This ammo does look good. Im going to have to keep an on it and look for a distributor to get it in.

I checked Cabelas website tonight, it still shows this ammo as back ordered.

As of today the Cabelas website shows this as in stock. Has anybody tried any yet? I need to find some good factory ammo that will function my RIA 1911 with 20# Wolff Spring.

EDIT: My apologies. The ammo I found was for FMJ and not the VCrown. Sorry

Title: Re: Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's
Post by: Intercooler on July 16 2015 11:37:10 AM MDT

I'm going this evening. EAA 4.75" and 6".

Title: Re: Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's
Post by: Intercooler on July 16 2015 05:16:03 PM MDT

I ran the FMJ's right after the V-Crowns.

Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crown
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1208, 1207. Average = 1207.5 FPS/583 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1247, 1251. Average = 1249 FPS/624 LBS

Sig Sauer 180gr FMJ
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1230, 1227. Average = 1228.5 FPS/603 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1254, 1281. Average = 1262.5 FPS/637

The FMJ's look to be loaded a little stronger. Hopefully the pull-down will show something.

Those fmj's will make a nice practice load.

Post by: The_Shadow on July 16 2015 07:26:02 PM MDT

The Jacketed Hollow Point bullet being slightly longer they may have reduced the powder charge slightly... ::)

Title: Re: Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's
Post by: sgtbones on July 16 2015 09:16:05 PM MDT

Still the V Crown seems to be a good load. We will have to wait and see the gel test.

Title: Re: Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's
Post by: Centimeter on July 17 2015 09:33:39 AM MDT

Those are some pretty good results; for the performance and the price point they're at I think SIG is going to do quite well with these, at least in 10mm Auto. I see that both FMJ and HP are both in stock on the website so it's looking like they're finally building some stock!

Title: Re: Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's

Will this be anybody new carry round for self defense ?

Post by: The_Shadow on July 18 2015 05:17:52 PM MDT

We will know more soon as Intercooler sends them down for peek inside... ;D

But hey these are 10mm and I wouldn't hesitate to carry them...

Handful of gel tests of the Sig V-Crowns (9mm, 357 sig, .40) available online. Don't recall any of those jhp tests yielding overly *impressive results..... But never know, maybe they'll be great in 10mm.

Did you see Chopinbloc's?

I'm shipping him the 10mm version tomorrow for gel.

Great news. I would like to ship him a few of my 10mm Ted Nugent 180 XTP.

Although I follow Andrew's stuff; I'd somehow missed that one last month. Thx for pointing out.

Wow, the penetration was wild... 14" of ballistics gel, then another 12" (2 plastic gallon jugs) of water!!!
Still showing .554 expansion. Crazy penetration in that test.

Can't wait to see how the 10mm test does.

Post by: cwall64 on July 23 2015 12:10:28 PM MDT

I am trying to decide between these and the current Hornady Custom 180 grain ammo I am using for carry purpose. I guess these have a higher advertised velocity than the Hornady's (1250 vs 1100). And with Intercooler"s testing it looks like they get close...

Title: Re: Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's
Post by: Wolfie on July 23 2015 01:47:09 PM MDT

Fired a box of V Crowns, 155 Hornady's and 175 flexlock Hornady.

155 were equal or stronger than the V Crowns.

Flex Locks were clearly weaker but surprisingly smoother.

Fired out of my G 29 using stock and Lone Wolf extended barrel. No problems at all.All good carry ammo.

Running low on Win Silver tips... only a few boxes left and haven't been able to replace.

Will have to try these and see if the V crown makes a good replacement for carry.

Post by: colt1911fan on October 30 2015 05:12:42 AM MDT

I am very much enjoying this product. The price is right and having the carry and range ammo so close in performance and feel has been great. Certainly carries more punch than the UMC range stuff and the Hornady JHP I also carry.

Still not convinced what the best combo of weight/speed are for self defense and 10mm. But, this should certainly do the job, and I've started to bias my ammo inventory toward this product.

Both Sig loads run just fine in my RIA 10mm. Maybe more factory loads will start arriving as more than neutered .40 S&Ws.
