Today, I brought four different varieties to the range:

115 grain Perfecta FMJ
124 grain Remington FMJ
147 grain Sig hollow points
? grain lightweight frangible ARX

Each and every one fired without a hiccup. Surprisingly, I did the best with the cheap Perfecta. Gotta like that.

Which Millennium are you shooting? Looks like a successful range trip!

Sounds like you got a good one. Feeds all kinds of ammo it sounds like, what's to not like?

Congrats on a successful range trip. I am guessing this was a PT-111 G2.

I also assumed it was a G2, glad you are pleased with your purchase.

Yep, it's the PT111 G2. I neglected to add that.

Perfecta is normally what I use in my pistols, when I can get it. Seems the secret is out on it so it's hard to find occasionally.

All of the Walmarts in SW Ohio seem to not even carry any Perfecta brand anymore. Even the shelf labels are gone.

Great range rep. Yeah, Perfecta was the Go-to economy brass .223. Walmarts in Phoenix, AZ region no longer even have the labels on the shelf for it.

I spoke to a senior Sporting Goods DH at the Walmart I frequent, and she stated that Perfecta and Walmart are no longer in contract. So, I doubt you'll see much more of it at Wally world. Shame, as it was a clean, good, inexpensive brass .223 that my AR was routinely fed in the beginning. Well over a grand of that stuff through it.

Yep! For a short time I was able to score perfecta at my local Wallyworld in Cave Creek. Good stuff and reasonably priced at that time. However I've haven't seen it in well over a year.

That sounds exactly right, as to when I stopped seeing it, too.
