This powder is probably a proprietary blend of their own?

AA#5 fits the profile but velocity is lower...
AA No.5 165 SIE HP 8.7 1,122 9.7 1,275 36,200 1.250
RamShot Silhouette is also very close...
Silhouette 155 HDY HP XTP 8.8 1,255 9.7 1,355 35,400 1.260 
WSF and AutoComp are also in the ballpark...

Is that one of the next batch? Kind of looks like Kevin's 9mm.

[The_Shadow]

It is simular to the 9mm of Kevin's, it maybe slightly smaller kernnels and not quite as silver in color...

I wish it was truly pushing 1225. I think Doc clocked it at 1170.

Is this ammo only available from Cabela's?

[The_Shadow]

It is probably available at other locations, but during these times it may not be in stock at every outlet.

Is this ammo only available from Cabela's?

Cabela's lists it as an "exclusive" from their stores.

Like Shadow said, someone else might have it but that would be hit or miss.

Here it is as listed on the Hornady website:

How is this in a Delta Elite?

[Intercooler]

Shouldn't be an issue in the Delta.


I put a 10mm DoubleTap in my order with the .44's

1 x 10mm 200gr. Nosler JHP 20rds.


I will send you a couple of these and also Chopinbloc for gel after I Chrony them.

I have shot a bunch of these out of my Glock 20 and it is a middle load. Not full power but not light either. I think it is a Cabelas only ammo though as I have never seen it anywhere but there.

1256 here. I think my Match loves 155-165's best.

[4949shooter]

Somebody just picked me up 4 boxes of this at Cabelas.

I wish it were a bit faster but I will take what I can get right now.

Is this ammo only available from Cabela's?

Yup.  At least for now it's a Cabela's Exclusive.
