I used to fool around shooting b-get. It was fun & educational. Then I read an article tht plastic gallon jugs of water give similar results so I did the water
jug things. And guess what? Results
were very similar.
The downside to water jugs is that you can't tell very well where the expaned bullet stopped in the last jug.
I've only found a very few j.h.p. bullets that did not expand, most were of
foreign make, i.e. PPU .40 cal.
When one could find Win. .40 bonded core at Wally per 50 I bought 4 boxes.
They perfromed every bit as well at the Buck .25 each rounds.
Samo with Remington 230 .45 j.h.p. 100 pack I could buy for $51 bucks per 100 @ Wally back in the old days 2 yrs. ago.
They performed just dandy.
If you have need for j.h.p. in .45 & .40 & find 'em at Wally grab ;em.
They work fine.
Nix on PMC .41 mag 210 h.p. They acted just like harball, penetrating SEVEN
jugs and might still be flying for all I know!
