I think I sent two so we could see how they do with loading.
What did you think about the quality? Looks good what powder and charge they use for plinking ;D
Would these be FMJ or TMJ? Thanks!
I'll pull the other, but Power Pistol meters very well so I suspect it will be very close. Let me measure it! Done 7.6 grains just like the other one... 8)
TMJ but appears to be plated type...
Not sure how I missed this pull down. that velocity looks good for range duty since the major factory stuff is so slow and weak. I hope I am in a position to grab some of this when they get brass in. I look at gunbot a few times a day and LAX showed up and I got all amped up to buy some, but alas they changed the way they list products on their site. I clicked the link and it said out of stock. WTH?? they always take down unavailable items, but I checked their reload handgun section and everything is listed but not in stock. >:(
at least they have some 9mm in stock new production with speer brass for 27 cents a round for a case. probably good range ammo based on IC's testing so far. if I needed any more 9mm I'd be all over this: http://www.laxammo.com/ammunition/handgun-new/lax-factory-new-9mm-cci-speer-casings-115-gr.-1000rds/25-686
It's probably the best priced practice fodder at the moment.
