Liking me some 10mm sig sauer 180gr fmj.  Gander mountain had them for $29 per 50 . I bought 2 boxes to try out . I shot 20 rounds today of the sig 180 fmj and 10 of my 155gr fmj underwood 10mm . I could barely tell the underwood was hotter. I was shooting steel flipper targets rated up to 30-06 . The underwood fragments upon impact,  but the sig's put a big a_s dent in it . Looks like the projectile has thick copper jacket , (Like 45acp ball thick) . These will make excellent penetrator rounds. I also like the thick cases. I compared it to some other brass and noticed how much thicker they are . I will  put the sig brass I'm my "precious" pile from now on . These will be my new go to target ammo for my big 10. Sorry remington umc,  you are conveniently available at my lgs ,but you cost $35 and are about 100 fps slower than sig fmj. I'll still use you from time to time when I'm in a pinch , but until you lower your $$$'s don't expect to see me much and also tell your buddy on the shelve next to you" Mr. American Eagle 10mm " that he just plain ol'sucks and I've never liked him . Ok rant over ,lol , but for real I'm very happy that Sig is making real 10mm ammo and not some long .40 s&w.  Sig 10mm will also help build up the supply so there will be more to go around . I wish Winchester would do a white box in 10mm  :D  - OR - Remington golden sabors in 10mm

It's really good ammo. Underwood has gotten really pricey over the years.

Very good ammo and fairly reasonable. The PBR stuff is really good for the price and real 10mm.

The Sig is good ammo and is one of my go to rounds as well.

You can look for it on sale at Cabelas.

Good to know. Local indoor range had them for $30/50 and I couldn't pass it up. Found it as I was leaving so haven't tried it yet.

The Cabelas sale was excellent, glad I bought a BUNCH of boxes. My only gripe is the ammo had almost no, if any crimp. Not a big deal in a 1006 or stock Glock, or another platform with a relatively loose chamber. But with an aftermarket Glock barrel, or my 10mm AR they don't feed well at all. BUT I ran them through my Lee FCD, and they now work perfectly.

Love the Sig FMJ ammo...
Bud's Gun Shop and Ammunition Depot have them for just under $24 a box/50 ...
That's hard to beat... or pass up.

FYI, Cabelas currently has bulk 200 round boxes for on sale for $95 with a free shipping code if you add a $5 box of .22LR or something.

I shot 2 boxes of said ammo and they are stout. Makes me wonder if they're bear loads but from what I've read here they must be. Gotta get more for stock.  8)
How powerful is 10mm? Well, see those craters on the moon?

Selway Armory has Sig Sauer 180gr fmj on sale for $19.99 box of 50.  Looks like they got about 26 boxes left.  They also gave the jhp on sale as well.
