defense ammo

I'll put my faith in collected after incident reports. I just wish there were more comprehensive reports available.

The only real data that matters is how many rounds it takes to stop the perp from continued aggressive action. That will vary based on many factors which should be recorded in as much detail as possible.

So you don't believe the ballistic test except when the favor your opinion.
That's cool.

No, but I know that the temporary cavity in the gel that they claim is “massive damage” is not that impressive; gel is not, and was not ever designed to measure temporary cavity; simply permanent cavity and depth.

Agreed. But my woods guns don't get much collected reports against my locals ( mtn lion, black bear brown bear, grizzly, wolves & moose)

And my woods guns are loaded with what has been proven to work on dangerous game for decades (centuries, even).

Heavy weight, hard-cast lead flat nosed bullets pushed hard.

My woods gun is bigger than yours.

There. Settled.






Carry on.

I wanted to add that I got the ammo from https://www.velocityammosales.com/
I ordered on Sunday, and tracking info Monday

Personally, I don’t buy the snake oil of the “screwdriver tip” or “fluid transfer” rounds...they’re just the latest iteration of lightweight, warpspeed bullets that are always found to be lacking in the long run.

I just see expensive FMJ when I look at their tests.

In the end as long as you have tested the specific ammo in your gun, any good brand will do the job.

Is a bad guy going to care if the jhp opened up to .475" or only to .395" ? Probably not, especially if it lands in vital areas. Dead is dead.

I wonder if it's just rebranded HiShok (Federal’s generic JHP line).

My first thought. Then I see no .45 listed and they made HiShok in .45
