Running it across a chronograph, I found the ammo was very consistent with five-shot extreme spreads being less than 20 fps. The ammunition worked flawlessly in a variety of handguns. I have shot the existing HPR ammunition in 9mm and found it to be a very reliable performer. HPR Black Ops 9mm Ammunition Specifications Lighter bullets also result in lower felt recoil, so these rounds are likely to be very easy to shoot. Standard pressure loads result in lower felt recoil and less wear on the pistol when compared to the +P loadings. The HPR loads are not listed as +P or +P+ loads, so the 1250+ fps is coming from a standard pressure round. Granted, there are existing loads with 115-grain bullets that can achieve those speeds, however, they do it by increasing pressure substantially. By dropping the bullet weight to 85 grains, HPR is able to get 1259 fps from a 4″ barrel. There are exceptions to this, but those are the common bullet weights.Īll other things being equal, it is easier to drive lighter bullets to higher velocities than it is to increase the speed of heavier bullets. Normally, manufacturers will load a 115 grain, 124 grain or 147 grain bullet for 9mm. The 9mm load uses an 85 grain bullet, for example. The jacket and core are designed to separate when striking soft tissue, yet hold together and track straight when encountering an intermediate barrier such as auto glass, sheet rock, and car doors.Īs mentioned above, these loads use lighter-than-typical bullets. The OTF bullet has a powdered metal core with a jacket. 223 Rem is said to be available soon.Īccording to HPR, the bullets used in the new ammo are Open Tipped Frangible (OTF) projectiles. Using lighter-than-typical bullets, the new HPR Black Ops ammunition promises to deliver superior accuracy and “unparalleled takedown force.” Initially, the Black Ops ammo will be offered in 9mm.
