Not great but not terrible.

I guess that I was hoping for a bit more out of this as well, once I'm able to actually find it.

150fps or so faster than the 40 S&W 180gr Bonded Defense but still a little too lukewarm for my taste. 

Not looking for thermonuclear.....  Just straight up, legit 10mm performance would suffice nicely. 
At a cost of $1.05 to $1.50 per round for run of the mill performance, no thanks.  No shortage these days of these kind of ballistic performance levels from major ammo manufactures. 

Hornady looks to still be at the front of the pack in my opinion for cost, performance in 180gr 10mm all around best value.  For non-loaders, Underwood and Buffalo Bore still best places to find the straight up real deal all the way up to nuclear stuff.

You gotta wonder what their Test Barrel is
i.e. 6" with a fixed Breach
It would be interesting to check these out of a 6.5" S&W 610
OR even a Levergun !

I just traded my Silver Dots out for these in my DTDC
