1160 fps from a 6" barrel. Pretty anemic stuff.

This kind of grinds my cookies. I mean S&B makes decently warm ammo in other calibers. I had some .45ACP from them a few years ago that was downright toasty. But. 10mm? WTheck? Why even bother making light 40SW LONG?

Yeah I know they all do it. But at least reach for for SAAMI. Meh.....grumble.........walks away.

If it was cheap enough I'd buy it for plinking.

  Is this just all catalog BS and will never make it to the outlets in the U.S.?

It's here, there's only one place I found it:
http://www.unammo.com/#1001

$0.38/round shipped

Anyone going to try some?  I'd love to see actual chrono results and a pull down. 
We all know the chrono can be +/- published by a bit.

Edit:
Google lists about 10 vendors that have it in their catalogs, but none have it in stock.  It appears to have only been added to catalogs as of late last year, so I imagine that it will start showing up as orders are filled.  The mfg. P/N is SB10A, FYI.

Intercooler

I will and send it for a pull-down if I can find it to order. I wonder what they rate it at?

It looks like it will be $14-$16 a box. If it has a little snap it will be a go to!

Why is it: ***380.00 shipped to lower 48 states***

$19 / box with the exorbitant shipping they charge.

Though still would be a good value if they are doing 1200 fps.

Did this ammo change? Is it now stouter?

Intercooler

Did anyone ever try it and report?

JMK

I didn't see any reports.  I can't imagine many people have it yet.

The website I linked above is the first and only place I have seen it available.  The others have added it to their catalogs but don't appear to have received their orders yet.

S&B says 355 m/s from a 150mm barrel, with a ME of 737 J. 
In English...
S&B says 1164.7 fps from a 5.91" barrel, with a ME of 543.6 ft-lbs

Let's get it tested before we give it the thumbs up/down. :)

1154 isn't bad for practice ammo at that price point.
