Does anyone know anything about this ammo, I beleive it was available in the '80's and was the Black Talon of its day, but beyond that I come up empty. Any info appreciated.

"devastators" as I recall were used to by John Hinkley to shoot President Reagan. They were "explosive" bullets and sold in small quantities maybe 10? in a large soft foam box (I recall that from TV, when they discussed the "lethal bullets" Hinkley used) Also recall that Hinkley's gun was a 22 lr revolver.

I'm not sure if this is the same ammo but:


(I stand corrected Frank's Center sells it 1-800-666-9190)its sells for about $40 for 30 rounds (if I read the ad right)

Actually I remember an adverisement for them only a couple of years ago. It was one of those really small ads near the back or in the corner of the magazine. It may have just been some independent guy trying to get rid of his stash though... who knows. Either way, there's better ammunition out there today.
