Finally got around to shooting some of this HSM ammo today. Weather here in southern Oregon was perfect.
Rounds were shot out of a stock Glock 20-SF at 25 yards.
I found a box sitting with some other HSM ammo all by itself at the local Sportsman's.
Packaging is basic, they just grabbed 50 rounds, put them in a box and called it good.
I wasn't going to put this online, as it seemed pointless. It is highly unlikely anyone will see any ammo on shelves for a very long time, if ever… Now that we have this 'black cloud' hanging over us..
Well what the heck.. I took all the pictures..
Examining the rounds I found a COL of 1.243-1.246" and Starline brass.
Taking a look inside I found a powder charge of 7.8grs.
Here's a closer look;
Here is a shot of the primer;
The sample bullet weighed 200.2grs.
At the range I shot seven rounds. I still have this 'first shot is a flyer thing goin on..'
Aside from the flyer, I got a pretty good group from this ammo.
The target circles are 5½".
Case head measurements; .4340" .4340" .4340" .4342" .4332" .4339" .4338"
This is not wimpy ammo.. Velocity averaged 1086 fps and a spread of 26 fps.
Well, that's about it.. Be safe.
