NEED INFORMATION ON THE BEST AMMO TO USE FOR MY 30 SHOT TOY. I HAVE HAD SOME JAMS AND HAD RATHER NOT STATE THE COMPANY. THE AMMO HAS BEEN WONDERFUL FOR MY RIFLE BUT JAMS IN THE NEW KEL-TEC.
Comments
The only one of those I have shot was reliable with CCI.
THAT WAS MY PROBLEM AMMO.
Might be your having a magazine, or break-in problems? If your still at a low round count. Mine has over 2000 rounds threw it. Only problem was not locking back, after last shot was fired. Strangely enough, after I mounted a small Burris red dot. It locked back OK, 90 percent of the time.
I would try another recoil spring, different magazine. And the CCI 30 grainers with the Nickel plated cases. To see if reliability improves.
still working on my first two hundred. the high priced fed like a champ. the mag is hard for stiff hands to load after the first fifteen.
Might try to acquire one of the Glock type magazine loaders, (although I don't know if anyone makes one, for the large PMR 30 magazine?)
This is the type that fits over the magazine. With a plastic "finger" that depresses the top cartridge. It's slow, but works OK. I have different size ones. To fit all my Glocks, and Glock Advantage Arms conversion units. Works great! Much easier to load, than trying to force in each individual cartridge.
I have made one range trip and shot about 100 of the Choot ems and 50 of the V-max. Ran like a champ with no issues what so ever.

Check out one of the Uplula loaders http://www.maglula.com/product-category/pistol-mag-loaders/
That being said, your firearm maybe completely different. If you want to find what your
Kel Tec will fire reliably and accurately, you will need to experiment. I would stick with the approved list that was included with your paperwork....
Suppose the heavier grain bullets should work better or am I wrong on this?
Not in my PMR, but the OP's might be different. Like I said my PMR is real fussy ammo wise. Don't get me wrong, it will fire everything. But accuracy is meh, except for the Nickel plated, 30 grain, H-P's.
