I'm pretty sure that they are the same, but the 53927 is the SKU used for .gov users. Sort of like the Gold Dot G2 54226 and 54227. Same round, just a different SKU.
Olin seems to do this more than ATK, they offer most Ranger loads with .gov SKU such as Q4364 being the same as RA9B.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering. I knew personal use had a different number and was 20 rounds, just couldn't figure out why there were 2 numbers for the 50 round boxes.
The "927" (G2) needs a 5" barrel to expand correctly !!
DON'T use then in a 4" or less........................
One net test with a 3 and 4" barrel Failed......
a 6" at 1028 fps at ten feet, expanded in gel and 4G.

Thanks...Speer wrote me saying it they were identical, just 1 for LE and 1 for government orders. You make sense the government orders might be a little different spec. Wonder why 4 replies from different people at Speer say they are identical?
Sorry, I got my numbers mixed up.........
the 53927 and 23617 are +P 124gr 9mm loads.
23611 is the short barrel and the standard 23618 loading.
The 147gr G2 is number 54226, that needs a 6" barrel.
Usually the "53" is a 50 box and the "23" comes in a 20 box.
As a note;
you might want to weigh each load..........
my 135gr SB loads went from 210 down to 207grs in weight.
I only save the 209 gr loads or heavier for SD use.........
and shoot the light loads for practice, due to lower fps.
Good luck.
