ANOKA, Minnesota –-(Ammoland.com)- Federal is excited to announce its new Syntech PCC 9mm Luger load, designed to meet the exhaustive demands of fast-paced Pistol Caliber Carbine competitions, with flawless function in carbine platforms. Shipments of Syntech PCC ammunition have been delivered to dealers.
The load’s velocity and accuracy are optimized for long gun-barrel lengths, with a bullet profile that provides excellent accuracy and reliable feeding in a variety of carbine platforms. Syntech PCC joins the Syntech Action Pistol offering as official ammunition of United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA).
Like all Syntech loads, Syntech PCC features the one-of-a-kind TSJ projectile, which uses a polymer jacket to eliminate metal fouling and drastically reduce damaging barrel heat and friction. The bullet style also minimizes splash-back on steel targets. Its exclusive Catalyst primer provides hot, reliable ignition without the use of lead.
“Syntech PCC is offered in 9mm Luger 130-grain is all about having a better shooting experience when shooting a pistol cartridge, historically speaking, through a rilfe platform,” said Federal Centerfire Product Director Mike Holm. “With Syntech, you naturally have it—more features of what all shooters want, and less of what you don’t.”

So they needed to develop a special 9mm load for using a PCC in competition — would that be because none of their premium defensive loads provide “flawless function” with “velocity and accuracy optimized for long gun-barrel lengths” and “a bullet profile that provides excellent accuracy and reliable feeding in a variety of carbine platforms”?
Does any other Co make 9mm for longer barrels?
How fast is this Ammo in 16”? Thanks
That raises an interesting topic. I couldn’t care less about a “competition” load for a PCC, but I could be interested in a defensive load optimized for a PCC. Lately all the manufacturers seem to be optimizing defensive loads for the shorter and shorter barrel lengths that have become popular for CCW. That’s good and I suppose those loads will mostly also run OK in a PCC, but the fact that Federal felt a need to produce a customized PCC competition load seems to show that there is almost certainly room for a better defensive PCC load as well.
