The seller had a copy of the HP White pressure test (including lot number) that went along with each purchase. I picked up one of the sheets for reference and so I will have to find it if anyone is curious about the exact number, but I know it was above 38,500 PSI. The boxes I examined said the ammo was made in Macedonia.<br /><br />Aaron<br />the gunshow obscure ammo guyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-31382368741364837982014-08-13T23:38:06.746-04:002014-08-13T23:38:06.746-04:00BG Miller beat me to it.

Ideally, the bore diameter of the 9mm is 0.354 plus or minus a few thousandths while the .38/.357 is supposed to be 0.357. In practice, I've seen bore diameters ranging from 0.350 to 0.370.<br /><br />A high pressure load developed in a Browning Hi-Power with a bore diameter of 0.358 will be dangerously high when loaded into a S&W with a 0.352 bore.<br /><br />Something that manufacturers seldom discuss is that they use one set of bore tools for all their 9mm/.38 caliber guns. In the past, Smith would measure 0.354 while Colt 9mm barrels would measure 0.357. The rationale is cost savings; the two calibers are close enough to allow one set of bore tools.<br /><br />In any case, you need to understand how these affect your gun and ammunition.Jay Deenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-55499116346013690232014-08-13T17:55:41.299-04:002014-08-13T17:55:41.299-04:00It's not my intent to be fulsome, but your pos...It's not my intent to be fulsome, but your posts are the sort that I wish more people would write. In this case, you provide some actual data, not just a "It kicked harder than I'm used to" or "Dude! This stuff ROCKS!"<br /><br />Ditto your ongoing posts about the PPX: you provide round count, photos to show wear (or lack thereof) and some thoughtful remarks about accuracy and performance.<br /><br />Again, I wish more people would take this sort of trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-60083343914481188032014-08-13T17:14:59.129-04:002014-08-13T17:14:59.129-04:00I tell you, for inexpensive 9mm ammo, check out Fr...I tell you, for inexpensive 9mm ammo, check out Freedom Munitions. $0.25/rnd for 124gr. reman or $0.27/rnd for 124gr new including shipping (flat $5 right now).
