Apparently, the engineers at Federal Ammunition do not sleep much.
It seems they have an insatiable thirst for manufacturing top-shelf ammo.
The Federal Solid Core 10mm offering is one shining example.
But you might be asking, what exactly is Syntech?
Today, Syntech technology can be found in several defense, training and range ammunition offerings.
So, we stepped up and asked ourselves what we could do to make the shooting experience better.
The changing demographic of todays shooter was another factor.
In a lot of ways, theyre more critical and do more research.
Well, Federal engineers tackled these varied challenges head-on while developing Syntech.
Shooters who burn a lot of ammo at the range will appreciate this feature.
Personally, I like looking in the barrel andnotseeing copper or lead fouling.
And youre correct if you assume I dont like cleaning guns.
Whats not to like?
Im certainly no engineer, but I do know Syntech works.
The10mm loadfeatures a 200-gr.
Solid Core bullet, delivering plenty of punch for a big, mean hog.
The ammo is nicely packed in a 20-round box.
Syntech bullet is seated in a nickel-plated case ready for action.
I set targets up at 20 yards at the range.
Realistically, if a problem animal is encountered, the shooting distance could be relatively close.
After a few sight adjustments, the 1911 and the Solid Core ammunition got along just fine.
The ammo cycled flawlessly and there were not any malfunctions.
It wasnt any surprise to see satisfying groups from the pistol.
Both gun and ammo would provide well-needed confidence if you find yourself in an unfortunate circumstance.
I shot off-hand from twenty yards or so, whacking the steel plate.
This was a good practice session and much more entertaining and practical than target shooting from the bench.
Conclusion: Not Standard Hard Cast Ammo
In a few weeks, Ill be in Alaska fishing.
I dont anticipate any problems, except getting my line broken by a big salmon.
