I would love to see 357 SIG (115/147) and 45 (230).

In the wild dreams territory: 7.62x25 and 5.7x28.

How about some stuff for a .44 mag. Specifically designed for the Ruger Super Redhawk? Rumor is they can handle some pretty warm loads.

BTW, Mike loves to hear this kind of feedback so I am going to put this in his forum to make sure he does not miss it. :)

Mike is planning to work up the .380 to a respectable level of performance!

How about (gasp) +p+ 9mm? Otherwise, a stout hardcast .44 mag load would be very nice....REALLY NICE would be a serious hardcast .45 LC load. B-)

To tell you the truth, I have yet to fire a Kel-Tec. However, being an avid collector (a.k.a gun nut), I was thinking about getting one..

We are open to ALL suggestions! Keep them coming.
FWIW, we are coming out with some .45ACP offerings by the end of the year. .44 Mag will be soon to follow along with 9mm and .380. Gunfan is correct, we have a 102gr Golden Saber loading that SMOKES from a 380!

Very cool! :mrgreen:

Mike, I have a Star PD....you think your .45 ACP load will be too much for that gun? I shoot 230 grain JHP from it now...the recoil is fairly stout, but controllable.

You think that your upcoming .380 load out will be too much for the Kel Tec P3AT?

Mike, I also would like to know about the load and the P3AT.

BTW, what about a load for the P32 Kel-Tec?

Might look into making some affordable .50 AE, .50 Beowulf or .500 S&W ammo . Have to check the market out a bit first but I bet a lot of guys who got these guns would stock up on "plinking" ammo if it were available. Sticker shock of the guns is nut'n compared to the premium hunting ammo that seems to dominate the avilability in these rounds. Some Speer 300 gr FMJ makes some relatively economical ammo when you're competing with $1.50-$4.00 per shot. Don't have to sell much of it to make some signifigant return.

I have a P220 in 38 Super, and would love to see some offerings come out that are as hot or hotter than Cor-Bons. Any chance of 125 or 130 grain fmj 38 Super to equal your 125 grain fmj 357Sig?

Thanx Mike for finally coming out with a .40 cal that has performance of a 10mm!The ballistics of the 165gr .40 FMJ is very impressive. I wonder what the velocity and energy of your new round looks like out of the Glock 35.

P.S. how were you able to achieve these type of ballistics from a round at 28,000 psi. I thought the typical .40 cal was much higher than this.

The SAAMI max for the .40 is 35,000psi. Most maufacturers are running 31,000-32,000psi when I test them for pressure. We are able to get the velocity without high pressures through a lot of R&D!
-Mike

BTW, from a G35 the 165gr GDHP and FMJ Match should get in the 1325fps range!

Keep up the great work Mike! How much energy does 1325 fps produce from your 165 gr .40? Is it close to 600 pounds?
