Has anyone seen this ammo before?  It's listed as 165 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point and the name is Alex City Reloader.  That's all that is listed on the white box.  I was going to pull the ATF xls listing for the past couple of years but I thought that some of you guys might have seen it before.  I have one box and I've never seen anywhere else.  I bought this off of an individual and he said that he'd never seen it anywhere for sale.

Interesting looking bullet, very similar to the new Sig V Crown offering which is said to be made by Sierra Bullets.

I have never heard of the company as these small shops open and close fairly often.

Alexander City, AL came up in the search but nothing definitive

That's about all I could find in a Google search.  I'm an AL resident, I bought these from an individual that I met to buy some Underwood 10mm from and he offered these up and I bought them too.  Probably had them about a year. 

I thought maybe doing an FFL license search over the last few years might turn up something.  I also thought about Alexander Arms, but I bet it's just another dead end search.  I bet your 100% correct in Alex City Reloading being a small shop that's no more.

muscadinematt, do you handload ammo for yourself?  Have you taken any of those apart to see what inside?  How much and what type powder they used?  I am the one who is doing most of the ammo pull downs for documentations here.

The_Shadow, I haven't disassembled any.  I do handload for myself.  I need to pickup a collet bullet puller or a kinetic bullet puller.  I could sacrifice a few and use my shell holder and rock chucker with a pair of channel locks for bullet removal to get a powder measurement, but it might be difficult for me to pick out the powder.  If I get the bullets pulled I could shoot some pics of the powder, as I've only got Autocomp, 800X and blue dot to compare it to.

I also have a chrono Shadow.

There is no rush, with the kinetic puller you could put them back together afterwards...I do resize the brass minus the decapper, then use the normal expander and then reseat so they maintain bullet tension in the case, the taper crimp to finish.

When working with the puller I strike mine against the end grain of a block of 4"x4" watching the bullet movement.  Strike so the puller doesn't bounce (think of a dead blow hammer) trying to get the bullet to just drop free so the powder does not spill.  work over a sheet of typing paper just in case of spillage as you prepare to get a weight and picture...

If you take some pictures I'd like to see if I can ID what's there.

Okay Shadow., thanks for the tips.  Do you think 5 would be sufficient for powder weights? 

Start with one see what you learn, two gives a second look see, but no real reason to do a bunch unless you find one with no powder or something off the wall... 

I got 5.0 gr and 5.3 gr between two pulls.  Here are pics of the powder.

Shadow, small charge weight, Alliant Green Dot?

Yes that is Green Dot could be Alliant but if older it could be Hercules which is the previous company but same powder.

Its a fairly light load and Alliant shows 5.6 under a 170 grain at 1045 fps in the 40S&W loadings

If it were me I'd pull them and load them to a more respectable load level with another powder...  But that's me...I doubt they would be of any collector value?

Lol, just wasted cases in my opinion.  Wow, probably not even worth dragging out the chrono.  I suppose it will be plinking ammo.  Thanks for following
up!

Yes, I agree.  I'll wait until I get a kinetic puller.  I pulled these two with my press, shell holder and vice grips.  Damaged the case and bullet, so I'll wait and pull them correctly and reload them all.
