Default Freedom Munitions with Hornady XTP Bullets

Anyone tried these for their SD/HD ammo?

I've been using the new Freedom Munitions 9mm 115 GR RN for target shooting at the range and it's been consistent so I decided to give the ammo mentioned in subject line a try - 124 gr instead of 115. Just curious if anyone has tried it and what their experiences/opinions are.

Thanks as always.

I've run a couple hundred of these very same rounds through my Shield with zero issues. I have a few hundred for backup should I ever run out of Gold Dot's, HST's or Rangers.

That's as far as I've tested them however. I don't own a chronograph.

You mention you use them as backup. Is there any reason why they couldn't primary use?

No reason on particular. I'm just set in my ways and trust HST's and GD's to do the job with fairly predictable results.

Cool. I was just wondering if there was a specific issue.

I know all about being a creature of habit...

I reload with Hornady XTP in all My Handguns and find it to be a good all around Bullet.
