Ordered some Fenix 10mm ammo

Just be sure your pistol have full chamber support.

[Kenk]

Absolutely  and Thank you!

[FenixAmmunition]

Also, be sure your grip is fully supported 

[Kenk]

Lol, always is!

You're shooting it through a glock. Do you use a aftermarket barrel?

[Olgo]

The original barrel. I think I have it confused with the 40sw barrel.

If his G-29 is like mine the factory barrel has enough support and he mentioned having the 21 lbs & 23 lbs recoil springs.  That helps with the dwell time in lock up.  I will caution that while these Glocks are CNC copies some may act differently than others allowing early unlock and increase the unsupported areas.   You need to test and inspect fired casings to see how things look.
Being a handloader helps because I can work several loadings increasing to see where things start to show case expansion above the 0.4340" of the factory chamber...

Having looked inside the Fenix ammo, it is up where others have loaded to.  But being loaded on progressive machines with powder drops the powder charge weights are up & down: example  Hodgdon LongShot  9.4/9.6/9.8/9.8/10.0 grains...

I will say when working this close to the edge of the upper performance I prefer exact precise weights (Match Grade).   In the words of Dirty Harry "A man has got to know his limitations!"

Absolutely

Hmmm that's a bit concerning. That's a lot of variance when running at the limits.

I guess as long they don't go over the top limit. Variations are usually the norm for mass production.

If they make match grade ammo then they'll monitor the powder very closely.

May just have to stick with UW for factory offerings

[FenixAmmunition]

Our max load is 10.0 grains, and we're confident in the equipment.  Variances will always occur with production ammunition regardless of what machines are used.  To date we have not received any complaints of an overcharged round or a damaged firearm with the specifications we are using. 

Looking at our data sheets, our powder checks are typically +- 0.2 grains on 10MM.  The lot numbers on our product correspond to actual data, and we keep those records for life.  Our powder drops are checked every 500 rounds for small run calibers and every 1,000-2,000 rounds for long run calibers like 9mm and .40 S&W, depending on what we're making and what equipment we're using.

Sounds good to me, Thank you!

Just bought some and tried it over the chronograph out of a 6" Kimber Stainless LS. Temperature was 81°F. Elevation 400 ft ASL. Humidity 29.93" Hg. Brass looked good.

Yep, what they advertised on their site.
