It looks like all Sig FMJ ammo is on sale at Cabela's. The 10mm !80gr FMJ is 19.59 and you get free shipping over $49 with code 5JOLLY. I just ordered a few boxes.

Good deal. Thank you.
Thanks. This Sig ammo runs well. Not sure if anyone has done a tear down.
They also have the V Crown hollow points on sale for $15 and change for 20 rounds.
What bullets is Sig using for the FMJ?

I bought two lots of this ammo. The first lot is fine, the second lot, not so much. Ugg. Not having good luck with factory ammo lately. >:(
Problem: Apparently this lot didn't get crimped, or was crimped marginally. I can pick up the bellmouth tactilely, visually and with my mic. It doesn't feed well in ANY of my 10mm guns. Including my 1006 and that old dog eats anything! I don't feel like contacting Sig, but I guess I will. That said since I have 4 boxes left, I'll run them in my Lee FCD. (Any objections?)
I would rather see you run them in a standard crimp die, where you are only doing the crimp. The FCD may exert too much pressure on the casing/bullet as seated and make for a loose fit. If you do use the FCD test it for any and all bullet movements, in, out, twist...if they are loose use a standard taper crimp die. ;)

I don't have any other 10mm crimp dies. Never had a problem with the FCD. I will go light and do the tests.
I wouldn't be at all concerned using the FCD with factory jacketed ammo. Excessive oversize lead perhaps, for the reason Shadow stated, although I've not had issues using them on a dozen calibers. Just use it like it was intended.
Crimped all my Sig 10mm rounds. Kinda boring but worked like a champ. No loose bullets, no crunched bullets, nothing exciting. To the inexperienced 10mm user, the rounds hardly look different. After 6 years of 10mm love, I KNOW the difference. That is all.
