Anyone ever shot any of this? I had heard good things about this ammo, and its reasonably priced.

I was shooting this stuff out of my M&P VTAC and although it fed fine, it seems like its loaded very light. Very little recoil, cases just barely coming out of the ejection port in all directions(landed on arm, down shirt, on top of hat bill.

I threw some notoriously weak 9mm Tula through the gun and the difference was night and day. The cases shot out of the gun landing in a neat pile to the shooter's 3 o'clock. Recoil was very noticeable.

Is that a fairly common experience for this type of ammo? I know they use xtreme plated bullets, and they are factory reloads. Not sure what powder they use.

Never heard of them, despite being in the same state. You might have better luck contacting them directly, http://www.wrcartridgeco.com/. They appear to be a small outfit and only open their store Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM. They need a new website.

That's not even a good website for mid-90's...

Saw them at the last show at the Dome, they seemed like nice people. Have only shot their 300 BLK ammo. Didn't seem too bad.

I got more info on the ammo. It was some stuff I bought about a year ago and supposedly they used a light charge of csb-1 powder. They offered to exchange it.
