Hornady has some new ammo out for 2017 called the 'black' line. Particularly I am talking about the supposedly new SBR ammo.

Has anyone tried this stuff yet? (What about the old stuff too?) Per the video below it's got a proprietary propellant and sort of crosses over pistol and rifle technology.

On the spec's page they are claiming 2321 fps out of an 11.5" barrel. It seems a slight bit faster compared to their previous 'TAP SBR' ammo. (50-60 FPS difference). It basically seems like a 2nd generation of TAP SBR ammo with a new propellant and a new bullet.

It claims a 15% temperature reduction for suppressors as well as a 6 to 7 DB reduction in sound signature.
