You are better than me telling Power Pistol from BE-86.

I just shot some of this SIG SAUER Elite Performance ammo that I got on Sept 14, 2015 from Cabela's - Sorry no chrono data. I was not impressed. I was expecting more kick. 200 grain 45 Super felt more powerful, but I won't know for sure until I have chronograph data.

I think my bullet is a little different than the one pictured. The bullet in my S.S.E.P ammo has a larger radius from the side to the meplat. It could just be an optical illusion. I will try to upload a picture later.

Some of the primers looked tarnished (dark brown to black). It looked like brass that had been sitting in the dirt for a few months.

my_old_glock, You are going to get a different feel when shooting heavier bullets than lighter, also some powders yield more blast and boom based on their makeup.  About the primers, The Sig Sauer Ammo Large Pistol Primers are Brass (with bronze coating).  They were coated with this bronze coating of some sort, not sure if it is a type of sealant or not...

I enjoy shooting the Blazer 200 grains when I can find them.
