Freedom Munitions 9mm 115gr XTP and 124gr RN

[Intercooler]

I picked up their new rounds instead of the reloads for this round of testing. The plan is to test them tomorrow evening now that the rain is drying up.

10mm 180gr RNFP


9mm 115gr XTP

9mm 124gr RN


They are using a brass marked IMT for their new 9mm rounds. I will have to look it up!

  Some info on the brass which looks to be made in Turkey.

Looking at the info the original post put up those stampings look very poorly done, I would be suspect of poor annealing too.

I bought all of these to test only. IMO money is better spent on better brands.
