Black Talon 10mm 200G

[Wolfie]

Was in upstate NY over the weekend and hit a local gun store in the middle of nowhere.

Asked if there was any 10mm and the guy said just a couple of boxes of old stuff.

2 boxes for $26 each. Cartridges are like new with no pitting and even the box was good except the flap were they had the price stickers.

Bought them to collect don't know if I will shoot off a box.

Awesome find! Congrats.

They work... are .40-lite. Probably best to just collect them and maybe down the road sell them.

I suppose I should have elaborated on my earlier though: scoring two boxes of those for ~$52 means that you paid about half of what I've recently seen them going for... Another few years and those might well be going for closer to $100 than $50 per box. I agree with Intercooler: don't shoot them, if you can help it.

I have a box of Winchester Black Talons I bought when they first came out, I use to carry with them in my 1006.  I only shot one of them to finish off a wounded deer that my brother in law shot.  I will say the bullet opened up exactly as advertised despite the 980 fps rating.   Thanks to Intercooler who spared me one he set me for pull down evaluation, I still have a full box.

I saw the reviews on these including here and was not impressed.

But they are sort of a "legend" round and decided to grab a box for collecting only. Then I said why not buy both and blow off a box too.I will just keep both boxes for now, as they do look sharp dressed in chrome and black. I will wait till my boy is of age and shoot a box with him.

Underwood 200 gr XTP's are better.

Nice!

I'm a tiny bit jealous... but I still prefer my Underwood 155gr XTPs over just about everything

Someone needs to load one at 10mm speed and gel test it.
