Now we need a penetration test. I was thinking this might be a good load for woods carry but would like some more info on expansion ect before I carry it.

Im excited! I jumped on the critical duty 10mm bandwagon early and the next week they were $5 less per 20 but this ammo looks realllllly good.  It reminds of a bigger classic 125gr .357 magnum. Cant wait to see it in gel.

Got my hands on a box yesterday.

These shoot very good from an old gen 3 20 I found for a song at a local shop. These would make a good deer load but feel the hard cast is still a better option for woods carry where bears are roaming. I had no issues with the 20rds I fired. My personal opinion is these are a good start for the large ammo makers to get in the full power 10mm game.

Cool!

Curiosity is killing me...if you don't mind, what did you pay for the Gen 3?

That is a good price for sure.

Edit: I think MT found a used one.

Nice deal! Well worth it.

I am staring to think the non-SF versions are better.

I was wanting an EAA like IC has but there were none to be found. I could not pass up that deal.

Please keep us posted on how it performs. If it is good, I might get one to complement my SF.

Ups left me 2 boxes of UW 220 HC today and will see how it performs with some 1200fps 220 HC.

I'll be testing it in gelatin any day now if I can get a sitter and somebody to go to the range with me.

  Federal finally has a real 10mm round. Now if they could only make other 10mm rounds and a FMJ loaded the same way.

Federal 180gr JSP
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1286, 1275, 1276. Average = 1279 FPS/ 654 LBS. This is about perfect with the box rating. I will get brass measurements here in a little bit.


Wow! Awesome! Got 2 boxes of this to try maybe on the weekend. Thanks for sharing looking forward to the gel test!!!
