Cool...for the casual shooter.

And I really don’t mean that to be derogatory; I think most people qualify as casual shooters...only burn a couple hundred rounds every month or, at the most.

Nice. I'll be sure to look for them whenever they open "essential" stores here.

I would imagine 95% of shooters don't fire 500 rounds a year.

I could be wrong though.

You could be,

But I don’t think you are.

And if you are, I’ll buy you a beer.

Been looking for them. Want to get a couple boxes for my collection and purple is my favorite color.

Seems like a lot for practice ammo. Probably just as easy to get two boxes of carry ammo. Luckily the hard ball ammo I use for practice has same point of impact as my carry ammo.

I’ve found that until you get out past 25 yards or so... very few shooters will notice a marked difference between their practice & carry ammo.

To me it would be better if they sold this ammo separately - maybe they do. I would want to shoot it at a rate of 500-1000 rounds of the practice ammo to 50 rounds of the carry ammo, ballistics and performance being the same. 50 rounds will about cover my XDM and a spare mag for carry.

That said, in my XDM, I cannot tell much difference in recoil or performance at self defense distances from 3 to 25 yards (indoor range) between my typical 115 grain ball practice ammo or my EDC 124 grain +P self defense rounds. The XDM is so heavy it really doesn't seem to matter. I imagine if I were shooting a lightweight 9mm the +P rounds may show more difference.

Roughly $58.00 if you bought them separately. Not really a deal, IMO. I like HST and I like the Syntech Ammo.

I can reload at 1/3 the cost and use HPs at that! Not for reloaders for sure!
