Fired it for function, and it worked great. Now that I know it works I have to find another box somehow for street carry. I also fired the Federal XM10 180 grain. Both loads exhibited the same amount of recoil as far as I could tell.

The Atlanta Arms was noticeably peppier than the Federal stuff, which was a downloaded load to FBI specs. The Atlanta Arms was a nice practice load for the money.

There were no malfunctions, and all in all was a good day at the range.

4949shooter, the Federal XM10 180 grain being loaded with the Winchester Action Pistol or now the same powder Ramshot Silhouette is a much softer recoiling powder, Intercooler noticed this in some loadings he tested.
But the Federal XM10 180 grain and the Atlanta Arms were loaded about to the same velocities but the HS6 powder in the Atlanta Arms is a faster burning propellant making it snappier!
