Lindsey used Black Hills Ammunition 115 Grain FMJ and 115 Grain JHP EXP for all of the testing. Black Hills Ammunition has outstanding consistency for duty ammo. Both of these loads are non +P cartridges, which use moderate chamber pressures. The FMJ almost duplicates the performance of the duty cartridge, giving an agency a training round that matches the JHP EXP duty cartridges. The non +P JHP EXP runs 1200 fps in this gun, which is great performance.
