Black Hills 180gr JHP and 180gr RNFP

[Intercooler]

   I'm trying to see if I can get more information before trading for them. They are 12-14 years old and might not be in boxes. If I had to guess they aren't smokers but probably shoot decent.

I don't remember pulling any of those, Black Hills was going to make the ammo for the VLTOR  Bren Ten re-make...
They do pride themselves as being accurate ammo.

  The boxes aren't marked Black Hills but I found a couple of pictures of the new stuff which suggests it's a match.

Wow those are loaded in mixed brass headstamps?     I don't recall Black Hills using used brass for their loads.

I guess years ago they did reloads like that. The HP looks like a match. I'm trading 150 rounds of 9mm FMJ for them

Picked them up today.


The owner said he suspects these to be loaded to FBI standards (1000-1050 FPS). We will see soon!

 About what I expected here.

  Black Hills TMJ EAA Limited Pro 4.75" 1087, 1068, 1069, 1087, 1075. Average = 1077.2 FPS/ 464 LBS

It seems they are below their actual potential, but seeing they are reloaded in various brands of brass, it is understandable that they would not be top pressure loadings.

   Hunter results for the TMJ's today.

EAA Hunter 6" 1085, 1131, 1149. Average = 1121.66 FPS/ 503 LBS
