Unfortunately no. My time has been and will continue to be limited for range time in the foreseeable future.

Absolutely, if it's not available, it shouldn't even be there. Customer service, or the lack there of says a lot

Hello guys!

I saw this thread pop up in our list of web referrals and I figured I would try to answer some questions based on the conversation.

1.  All of our 10mm ammunition uses factory new cases.  Recently, we switched to Jagemaan brass as they have a state of the art quality control system which uses machine vision cameras and measurement lasers to verify the dimensions of each piece of brass manufactured.  They're one of the only mid-market brass manufacturing companies in the United States that has such a machine, and we're confident in their product thus far.

2.  The 'FXP' line of products is our defensive ammunition.  We use Speer Gold Dot projectiles in all of these cartridges, regardless of caliber.  Based on our testing it's still the best performing projectile for expansion and penetration, and reasonably available in the quantities we need.  We use the same 180gr projectile in our .40 S&W ammunition.

3.  Our lead times for 'odd caliber' ammunition have been greatly reduced as of the last month due to better supplier connections.  We manufacture everything in-house, and we made a very broad variety of offerings.  We are also a family owned and operated small business without back-end support for customer service and such.  I try to answer customer inquiries as quickly as possible, but there are times when things do slip down the email inbox.  Rest assured, we take great pride in manufacturing what we think is the best 10mm ammunition for your money, and I apologize for anyone who saw a delay in receiving their orders.  We service eight local shooting ranges, we are extremely involved in IDPA/USPSA/3 Gun competition, and this summer has been a bit of a learning curve as far as anticipating order volumes.  However, we are shipping 10mm within 24-48 hours at this time.  We received an order for 1,000 rounds on Wednesday and it shipped Thursday, for example.

4.  Yes, we do load our rounds hot, just like we know you want them.  Personally, we are fans of 10mm and other calibers like .357 Sig specifically because they push the bounds of speed and energy.  If you guys have any suggestions for other projectile/load combinations, please don't hesitate to send us a message and we'll see what we can do.

We appreciate your business, thank you!

Thanks for sharing your business info with the forum here.  Many guys have expressed the potency of your 10mm products here and on Facebook's groups as well.  Jagemann's brass has shown good qualities in the testing I had done with 10mm.

I have to agree with the performance that Gold Dot bullets bring to the defensive situations.  I hoping that Speer will produce the NEW 200 grain Gold Dots out as components for companies like Fenix and the handloaders.

Best of luck in the ammunition market place, as the political winds blow from gentle breezes to EF-5 Tornado at times...

Yeah, this is good stuff. I bought a wolff 23# recoil spring to handle the power but I need a stronger mag spring to keep up with it as I was misfeeding.

I did fine with the Wolff 21# spring though. Glad you came to the 10mm forum and welcome.  8)

So what's everyone think regarding the 10mm Fenix 180gr loads? Looking forward to testing some out in the near future
Thanks

It's the hottest round I found so far. It'll do very serious damage to a large animal, two legged and four legged. Most likely blast through barrier with ease.

You're welcome. Can't wait to hear your report. I think I got 1250+ fps out of my G29.

I'd call that a pocket rocket.  :o

If it's accurate and doesn't blow anything up, I'll give it a run : )
