Pressure Advisory: Engineered exclusively for SAAMI-compliant 9x19mm Parabellum / 9mm Luger / 9mm NATO chambers. CRITICAL: Verify your firearm barrel stamping prior to staging. Never attempt to chamber or fire 9mm Luger ammunition in 9x18mm Makarov, 9x21mm, 9x23mm Winchester, or .380 ACP firearms. Due to the truncated flat-nose profile, confirm feed-ramp geometry clearance in custom 1911/2011 match platforms before match-day deployment.
- Verify the firearm chamber stamping and barrel markings match the exact SAAMI 9mm Luger cartridge designation printed on the ammunition headstamp and box prior to loading.
- Inspect individual cartridges during magazine staging for seated primer uniformity, case mouth deburring, and consistent overall cartridge length (COAL) free of bullet setback.
- When running custom competition 1911/2011 platforms or PCCs with steep feed ramps, perform initial bench feeds to ensure the flat-nose meplat transitions seamlessly into the chamber.
- Establish baseline zero and point-of-impact (POI) at 15 and 25 yards to record elevation offsets relative to heavier 124gr or 147gr match loads on steel and cardboard target arrays.
- Store remaining ammunition in a cool, dry, climate-controlled environment (ideally inside a sealed M2A1/M19A1 ammo can with desiccant packs) and observe strict Ground/ORM-D hazardous materials shipping and handling regulations.
