I have been wanting to get both to see how what's there. Hopefully by next weekend I might have both to try out.

I dont see the beartootbs on their page was this a special loading?

They are being loaded this week. I asked to be on the reserve list ${$default_grin_smiley}$

Have any idea what velocity they are looking to achieve?

Intercooler · September 23 2014 02:32:56 PM MDT

My guess is 1200 FPS to match the XTP's rating.

I received the Freedom Munitions 180gr's today and will be testing them tomorrow.

Freedom 180gr FMJ
EAA Elite Limited 4.75" 1070, 1082, 1063, 1071, 1057. Average = 1062 FPS/ 451 LBS. Pretty far off the 1200 FPS advertised and not real 10mm.

Also ran a couple of repeats:

American Quality Ammo 180gr FMJ
EAA Elite Limited 4.75" 984, 993, 959, 970, 953. Average = 971.8 FPS/ 378 LBS. Screams .40 Cal and last time out it gave a 995 FPS average.
Precision Cartridge Company 180gr LRN
EAA Elite Limited 4.75" 1114, 1134, 1146, 1105, 1157. Average = 1131.2 FPS/ 512 LBS

Anthony said today G20 = 1215 FPS:

200 lead comes in just over 1200FPS in our G20 with excellent SD. As a matter of fact, they are the lowest SD I've seen out of that gun, one string has an ES of 4FPS. SD was a max of 9FPS throughout all the test loads with the powders we tried out. Those are some well made bullets, very nice overall.

I need to test them in some other guns, I'm loading them at 1.270" to line-up with the crimp groove perfectly and I want to make sure they'll feed.

Hopefully 1230-1240 in the Pro.
