Just wondering if anyone has tried this ammo. I ordered 15 boxes of 180GR.FMJ of their premium line today.Much to my surprise it was in stock and 40 boxes of 200 GR ,and the price was pretty good.

Probably not what you are looking for, but I tried the 12 oz version of
Pabst Blue Ribbon when I was younger. It was ok, but not the best
ammo for that time period. :rofl::rofl::wavey::rofl::rofl:

It could be A9.I doubt that this manufacturer has the resources to procure a proprietary powder so is likely a canister powder. I don't know of any other

The lots of A9 previously made in Belgium were very round and dull/dark. Also very tiny. The newer USA lots made by St. Marks in Florida have granules that are a bit flattened and a bit of a shimmer in the right light. Very tiny granules Lots of A9 have been made by different manufacturers over the years and have different looks.

Yep, when the target is brain cells and the liver -- but not the wallet -- PBR is the right ammo.

Thanks for the info.Sounds like a good company as they didn't raise the price like most did. $20.50 a box is not to bad sense everyone else is out of stock. I really need to start reloading

That's IT? Slim pickings on reviews.
Today playing phone tag in order to fill an order w/credit card.
No one answers the only phone number given out/posted = a long message, no other options but to listen, then leave a message, then wait again for phone tag.
THEN they go to lunch and allow the FAX to answer callers?!?!?

At first they responded to website "contact us" messages with call backs but now prolonging the phone tag = new customers may place their loyalty & cash flow elsewhere.
Either you are in biz or not, so don't post as such.

IF ever this ammo comes, I'll share results upon request.
BTW a BIG NOTE to consider = these are LEAD, thus many if not most indorr ranges will NOT allow such and not so great to handle and then there's the cleaning issues.

The top 125gr FMJ/flat point 357mag ammo was HSM, no longer in production and my search proves thus far, all the rest far way short, e.g.

Armscor: accurate only to 22' w/duds + some bullets back out w/recoil shock, locking up cylinder

Magtech: dirty, unreliable as Armscor

Fiocchi 357F 142gr (ouch in 15oz snubby) FMJTC shoots 1-1.5" high, high recoil

Sig Sauer 125gr FMJ shoots bullseyes, high recoil

Choice One: #3 to HSM

Precision One: #4 to HSM

East Carolina Cartridge: #2 to HSM, 1-2 out of 50 will not fit into cylinder; some don't care for the "painted crusty" bullet

to be tested:

Ammo Valley

Parabellum Research

wish list:
Fiocchi in 125gr w/HSM recoil

A year ago (in the spring - summer of 2018) their place burned down :crying:. Every thing was lost. They have been slowly rebuilding the product line to what it use to be. When I last spoke to them, they had informed me that the 10mm will be in the line up in about months time. Parabellum (PBR) had a good 10mm line; I have no doubt that Para will have the same quality, and price point when the mighty 10 is on the shelves again.
My 2 main 10mm suppliers use to be Para , and Underwood. I'll be looking forward to having PBR back on line.
