Thanks BlueFalcon, so the Powerball are good to go then? One of the sites I work at (airport) we have to remove our JHP rounds and replace them with powerball, per airport authority. I have brought up the fact that anything that is lethal is going to penetrate walls, to the airport authority but it just falls on deaf ears, but what should I expect out of a bunch liberal bureaucrats.
No, ball ammo might be a better choice than Powrball. I was just saying it isn't all that bad, compared to Glaser Safety Slugs. According to
some tests by Dr Roberts, it looks like the penetration is a bit short and expansion is ho-hum, but it does very poorly with windshield glass. In some cases ball would be better. In all cases, modern JHP would be better. If you can't carry JHP, Federal's old EFMJ load would probably be the "best" bet. As always, shot placement is primary. Worry about getting your rounds on target.
