Hornady Black 4.6x30mm HK, 38gr Vmax

Not a bad showing from this 38gr Vmax. I think penetration is a little lacking, but this is only one of a few 4.6 loads. It doesn't have the construction to resist IIIA :(

Thanks to SG Ammo: ...

Hornady 5.7

Hornady is sending us a few boxes of both types. I wish they sent more of the FTX to see how it would run in P90 but we’ll have to make due

Hornady Black 5.7x28mm- 40gr Vmax

Scheel’s has the new Hornady Black 5.7.  They say it’s their own brass. I don’t have any before you all but I’m pulling this month’s Patreon funds to buy 8 boxes.  2024-02-20 15:24:19 +0000 UTC View Post

LAPG Multi-curve IV (SIC)

I would say this is an improvement quality wise over the ultra budget Alumina single curve, but that does come at a cost increase of $100. That puts this plate at $200 when on sale.  For $50 m...

9mm, Turan 115gr FMJ

More 9mm food from Turkey. This performed better than the Sterling, but still is slow on velocity. No weird case bulges, and it's sealed on both ends.

5.7 Vampire Fang 34gr Vangaurd Outfitters

This load had excellent function in all guns. I wonder how much hotter a 34gr load could be pushed, but it's nice to see some good velocity from the pistol barrels. Accuracy was more an acceptable,...

9x19mm, 115gr FMJ, Sterling Brass Case

Same results as the steel case ammo. We have some weird case expansion on the front of the case, not the rear. These loads are fairly slow but are FASTER than the steel case offerings.

9mm, 115gr FMJ Steel Case Sterling - Watch Out

They must be running some really thin cases with Sterling. I even noted the same weird forward case bulges on their brass case line. Velocity is in the gutter, but luckily it seems the price on thi...
