    I have some and have used them. Good buy for the price. It was suggested to me by a member to not load them super hot.

    IIRC Berry states 1250fps max velocity.

    I'm kind of curious why they chose that velocity. I have pushed lead far faster than that, and powdercoated bullets can be pushed even faster. From what I remember of plated bullets, that plating is on there pretty good, kind of like how powder coat is. I'm not seeing a reason why you couldn't push them faster.

    I load my 9mm pretty light, just enough to cycle the gun. 10mm and .44 mag, well, I like a little heat on those bad boys!

    Yesterday was my first time shooting my G20. Actually the first time I have ever shot 10mm and the first time I have ever shot my own 10mm handloads.

    I was pretty tired after shooting my 300wm and 8mm mauser all day so even though I didnt shoot well, I had a shit eating grin on my face after firing off the faster rounds I loaded. Felt like a semi-auto .357 magnum or something

    When I first got my Glock 20, I was a little disappointed. The factory ammo I got was no better than .40. The Sig was a little better, but it cost twice as much too. But being able to hand load has changed the game. You can push those 180 grain bullets pretty hard!

    I've told the story before where I had some "off the shelf" 10mm, which was actually slower than the WWB .40 I was also shooting.

    That Sig stuff runs a 180gr bullet at 1250 fps. Love shooting it and it's worth the cost for factory IMO.
