This load has been hard to find. I just ordered 5 boxes from Sportsman's Guide with FREE shipping of $49 or more.

Coupon Code: SH1426

Enjoy..

Is that 9122? I haven't personally tested that one and might spring for it if I can get an order together.

ammunitiondepot.com has the 155 as well (got a box a few weeks ago, works great in the 29).....they specifically list it as 9122.

Most definitely 9122....Captripps has it right.

I would like to see it tested as well.

Edit: It looks like David got 1270 out of his Glock, but I have seen it faster chronoed by others.

  I ordered a box and renewed my membership. They kicked back a $20 coupon on my next purchase  :)

Are they a problem to find? A quick search shows me Midway, Cheaper Than Dirt, Graf And Sons, Midsouth Shooters, Natchez Shooters, and Wideners all have it in stock.
Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

Yeah I noticed this as well. I guess Hornady is making it again, which is a good thing.

Me, I like heavier bullets. I want the 180 grain .40 cal XTP's.

Got them today. 1265 FPS? Seems kind of weak  :o

   Shocker of the day :) After I sent the first one over (kind of loose on the grip), I knew these were moving out and had to "tighten up". These are real 10mm and exceed the flap rating a good bit! They could probably use 1325 FPS for the rating out of a Glock 4.6" barrel.

EAA Elite Limited 4.75" 1334, 1386, 1326, 1382, 1363. Average = 1358.2 FPS/ 635 LBS.

Very nice! I knew I liked this load for a reason. Thanks for the report.

Nice. Little shy of Georgia Arms 1375 Speer HP. But more available.

Intercooler - Thanks for the report, after reading it I ordered 10 boxes.  I haven't been able to get to the range for a while but I will be ready to try these in the EAA Match and Limited Pro.  If time allows I will run a few of them through the Heinie Logh Slide and the Wilson Tactical Elite too.  And if the range conditions permit I will shoot these over the chronograph.  It might be a couple of weeks before I can get to the range but will give a report once I go.
