So how 'bout that new 185gr 9mm ammo?

[JRuby]

The war's over, bub.. the .45 lost.

You know trying to make a 9mm perform like a 45 is just a waste of time. Why do you think standard 9mm loads cant make major. You got to really hot rod 9 to get it thier.

Will they consistently perform any better than HSTs (or Ranger Ts)?

Otherwise, these guys are wasting their t&m.

The 9mm has been used to kill everybody since 1902. JRuby says it's a wannabe.
You be the judge.

My .40 S&W pushes a 180gr Hornady XTP at 980fps for $.28 a round. Why pay 5 times the cost for an unproven round that likely won't chamber in Gen 5 Glocks due to their short throats?

Now, if that bullet weight became popular like 147gr has, then it would be an awesome choice.

You could have the capacity of a 9mm and the ballistics of a .40 S&W. But don't see a boutique round gaining traction at those prices.

I will be interested to see what they provide in the way of heavy projectile rifle chamberings

Unless it "annihilates the orange lung tissue and where it hit the ribs on the back, broke them" it's on the back burner for me.

I see Paul Harrell and some meat targets in our future.

IIRC, this composite brass made its debut in 9mm around a year ago.. they mainly touting its lightness and that you could reload it many, many times.

I haven't read all the posts on this thread, but I can tell you range practice with 147 grain vs. 115 the 147 g provides harder/harsher felt recoil.

185 Grain in 9 mm - nope.

If I want 185 grain, I'll move up in caliber.

$1.39/rd is what is being bantered about.

Reggie says GOOD LAWDY that's expensive...

Yet to try some 200gr JHP in 40SW picked up on a whim a month or so ago.
Not sure in 9mm I would want the OP ammo,

I am not a 9 MM fan, I do own a dozen and just bought a FN 509. I do like and use 9 MM, I just don't like it better than 40. I will shoot 115, 124 and 147 in that new 509, I discovered feeding issues in some guns with some 147 grain, so I test with as wide a variety as I can.
I quit buying 115 about three years ago, still have a ton, but I try to use 124 NATO for all courses we attend.
All that said, I am pretty interested in this new manufacturer, not just this new 9 MM loading, but what they have coming. Cost is important, but I will buy performance, as that is what I want to carry.
I do not carry 180 grain with my 40's I use 165 some, but UW 155 XTP's are my carry favorite. 1300 FPS gives them some authority.
