I just recently bought a few boxes of this ammo from RECOIL GUNWORKS.
From my research on this ammo, people say it's the new and improved Black Talon ammo from the past, less the LUBILOX. I plan on doing some ballistic testing on it, and from the testing I have seen online, it's devastating!
Any input, opinions, and feedback, is greatly appreciated.

Good stuff.
Good luck on your testing. Hopefully it will match or exceed Lucky Gunner's testing.

I will be using 5-1 gallon milk jugs filled with wet newspaper. I will tape 4 layers of denim onto the front of the 1st milk jug.  See link/video below.

I have shot this loading many times.  It was the default loading for many of the Police departments in Alabama and Georgia that I had worked with back in the early 2000s.   I would rate it similar to Federal HST in performance and reliability.

Hopefully you got it for a good price.   I have seen many people buy them for $40+ a box of 50 from local gun shops and get ripped off.   You can usually find them online for $25 a box or less/50 round box .

I can't address its terminal performance, but I've shot some and found it accurate and controllable.

Widely used by law enforcement.  It, along with federal HST are my carry rounds of choice.  I have complete faith in them both

Ya its a personal favorite. Its my carry ammo for when I carry the G23. First two rounds I fired I was actually able to recover and I was more then impressed with the expansion.

The RA9TA (9MM 127grain) is my departments duty ammo.

It's pretty good stuff. I trust it with my life for sure. Expansion is decent also.

Now that's something to hang on your front door right there.

The HSTs are prettier, but I doubt they are any more effective.
Good stuff.
