Just purchased 250 rnds, should have them in a few days, 180 grn. Anyone tried these and what did you think? Price wasn't bad ($108 free shipping on 1st order) and thought I'd give em a try.

Thanks Shadow, being new to 10mm there's a lot of useful info there for me.

I took my new Colt Delta Elite out for the first time yesterday. I shot 100 rds of Armscor and 100 rds of Freedom Munitions 180gr RNFP. Before shooting I emailed Freedom to make sure their ammo would be safe in a Delta Elite with non-ramped barrel, since Armscor is rated 990fps and Freedom Munitions is rated 1250fps. She assured me that it would be safe and that the velocities they are measuring aren't exactly 1250fps. Having said all that, The Freedom Munitions was a little snappier than the Armscor, but I also got better groups with it. For the money, you can't beat it. I will be purchasing more in the near future.

The Freedom ballistics are about the same as the Underwood Colt Delta Elite load. So you should be good to go!

Edit: I just saw Intercooler's chrono post, and the Freedom is doing more like 1060.

Ughh...

It's pretty soft! Remington and LAX perform better! FWIW LAX is offering "New" rounds for about the cheapest out there right now too.

Thanks for the info. LAX is currently unavailable, but I'll keep my eye out for it.

I think GunBot is a little messed up. They show these in stock: http://www.laxammo.com/ammunition/handgun-new/lax-ammunition-new-10mm-180gr.-100rd-w-tray/25-895

Click on the link and out of stock! ${$default_shocked_smiley}$

I bought 500 rounds of the Freedom Munitions and have shot about 100 of them so far. It's good range ammo. I'll buy more. I've shot thousands of rounds of Freedom Munitions in 9mm, .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .45 ACP and .223 with zero problems. I do feel FM loads their ammo on the light side, specially in .357 Magnum and 10mm, but it's decently priced range ammo.

The Remington UMC is warmer than Freedom Munitions and is good stuff. No experience with LAX yet.
