Excellent as usual. What light set up are you running on the 35?

Keep in mind it was from a G3 barrel. Im not much of a .40S&W fan at all but this bullet seemed to perform pretty well.

Excellent performance. Have you tested any 180 GD's in 10mm? And (in .40), do you prefer the HST?

I have.
I don't really prefer one over the other---both have had nearly identical performance.
