Hornady Custom 10mm 170gr XTP The real one!

[Intercooler]

    My seller delivered the real Hornady 170gr XTP's today. He told me the boxes had "New XTP" stickers on them. I think these were the transition from what The Shadow had here: http://10mm-firearms.com/factory-10mm-ammo-pull-downs/hornady-frontier-cartridge-(old)-170gr-tc-jhp-pull-down/  and the new 180's we see today. I'm curious to see if these actually are 170's or 180's. This box had the barrel length and MFG ratings. I snapped a picture and wonder why they watered things?

They were better back then...Real Deal!

I just wonder why the change?

[The_Shadow]

Guns that lack chamber support showed signs I suppose!

  That must be it in any case we have seen (MFG's backing off). I don't think they are saving that much on powder cost by dropping it back.

The real deal is right, wish I could get that stuff.

 These did okay. Pretty close to being real 10mm.
