I do feel ammo matters - a good bit.....as well as placement.

That's a good link to have.


9mm has four loads at 90% or above

357 Mag has two loads at 90% or above

357 Sig has three loads at 90% or above

40 S&W has seven loads at 90% or above

45 ACP has eight loads at 90% or above

Hmmm......






No it's not. Marshall And Sanow's work, or more correctly their conclusions are complete bunk.

Why is it that otherwise reletively intelligent people lose all common sense and critical thinking skills as soon as cartridges and killing come up? 100 pound deer take 150gr Ballistic Tips from a 300mag to the chest and run 100 yards, yet people think ANY pistol chambering is "powerful".


Here's a couple of clues-

ALL pistol chamberings poke holes. Those holes are not as big as the bullet diameter.

There are places and organizations that kill/killed more people before sunup in a single night than all of American LE will combined..... and they did/have done it for 15 years. There were literally only two that used something other than 9mm. Both have/are transitioning to 9mm.



Want some real info on terminal ballistics by someone that actually knows what they are doing?
