Shoot those into something like a yote, and come back and let us know how they worked. BTDT. They suck.

Lost River 148 grain +P flat point hardcast

I've chrono'd Lost River Ammunition Company factory 148 grain +P hard cast out of the standard Sig P365 and a P365 XL.

Standard P365 (3.1 inch barrel): Average 989, High 1003, Low 981, Extreme Spread 22, Standard Deviation 8.8 (5 shots)

P365 XL: Average 1061, High 1068, Low 1048, Extreme Spread 20, Standard Deviation 8.2 (5 shots)

Edited to Add:

I did this gonzo test a few years ago before Mackay was manufacturing ammo. It is the Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman round, marketed as 147 grain +P. Mackay can weigh in, but I think he uses the same bullet. Chrono results on that were Average 1010, High 1035, Low 994, Extreme Spread 40, Standard Deviation 11.8 (10 shots). I would expect the same performance from Mackay's rounds. I also found that Buffalo Bore is more expensive and the lots I have frequently do not fit in a 9mm case gauge. Note that I said Jug 4 a bunch of times when it really was jug 3.



Thanks for sharing those numbers and the link. I wouldn’t want to be in the way of that bullet.

Ranger 124 gr +P and Federal HST 124 gr +P.

I am still pretty well supplied with this stuff, and I don't think I'm at any disadvantage with it.

Thank god we have lots of options. Even plain old FMJ ball ammo which everyone seems to have, will save your behind.
