$175 for 500 rounds.... Works out to be $0.35 per round.

Could be good for plinking?

I like to see more offerings too; weak or not!

They advertise them at 1120 FPS. I will go with that.

these are 40S&W loads in a 10mm package

    Let's see what the actuals are first. Probably 10mm-lite for sure though.

Got em!

I'm hoping the rain stops and I can run them tomorrow.

Okay... PPU please quit making 10mm ammo until you really know what's going on and how to load it.

EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1055, 1073, 1062, 1065, 1042. Average = 1059.4 FPS/ 424 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1110, 1063, 1126, 1072, 1108. Average =  1095.8 FPS/ 453 LBS

The 180gr JHP's are stronger! Just not worth the buy really.

Ughh...that is light even for 40 standards.

Edit: How did they cycle your gun?

Intercooler

They cycled fine, but switching to Underwood was like hitting another gear.

Oh well, was hoping for something that was actually 10mm power.

It arranges for decent target practice and more brass for loading.

Where's the downside?  ;)

1) For a longslide or DI gun, set up for 10mm, this marginal .40SW man will barely run the gun. I can swap in a 15 or 17#spring. It does run my 1006 just fine.
2) The brass is dubious for hot reuse. I save mine for powder puff loads, but I would advise not to use this ammo for full power 10mm. Search it out.
3) I have bought PPU, but watch the sales - only get it when super cheap, plus other sales will have a bit better ammo for close to the same price.

Range fodder, eh? I see your point. I'll bear that in mind should I run across some in my local gun shop.
