stansdds, the guns were a 4" S&W 5906, 4.7" SIG P210A, Dan Wesson PM9 5" and Marlin Camp 9 16".

Also found that while the primers were crimped, case mouth and primers were not sealed. The case mouths are very heavily crimped. Velocities in pistol length barrels was similar to the 115 grain Winchester and Federal +P+ I've tested. But in the 16" barrel, M1152 is well over a hundred FPS slower than the +P+. So I guess the M1152 is optimized for the military's new pistols. Given manufactuer's concern in general about selling higher pressure 9MM ammunition to the public, I'm a bit surprised the M1152 has been made available commercially. In any case, I like it and intend to buy more.
