Description
Wilson Combat's remanufactured 135 grain 9mm brings serious competition and training value in bulk form. Built on cleaned and polished once-fired brass sourced from indoor ranges, each round is assembled in-house using their automated equipment and premium domestic components. This isn't the typical remanufactured ammo you might find elsewhere, the brass quality matters and shows in the consistency.
Why This Load Works for Competition
Designed by Bill Wilson in partnership with Berry Manufacturing, the 135 grain hollow base flat point bullet is engineered specifically for precision shooting and match performance. The hollow base design improves bullet contact with the barrel's rifling, which translates to tighter groups and cleaner holes in paper targets. It meets IDPA and USPSA minor power factor requirements at just 926 feet per second, which means you get accurate velocity consistency without excessive recoil and all the corresponding wear on your firearm.
400 Rounds of Range-Ready Ammunition
You're getting a full box of subsonic training ammo that feeds reliably in all quality 9mm handguns, though it's especially well-suited for 1911s and modern combat platforms. The flat nose profile cycles smoothly and the plated construction keeps fouling minimal, making cleanup easier when you're putting through hundreds of rounds at the club. With velocity typically running around 923 to 950 fps depending on your barrel length, the recoil impulse stays mild enough that you can focus on fundamentals.
Quality You Can Count On
Wilson's quality control on their remanufactured line sets them apart. The brass cases are genuinely once-fired and properly processed, not the beat-up recycled stuff you sometimes see in budget offerings. Each round maintains consistent overall length tolerances, which matters when you're trying to shoot tight groups or prepare ammunition for USPSA scoring. If you've ever wondered whether remanufactured ammo could be match-grade, this proves it can be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 135gr HBFN ammo work in all 9mm handguns?
Yes, it's suitable for use in any quality 9mm handgun. However, Wilson Combat specifically optimizes their 9mm loads for maximum overall length to ensure flawless function in custom and high-performance 1911 pistols, so reliability is guaranteed across both traditional 1911s and modern combat platforms alike.
How does the light recoil of this ammo compare to standard 9mm?
The 135 grain loading at subsonic velocity (around 950 fps) produces noticeably softer recoil than typical 9mm ammo, which helps with accuracy and shooting speed during training or competition. You're still getting accurate, match-grade performance without the added wear and tear that comes from faster, heavier-recoiling loads.
Is remanufactured ammunition from Wilson Combat reliable?
Wilson Combat's remanufactured line maintains high quality standards. The brass is genuinely once-fired and sourced from indoor ranges, then thoroughly cleaned and polished before reloading. Each round is assembled in-house on automated equipment with consistent velocity and overall length tolerances, which reviewers have verified through extensive testing.
Can I use this ammo in USPSA or IDPA matches?
Absolutely. The 135 grain hollow base flat nose bullet meets minor power factor requirements at 926 fps, making it ideal for competition matches that score power factor. The low recoil and match-grade accuracy from Wilson's proprietary loading specifications make it a practical choice for both training and match day.
