 Edit: The factory ammo referenced above is SBR Ammunition's 240-gr load (Lot 190222, to be specific).  All loads using a 240-gr Hornady XTP through a 6.5" TDE ------------- http://bane.2hell.com" rel="nofollow - My Iraq Pics |

When you say "factory ammo" do you mean SBR ammo? Norma ammo?
Corbon ammo? Just curious. ------------- If you were happy and you knew it, would you clap your hands? |

Thats Cool! They look pretty close in power. My favorite loads are either 21.5 or 22-22.5gr of Win 296 under any 240gr jacketed bullet. Seems to work very well in that power range. Thankfully Starline keeps making brass so we have reliable cases. I hate forming brass, and I don't think it's very consistant if you do. Others may have a different experience but I don't like forming brass. Thanks for posting! I always enjoy performance info!!

| A guy on the 10mm forum does factory ammo pull downs. I sent him 2 of the SBR 240 grain loads and they are loading 23 grains of H110/296. |

That's what Buddy at SBR told me they are loaded at, just checking around to see if anyone has used them and there thoughts, I have heard nothing but positive comments unless I missed a post. So I guess it's like when in Rome, do as the Roman's do .

23 gr of H110/296, behind a 240gr XTP, is a fairly average/standard load. Although 22-22.5 gr is my "plinking load" that works reliably in my "shooter", I see why they may have gone .5 gr more, to e reliable in just about any AM without being "too hot". Quite a few people on here have talked about SBR ammo with nothing but positive from what I recall. I don't think you can go wrong with it. ------------- If you were happy and you knew it, would you clap your hands? |

Luvz2Shoot I have not heard one negative comment about SBR and Buddy is so easy to talk with  so that's why I just ordered 500 rounds this morning and am looking froward to taking this thing out for the first time, my grips should be here Monday. TTYS Ed
