He said that they are not deadly, more people survive being shot by hollow points the ones shot with ball ammo normally run or crawl off and die. While the ones shot with hollow point get medical treatment at the scene.

    I have been shot by 4 9mm rounds, 2 federal hollow points and 2 Barnes xtp solid copper. All at the same time. I was not the aggressor. First round was a federal HST. Entered the right side of my neck and exited the right side. Second round was a Barnes xtp solid copper that hit my back left lower most rib, did not exit. Third round was another federal HST that hit from the rear and took out my kidney, did not exit. Fourth round was a Barnes xtp solid copper that fractured my sacrum and barely exited just above my pubic bone, it was found in my clothing when the paramedics cut my clothing off. Bullets period will stop someone, hollow points might save lives. I would probably have bled out with fmj. Still have a copper petal in my back and multiple fragments in my neck. Makes for a fun time at the airport, especially with a colostomy bag. Metals and liquids raise a lot of flags for them

    I switched from Federal 124 gr. Punch to Liberty 50 gr. Civil Defense for edc and it makes a HUGE difference in weight; so much more comfortable. Lighter round that's almost twice the speed (1,100 fps vs. 2,100 fps) and 50%-70% more accurate out of my Ruger LC9 based on the groupings I've seen at the practice range. Not sure I'll ever switch back but I do still use 147 grain Federal HST for in-home defense with a 9mm. I know a lot of people like the Hornady Critical defense/Duty but I've ever only liked it in .357 Mag for my 6" Taurus revolver. Not much of a fan of their flex-tip in other calibers.

      I've noted that the multi-fabric test is more difficult to pass than the 4 layers of denim test. Paul Harrell uses the "New and Improved High Tech Fleece Bullet Stop", showing you just how well clothing can stop a bullet. Living here in MinneSnowta, where people wear multiple layers of clothing in the winter, makes me choose cartridges more carefully. Almost any JHP will expand properly when your attacker is naked. Put a few layers of clothing on the person and the bullet might not expand properly. Especially if you have a short barreled pistol like my P365 with a 3.1" barrel.

      @@pseudonym5872 This 365 Ammo has poor expansion after going through denim. I suspect that Sig is using the identical V-Crown bullet that they use in their regular Elite performance ammo. Paul Harrell demonstrated the 365 ammo has a lower muzzle velocity than the Elite performance ammo. The 365 muzzle velocity is just too slow for the bullet to reliable expand. Here is a guy with a YT video demonstrating the poor expansion: "SIG 365 9mm Ammo Review -Great Expansion But I Still Won't Carry It for Self Defense - Denim Failure" by mixup98 - Jul 30, 2022.

      I like tools and targets videos but I think he uses too much fabric think about it in the summertime most people are wearing t-shirts or a light shirt, now in the wintertime people are going to be wearing heavier clothing then it makes sense to see what your bullet will do then.

    The federal, like the hornady took too long to dump the majority of its energy based on the temporal cavity.

    All of my mags for my defensive tools (smallest mag is 15 rounds thank you very much. I’m looking at you NY and California) are packed full of +p 124 grain Gold Dots and +p 124 grain Federal HST’s. I’m sure there are other great rounds, but out of all the tests I’ve seen I’ve never been swayed to change. Old habits die hard as well. Gold Dots were always my favorite, but lately, the HST’s have ever so slightly edged out the Gold Dots for me. Both of them don’t care nothing about a heavy clothing too! That’s the real test.

    Unfortunately, mediocre old tech HP's usually expand in BARE gel. FBI standard is 12 to 18" penetration, but they tst thru 2 layers denim, some fleece & a couple T-shirts. Wish you tested similarly, just 2 layers denim is a valid tst, 4 layers much tougher. Using short bbl pistol is the ultimate tst to see which ammo really shines.
    Tip: look at Defiance 9mm 115 TCX

  • @markymark9961
    @markymark9961 Рік тому +1

    Thanks. I would not carry Federal Hydashok. Old technology that has been eclipsed by many more modern bullet designs. Bonded bullets by virtue of the copper jacket being bonded to the lead projectile at the molecular level will typically exhibit greater penetration and less expansion in bare gelatin testing. I carry a Sig P365 and since it has a shot barrel which reduces velocity, compensate for that shortcoming by carrying Winchester bonded 124 +p rounds. Many tests indicate 124 grain as the minimum desirable bullet weight with the exception of solid copper bullets such as Corbin. I prefer bonded bullets simply because i don’t know what barriers i may encounter, and shooting at someone with heavy clothing and at oblique angels, along with bone structure may well require penetration that seems deep in bare jelly. As a law enforcement firearms trainer who has access to many different testing reports and conducted testing, as well, that is my opinion. I do like the research on this subject conducted by Drs. Martin Fackler, known as the father of modern wound ballistics, and Gary Roberts. It is an interesting read and available on the internet.
