This thread has gone silly. How many are currently working for an accredited law enforcement agency that uses wound ballistic work shops with FBI protocol testing to compare ammunition for duty selection and purchase? Of those, how many even participated in a workshop??

If you are not current, or never have, what does it matter, or how does it apply to you, unless you are being shot at by someone who is a current le officer.

About as silly as people bitching and moaning over the current weapons the military selects, when those same people are no longer in the military, or never were.

If you are not, you are free to go out in your back 40, to test whatever you like, however you like, to make a personal choice. You can even base your choice on pictures and words on the ammo box. The development of FBI protocols, the LE work shops, and competition by ammo manufacturers to meet those standards, have indeed been a blessing to the LE community. But those are LE needs and LE standards. Yours likely are not and may vary.
