Where did you get the Speer TMJ? That's a different one than I have and different powder.

[The_Shadow]

Found it on the police range so I decided to do a pull down of it.  Casing is stamped 14 for 2014.  At first I thought it was Silhouette, but the charge weight is too high for it to be Silhouette.  Looking at the AA# 5 +P data shown, it is even higher than that but the COL is longer and the bullet has a concave base.

[Intercooler]

Are you positive on the part number?

[The_Shadow]

Part number may be different, but most all of the Speer Lawman 115gr TMJ show the same number. The only change was the powder and the charge weight.

[Intercooler]

Hmmm... My box was labeled 53615 and had BE-86. I wonder why they use two different part numbers for the same ammo?

[The_Shadow]

I see what you are saying they could be the 53615, as the 53650 is shown as the same when I was looking for the advertised data...

[Intercooler]

Could it have been when they switched to the new BE-86 they changed the part number as well.
