And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Expensive or not, run a few (5+) boxes ( Self Defense is often 20/box ) thru the weapons you are depending upon. Many guns will run anything. Many are fickle.
Back when Cobb Armory was going under I bought a keg of 9mm and .45 Federal Hydra-shok bullets. I still have a couple thousand 9mm and maybe 600 of the 45 that need to be loaded. It may not have as distinct "flower" but it does expand nicely.

But what are the brands/calibers? I'm guessing the top left is a generic 45 hardball. What about the rest?
ReplyDeleteGood question and I'd like to know as well.
Delete9 mm unless I am mis-looking.
casings are not chubby enough to be .45, IMHO. My fav in .45 is the winchester silver tip.
DeleteThat is what is loaded in a few mags in the nightstand (with one in the gun, of course).

ReplyDeleteThanks. That's helpful.
DeleteHmmm. The Blazer, . . . does nothing?
DeleteI’m using Gold Dots in my .40.
ReplyDeleteThe moment I found out my SIL had been carrying FMJs in her .380 I had to dig thru my ammo pile to find her HP. Save the FMJ for the range.

ReplyDeleteThat Blazer round is labeled FMJ, which stands for Full Metal Jacket. It is designed specifically not to expand, per the Geneva Convention, etc.
ReplyDeleteWinchester is the clear and obvious winner...
ReplyDeleteThe bullet on the top left might be preferrable (if at all) since it will most likely enter and exit without taking lots of tissue with it.

ReplyDeleteI wonder what the medical term is for someone who changes carry weapons on a daily basis???
DeleteLOL!!!
If in doubt, do a mag dump. Just like the cops do. After 15 rounds or so, it doesn't really matter what bullets you used.
