We developed this product expressly for the competition shooter, who wants the best in performance, reliability, cleanliness and a significant reduction in lead exposure.
We used Berry's Hollow Base Round Nose (HBRN) 9mm projectiles for maximum rifling engagement and bearing surface; that directly translates to accuracy down range. Perfect power factor for minor pistol competitions, this ammunition will give you that competitive edge without breaking the bank. Our sponsored competition shooters use this ammunition, and you should too.
Cleanliness is a MUST; we want your optics to stay clean and your field of view less obscured by smoke. We found one propellant that stood out, once we were happy with the performance, cleanliness and temperature stability. We lab tested the ammo with core temperatures of 20°F and 125°F, finding no measurable difference in velocity (range for testing was a static 68°/43% for the air density questions) and power factor. All testing was performed with a Lab Radar AND a Garmin Xero C1 in tandem. The HBRN projectiles totally eliminate lead fouling in the bore, and more importantly, the projectile being fully encased in copper significantly reduces airborne lead exposure to the competitor. If you handle a lot of ammo and shoot often, you know your blood lead levels are important to stay on top of.
We load with a stated power factor of 130. Our load testing has been extremely consistent, and it shows; this results in repeatable performance.
It's more than just a bang. We ran the ammunition in Glocks, Dan Wessons, and CZs. We tested for muzzle rise, for your quick follow up shot. We want your sights on target as fast as possible, so this too was a consideration as we moved forward. Our best results in a Sig X5, for the 124 grain, use a 14# spring. The CZ should run 11# recoil and main spring.
Accuracy and speed are everything with competition shooting. We can't control how fast you move or shoot, but we can build a round that will land on target, if you can get it there. Through extensive testing, the round has proven to be exceptionally accurate, dropping long distance steel poppers, with a hot barrel at the end of long stage.
Our competition product is built and inspected by a single press operator, with quality being the focus of our production, not speed. Each round is visually inspected twice by the press operator for imperfections or blemishes, and again by another team member before final packaging.
We have chosen cost effective "bulk packs" to help keep costs down. We are offering a limited run of 50 round boxes to try them out.
