Title: Old Federal 180gr Hydra-Shoks
Post by: Intercooler on December 30 2013 04:30:06 PM MST
   This was a bonus added tonight with the Black Hills I picked up. The person I traded with said he can remember these being "hotter" in his 1006. I would say from the era when Federal knew how to load the 10mm!

No surprise there. That's pretty much what Federal advertises them at.

Thanks for testing them!

Loaded more for the bullet design performance than for max speed.  But hey they are still 10mm! ::)

I just bought some the other day at Academy. While they seem weak by 10mm standards, they seem like a great home defense round.
