Federal Syntech Action Pistol 9MM 150Gr Total Synthetic Jacket 50 Round Box AE9SJAP1

Just followed a link on book face; I am looking into this ammo for Production and this was a pretty good price ($11.41/50) from what I’ve seen recently.

That's as low a price as I've seen on this ammunition, but the shipping is pretty high.

Dang you are right. $138/500 shipped to me.

I looked at Brownells through the p-f link. They have a sale going at $113.99/500, with shipping at $9.95. Win. [emoji4]

I ordered 500 to check it out.

My small order arrived. Chamber checks ok.

Will try it at the square range Sunday.

Shot 50 rounds of this Syntech today out of my stock G19.5. Feels fairly soft, impulse wise.

I have stock height rears and a 0.180” Ameriglo Front. Using a cover the dot hold, it seemed POI=POA for me. Did a 253 on a Vickers 300.

I bought a case of this ammo last week when Brownells had a $10 off $100 coupon and the ammo was actually in stock. Ran 50 rounds through my P30L today, and I was legitimately shocked at how light the recoil was while shooting Dot Torture. If I couldn't see my bullet holes, I'd have just assumed the first shot was a squib.

Going to pack another 100 rounds for an outlaw match tomorrow; hopefully it'll do me right. I can't see this replacing my standard "whatever's cheapest" 115/124 gr brass training loads, but I can see myself keeping a few hundred on hand for any application where a timer is involved.

If it is kinder and gentler to my aging wrists, hands, and thumbs, I am interested. I cannot do all of my training with .22 LR; some numbers of rounds need to be fired with centerfire ammo, for a greater degree of realism.

Shoot a heavy steel gun like a Beretta.

I saw a good deal of the Federal at the Steel Challenge match yesterday. If I were not a reloader, it would be a good choice.

The Federal Action 150gr is noticeably the softest shooting factory ammo I have tried.

The Federal Action 124 feels about like AE124 but a dollar or more a box more.

I have not shot either for groups at 25yd or 50yd.

[GJM]

The Federal 150 feels extremely soft when shooting. However, espite the feel, my times are faster when shooting American Eagle 115.

GJM, not to drift the thread...but. Do you think this has more to do with physics or psychology(perception) or a bit of both?
