American Reloading has Federal Guard Dog 165 gr .40/10mm EFMJ pulls for $50/500 shipped. Use SHOTSHOW15 for 15% off... I picked up 2k to run in 10mm and 40 Super, haven't seen these in a few years since RMR had some.

Not sure if anyone else bought these, but finally opened mine and to my surprise, the bullet is identical in length to the 135 gr EFMJ! I'm guessing they just reduced the amount of polymer and added 30 gr more lead. This is great news for 10mm and 40 Super sinice the allowable powder capacity won't change, yet the bullet is only slightly longer than a 180 gr FMJ.

I am going to run a series of loads through both cartridges once my schedule clears up in March. Hoping for 1400 fps from 10mm and 1650 fps from the 40 Super.

Does anyone have gel testing capabilities?
