What is rbcd ammunition

Barnes Green Frangible is still the top dog. When doing test ballistics test I am a certified gunsmith and what I feared DA's with all TFr's they tend to prematurely expand. From a 9mm to a. Sweaters, Leather Jackets, even T Shirts with a wind breaker can cause this ammo to prematurely open. VERY disapointed it's been advertised as such a great round when shooting a leather jackets you find nothing more than than the round completely fragmented without any penetration of the epidermis.

Now all that said I based my review as a defense ammunition. Now as far as hunting, well placed shots that is through thin skin parts of a white tail such as right behind the front leg of the animal or a direct front shot to the chest will leave a cavity from a RBCD 7.

X39 will put a cavity in the animal in mches in total circumference. So are they the ammo for defense? Absolutely not especially in handgun Rounds. Is it a good hunting round? Make time for it!!! Thank you all. It will get all over your hands.

Hardest thing I ever did was to hand that Browning in. I hope you all never reach that point. Vince - Those that think a cool head and steady hand holding a revolver adds up to an under-armed person are wrong!

I like autos and trust them, but I own far more revolvers than I do autos! For the armed civilian whose lethal contacts are usually over within seconds with a few shots fired, they are the equal of any auto pistol. Also, a wonderful selection of calibers with good bullet weights and still-manageable recoil -. Even the good old. I could not agree with you more.

As a CCW lincensed individual, to tell the truth the gun I have carried most over the last 30 years is my good old Colt Cobra lightweight, six-shot. The caliber is on the bottom edge, but better than a. I actually get to leave my extra ammo in their boxes, rather than put the box in my collection! Of course if you shot a person with these bullets it would fragment, explode, and eviscerate their body into 12 pieces… roll eyes… When they showed one of the cops holding a cartridge during a close up, it was just a clad steel jacket bullet.

The military applications of true blended-metal projectiles, and other emerging bullet technologies, has shown to be promising. The reality for the commercial market however has been dismal…companies as aforementioned using nebulous terms to overinflate the performance of an otherwise unremarkable projectile.

Any ideas why the bullet would be built this way, except for light weight and high velocity. Cheers, Lew. These bullets date from the s and early John Moss While I cannot speak for these two articles, neither of the above publications rates high with me for scholarly content. Thanks guys! You answered my questions and also made the connection to Le Mas!

Much appreicated. Speaking as a writer for the popular gun press, I deeply resemble your comments! Stan P. Previous tests have shown that the most effective ammo must penetrate at least 4 water jugs to reach the 12 inches of penetration into ballistic gelatin that is required by the FBI tests for effective ammunition. The bullet penetrated through one jog and stopped in the second, for around 9 inches into water, or 4. How about the. It penetrated into the second jug and broke into pieces.

Then a round of the. It penetrated 2 jugs with a piece of lead making it into the third jug. Thanks to my friend Aim4myhead for the ammo to test, and thanks to Tman for the water-hauling help. Hit him with one shot in the south tip of his xiphoid process.

He went down very hard.
