Don’t know.
Mine is circa 2008 and I’ve seen lots of crazy claims about my baby.
Tested em.
Dropped in water, fired fine.
Dropped in Sand, no problemo.
Dropped in Mud, all okay. (that was what caused me to clean it and I had wanted to clean it anyway. I clean my guns each time I use them but wanted to test it out for reliability.)
So have I. But, I didn't get to be an old dog by believing what I hear. LOL. So I stay on the cautious side of things and keep well inside the published specs. I did roll up some of those Barnes teflon coated copper jobs, but I eased back on the Reloader 12 to make sure I keep 'em under 2600.
I haven't fired any of them out of the SA, but I pushed a few out of an Ishapore Enfield I have just to check the velocity. They're right about where I want them, but I don't have any way to check the pressure curve.
So, they're just sitting there, waiting for a rainy day.
