I thought explosive rounds were illegal?

Nope. Can't say that I have. Maybe Dr.'s Tatjana and Brouhaha have some jello laying around...(I like strawberry with fresh banana slices, topped with coolwhip. [:)] )

haven't but would like to see some actual tests of the stuff. Might be on my list of things to buy if it works great.

How much "explosive" do you think will fit inside that tiny .223 bullet?

I'm thinking 45ACP. theres plenty of room when hollowed out.

Maybe they have some Tannerite packed in the cavity. [:D][:D]

I have a hard time accepting this as truth. First off there is no really need for exploding bullets. Second I think it would cause instability problems. Third, I ain't paying a $1.66 per round for .223rem.

Well, the 45ACP would certainly have more room inside than the 5.56mm, but doesn't the 45ACP do fine "as is"?

These are an excellent way to seperate you from your money, though.

A few of these have been tested, and the terminal ballistics weren't impressive.

Devastators were what Hinkley tried on Regan.
Nuff said.

I've seen some so-called exploding .357 rounds before that we took in a drug raid. They were a joke, someone had inverted a small pistol primer into the cavity of a hollowpoint. Whoever sold these made some money off of some idiots with that one.

its not really explosive like tannerite. Its more like the round fragments very rapidly. I had some ond shot one of the rounds. They are loaded kinda hot so be careful.
