I think im going to.  More penetration than the 175gr crit duty, just need to get some nail polish from the wife haha.  If I ever get a g29 ill prob carry it in that as my every day gun.  I think im going to take the g20 off my permit.  Its really big to carry unless im wearing a flannel shirt so its really a 2 season gun.

I have a box of the Hornady #9126 loading left and will some over the chronograph through the Ltd Pro.  There's a Nighthawk Longslide inbound and will try to chronograph them the same day.  Will post results.

I just ordered some Hornady 180gr XTP.

Forgot to get back to you. Checked on the rounds that I took out and they are definitely factory. It could have been a chronograph error, though, so I'll see if I can get an average Sat.

Ran five over the chronograph today and got results consistent with the gelatin test. Maybe Hornady juiced these up a bit. Can anyone confirm?

I ordered a bunch of them from midway about 3 months ago, would that be fresh enough? I dont have a chrono tho.

Unless they pulled it off some hidden shelf somewhere, it has to be newer than what I shot. My wife bought that about two years ago.

Well if you want I can send a few off to intercooler.  I will need his address tho.

Send me a couple and maybe one to The Shadow for pull-down. We can see any difference between those and the 1180 FPS box I tested.
