Frequently Asked Questions

How does this differ from the TPD-9 coated 9mm Luger 115gr load? This version has a nickel-plated casing, while the sibling load uses a Black-TPD coated casing. The bullet and velocity data are the same.

What velocity does the maker publish? The maker lists 1140 fps from a 4-inch barrel with a 1:10 twist.

Are there any handling notes from the maker? Yes. Fort Scott Munitions says that if your usual ammunition is not solid copper or brass, you should clean your barrel thoroughly before shooting solid copper or brass, which it says improves accuracy and performance. It also notes that repeated cycling of an unfired cartridge can cause the crimp to fail and the bullet to loosen, which is more common with larger monolithic projectiles.
