Good idea, I'll have to do that. I get my new FNH FSN 9 Compact EDC in on Monday and will have to test the new ammo with it.

Well, that guy in green clothing might be yelling at me pretty soon. Studying for the ASVAB/AFQT right now....hopefully I'll be fighting tigers pretty soon. Setback is my main concern here, I could care less if I cosmetically damage the gun. All my firearms are tools and were designed to be...

OK, well I think I see where this is going and it's towards hard racking. So my next would be what is the maximum amount of times you would rack the same bullet? I usually put it in my range ammo pile after 4 times of the racking the same bullet so it won't cause bullet setback. Is this...
