I'd think that should be adequate for making sure that it runs well.

And the potential for this is why with *any* round I carry, I bite the bullet, and run a couple of hundred rounds of it though the gun I intend on carrying it it before I trust my life to it. It doesn't matter how good the terminal ballistics are, if it fails to feed, you're in a world of hurt.

I'd suggest that the *minimum* amount of testing that you should do with any carry load is a full magazine's worth through each and every magazine you intend to carry, to make sure the system is reliable from beginning to end.

I'd agree with mr surveyor. I'd be comfortable trusting it. As long as your gun eats it properly, (which is an issue with any load) it's a good SD round.
