[QUOTE="ripnbst, post: 2708391, member: 16136"] Here's my take on the stuff. I wouldn't run it as defense ammo if it was a nickel a round. It's light for caliber by design. The gaping hole in the center may be great for expansion but at the cost of weight. Weight means momentum once it's on its way and low momentum means poor penetration. The round by design fragments into smaller sections so now your light for caliber to start with bullet is now 5 different even lighter portions of what once was whole. So no you've got several different projectiles making several small wound channels none of which will likely result in a through and through. Overall regardless of the marketing if you look at it for what it is the science is extremely underwhelming. Does it look cool? Sure does. Does it perform? I'm betting my life it's not as effective as heavy for caliber Federal Hydrashok or Speer Gold Dot or Hornady Critical Duty. [/QUOTE]
