Actually, these are answers to get around the Federal Ammunition patents on EFMJ (Expanding Full Metal Jacket) technology.
In a mistake, last summer, Federal Ammunition offered MidwayUSA some production mistakes (weight varied from 123gr to 125gr) on their 9mm 124gr EFMJ bullets. I was lucky to get some of these (Federal does not normally offer its line as components).
After some experimentation, I settled on 6.6gr of HS-6 under these bullets. Very accurate and expands always.
Is Hornady offering these as components, or must we buy the loaded cartridges?
