This month (December) in "Combat Handguns" there were two articles I found interesting.
<br>
<br>The first starting on page 70 "New Taurus Hex Bullets" gives information such as bullet weight,
<br>muzzle velocity, accuracy and bullet performance that I didn't have when I posted info about this new cartridge concept. Muzzle velocity 1000 fps, bullet weight 185 grains, 411 foot pound muzzle energy.
<br>
<br>The bullet begins upsetting at 650 foot pounds and fully expands at 850 feet per second. The bullet
<br>retains 100% of its bullet weight. The bullet is segmented in six places and opens up like a six petal
<br>flower or six bladed rotating slice and dicer.
<br>
<br>The recoil is relatively mild and the round is accurate.
<br>
<br>The bullet is manufactured by Barnes Bullets, Inc. The powder comes from Hodgdon Powder Company.
<br>The cartridge is assembled by PMC.
<br>
<br>I have shot some of the new ammo. My groups at 35 yards were under 3" and well centered. The
<br>recoil was as reported in CH relatively light.
<br>
<br>Obviously the article is much better crafted than my poor effort. But I have tried to report the high
<br>points.
