Seems like a waste of money,  fragmentation and shallow penetration are not the way.

Fascinating test.

Seems like the Barrys bullet has no method of controlling expansion, and must be made of dead soft lead. Hyperexpansion like this at such low velocity is ridiculous. 1069fps is subsonic.



Hopefully they return to using Gold Dots. Or really any other projectile (RMR Reloadings MPR would seem much better then this and is a penny more then FMJ.)

Seems like they are just loading the cheapest JHP they can source?
