Got Some Ammo

[Blades]

Nice!

My 29 year effort of stashing 10MM ammunition. As you can tell, some of it I have had a very long time.

Very Nice old ammo stash, much of those have been document here to preserve the history.
I was hoping you might have a box of the 165 grain Norma which we are missing in our Pull-Down documentations

Very nice! Did you ever by chance put that Norma over a chrono?

The 170 JHP we did, way back in 1989. If I remember we averaged around 1290 fps with it out of my DE. Never checked the 200gr stuff. I had a friend who was really big into reloading and he had the perfect range setup with a very nice chronograph.

More closeups.

Not bad. And it is interesting to see how the original 10mm was loaded back in the day.

Thanks for the post.

I only wish I could have gotten to do pull-downs on the very original loadings the were over 1200 with the 200 TC and close to 1400 with the 170 JHP.    The 165 grain NORMA still has not been documented. 

None of the pull-downs equaled the weight shown in this NORMA load data I have from back in the day!  Nor does the R-123 powder exist any more to test with.

The 165 was actually shown to be 170 from what I recall. The two should be the same if that information is correct.

Boy, you had me drooling but at least I got a good deal on these: 

1000 rounds for $180. For my G29 with a 40sw barrel.
