I put some down range yesterday and I was surprise the recoil wasn't bad at all; I also shot some 155 xtp hornady and they recoiled harder than the 175 Win STps! I thought there was a distinct difference in the recoil with the hornady 155 XTP recoiling harder. Those 155 XTP are some some bad Arsses or I need better recoil springs. I better order some wolf springs.Match10 said:They are pretty fair. I consider "full power", old-style, old data, 10mm to be +/- 1400 fps with 180 grain bullets. Those are a bit warmer than most, however, found today on the shelf.
S&W 1006. The recoil with the 155 XTP was harder to me but not unmanageable at all. I just thought they was hitting harder. I do know the XTP is newer ammo tech than the Win STps so maybe Hornady has up the power a little.Match10 said:What gun are you shooting?
Would you consider the 180 XTP to be close to a hot 10mm cartridge? I decided to use the 155 XTP as my anti personnel round.Match10 said:I handloaded 155 XTP back in 1990. I decided then that the 180 grain would be my "standard".
Hornady claims 1,265 http://www.hornady.com/store/10mm-155-gr-HP-XTP/ from a "5 inch test barrel."JMJ2 said:S&W 1006. The recoil with the 155 XTP was harder to me but not unmanageable at all.

BUY THEM AND TRY FIVE GUARANTEE.
If you buy these bullets, shoot FIVE of them (pershipment) and if you dont think they are what you expected. Contact me and send them back and i'll refund the cost plus basic shipping.
This applies if you shoot five. You must send back all but Five rds per shipment to qualify for this guarantee.
YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Close? Yes, but you can drive it much faster, and the XTP will not self destruct in the target when driven faster. It is a well constructed bullet that will retain its weight.JMJ2 said:Would you consider the 180 XTP to be close to a hot 10mm cartridge?
I'll second this one.. it's close, but the recoil is noticeably less than the Buffalo Bore "heavy" ammo. That is still the closest to a full power 10mm I've shot that wasn't hand loaded. They claim 1,350FPS and 782 ft. lbs. at the muzzle.Malum Prohibitum said:Close? Yes, but you can drive it much faster, and the XTP will not self destruct in the target when driven faster.

After I change the recoil springs I'll order some Buffalo bore. I've seen video of Double tap ammo 10mm and they showed excellent penetration through barriers but didn't show much expansion. I'll also pick up some Hornady 180 XTP real soon. I'm thinking the Buffalo bore can be used for non personnel shooting/hunting.vr6glidriver said:I'll second this one.. it's close, but the recoil is noticeably less than the Buffalo Bore "heavy" ammo.

Thats pretty good though. I think the original Norma specs was 180gr at 1200 fps.vr6glidriver said:They claim 1,350FPS and 782 ft. lbs. at the muzzle.
