Why not just select one of the tested loadings listed as acceptable in the Ammo FAQ and buy it online in 50 round boxes?

Only advantages appear to be certain expansion with Critical Duty vs virtually certain expansion with good existing rounds through bare gel and clothing, and slight expansion through steel and other tough barriers that sometimes clog or clamp shut other hollowpoints, but it seems that steel is the only barrier that regularly prevents expansion with the current recommended offerings and the CD only smushes out a little, it doesn't peel open or reach full diameter. Downside is inferior expanded diameter under most circumstances without the benefit of extra penetration, and higher price than most bonded bullets.

If this ammo came out in the 80's or 90's it be great. But it is 2012 and with all the negatives with this round especially compared to the Rangers and Gold Dots that are superior and readily available. Pass

Yep, another latest and greatest, and likely more expensive solution to a nonexistant problem.
