Seems low compared to what I saw. I need to look this one up!

Hey thanks for posting these over here ${$default_smiley_smiley}$ I have a few more to upload. It seems the Sig was the only one I've tested that's actually 10mm specs. The others all have been barely better than .40S&W

S&B is only somewhat affordable 10mm ammo where i live. Its rather mild which is why i reload now.

I didn't know it was that weak. The price is the only reason I buy this.

Wow!! the stuff I chrono last Aug was doing 1150-1160 fps through both my Colt Delta and my Kimber, as a matter of fact it wasn't that much slower then the Win Silver Tip stuff that cost alot more !! and was about = to the Rem ammo which also is alot more $$
I like the S&B ammo and whenever I am runing low on brass to reload I will open up a new box and shoot it so then I have newer brass for my reloads. Works for me ${$default_smiley_smiley}$

Great for kids and new shooters. Especially if a 10mm is the only handgun in your arsenal. And lets be honest. Don't we buy 10mm in part for its ability to fill almost any role, mild to wild.

Not great by 10mm standards. But at least they are offering a 10mm.

We will have to get Intercooler to keep harassing S&B to bump up the loading like he did with PPU. ${$default_wink_smiley}$

PPU is loaded hot now?? Did I miss something? I do remember last year when I first got my Colt and bought some ammo so I would have some brass to work up some loads. I got some Rem ,Win and Sig ammo and I recall that the 1st Sig stuff was loaded hotter then the other 2 lots I got through the course of the summer, and it was by alot like 75fps. I still have all 3 lots and the 1st stuff is loaded hotter I will chrono them all at the same time ${$default_shocked_smiley}$

Not loaded hot by 10mm standards. Though Intercooler did get them to increase the velocity by 100 fps or so, I believe.

Weird. I ran 5 rounds from two boxes over a friend's chrony last fall and it averaged ~1160 fps out of my G20. Wonder if the lot variation is that severe?

AlaskaWill · February 17 2017 11:39:26 PM MST

i dont have a chrono, so i trust what i read here. may have to buy one soon. S&B should stand for Sh%t and bull@&it.
weaksauce.

I might have some to run again. This same tester gets some low ones compared to my findings every so often. I was in the 1150 FPS range myself.

Blades · February 18 2017 07:07:03 AM MST

We should all email S&B. ${$default_smiley_smiley}$

Pablo · February 18 2017 07:09:24 AM MST

I am all like bummed out now.

Bought a case thinking 1100fps. Plus. Because S&B in other calibers has been on the warm side. Now depressed.

YES let us ALL contact S&B
