I was hoping you would test these over the weekend. Must be too busy BBQ'ing hamburgers and hot dogs!

The weather has been good for it.

I think I might load up this morning and check them out.

Looks like the same projectile American used to load I their.40 frangible ammo.

Guys, I hate to drag a really old thread back to life but after shooting 20 rounds of Team Never Quit 125 Grain frangible today I have to admit I'm impressed,

I was at an indoor range trying out a new Ruger SR1911 and firing the usual PPU and Sig factory ammo to get an idea of how it would handle. The first 10 rounds of TNQ was almost a single hole at 7 yards, had two flyers which were likely the shooter and not the gun or ammo.

Looking at the older tests above I am wondering if this would be good SD ammo. Any gel tests on this?

My google-foo didn't turn up any tests on this specific frangible load.  But I did find this choppinblock video on another 125 grain frangible round from sinterfire:

About what I would expect from frangible ammo.  Doesn't make minimum penetration and doesn't hold together.  Most like result is a very messy flesh would.  I would expect the TNQ to be similar.

Good varmint medicine though.  And the accuracy will really help with small varmint targets.

The TNQ load feels like Underwood .357 Sig ammo to me. Could b a bit hotter in 10mm but still not a bad load.
