Post by: Intercooler on September 30 2014 05:41:16 PM MDT
I picked up their new rounds instead of the reloads for this round of testing. The plan is to test them tomorrow evening now that the rain is drying up.

10mm 180gr RNFP

They are using a brass marked IMT for their new 9mm rounds. I will have to look it up!

  Some info on the brass which looks to be made in Turkey.

Looking at the info the original post put up those stampings look very poorly done, I would be suspect of poor annealing too.  ???

I bought all of these to test only. IMO money is better spent on better brands.

Freedom Munitions 124gr RN
Springfield XD 4" 1043, 1015, 1037, 1028, 1020. Average = 1028.6 FPS/ 291 LBS
EAA Elite Limited 4.75" 1051, 1059, 1074, 1073, 1075. Average = 1066.4 FPS/ 313 LBS

Freedom Munitions 115gr XTP
Springfield XD 4" 1286, 1286, 1249. Average = 1273.66 FPS/ 414 LBS
EAA Elite Limited 4.75" 1316, 1329, 1299. Average = 1314.66 FPS/ 441 LBS  These were shockingly zippy and the recoil mirrored it.

I also ran the Nugent 115gr Gold Dots since I didn't have the XD data.
Springfield XD 1165, 1177. Average = 1171 FPS/ 350 LBS
EAA Elite Limited 1214, 1219. Average = 1216.5 FPS/ 378 LBS  Last time out they averaged 1192 FPS
