Just got a copy of Guns and Ammo which has an article on Norma
ammo, long a favorite of mine. They make the best brass so I am
told, and some really unique ammo.
I am a big long time fan of 45acp for a variety of reasons, most of which center around re loading and the ease of handling the larger rounds.
That said-Norma has a 9mm round, the NXD, 65gr that is fluted so
it causes extreme vortex wounds, detailed in grisly commentary in the article. It has a velocity of 1730 fps, making it have more energy than a 45acp by about 50%.
Norma also has a HP designed to do a lot of damage as well, but I was really amazed by the energy data coming from a 9mm.
Norma makes a 'hexagon' target 45 round which I am always on the lookout for, really good range round, but the 9mm data above
makes me think a 9mm SD is a better choice over 45.
