Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crowns at Cabela's

Intercooler · July 16 2015 11:37:10 AM MDT

I'm going this evening. EAA 4.75" and 6".

I ran the FMJ's right after the V-Crowns.

Sig Sauer 180gr V-Crown
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1208, 1207. Average = 1207.5 FPS/583 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1247, 1251. Average = 1249 FPS/624 LBS

Sig Sauer 180gr FMJ
EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1230, 1227. Average = 1228.5 FPS/603 LBS
EAA Super Match 6" 1254, 1281. Average = 1262.5 FPS/637

The FMJ's look to be loaded a little stronger. Hopefully the pull-down will show something.

Those fmj's will make a nice practice load.

The Jacketed Hollow Point bullet being slightly longer they may have reduced the powder charge slightly... ${$default_roll_eyes_smiley}$

Still the V Crown seems to be a good load. We will have to wait and see the gel test.

Those are some pretty good results; for the performance and the price point they're at I think SIG is going to do quite well with these, at least in 10mm Auto. I see that both FMJ and HP are both in stock on the website so it's looking like they're finally building some stock!

Will this be anybody new carry round for self defense ?

The_Shadow · July 18 2015 05:17:52 PM MDT

We will know more soon as Intercooler sends them down for peek inside... ${$default_grin_smiley}$

But hey these are 10mm and I wouldn't hesitate to carry them...

10 4

Handful of gel tests of the Sig V-Crowns (9mm, 357 sig, .40) available online. Don't recall any of those jhp tests yielding overly *impressive results..... But never know, maybe they'll be great in 10mm.

Did you see Chopinbloc's?

I'm shipping him the 10mm version tomorrow for gel.

sgtbones · July 19 2015 02:05:07 PM MDT

Great news. I would like to ship him a few of my 10mm Ted Nugent 180 XTP.

Just picked up a few boxes at the Cabelas in Delaware, cannot wait to shoot them.

Although I follow Andrew's stuff; I'd somehow missed that one last month. Thx for pointing out.

Wow, the penetration was wild... 14" of ballistics gel, then another 12" (2 plastic gallon jugs) of water!!!
Still showing .554 expansion. Crazy penetration in that test.

Can't wait to see how the 10mm test does.

Bud's and Selway Armory have both JHP and FMJ in stock online at the moment.
