I read a Handgunsmag article about the "wicked" 148gr HBWC doing less than 655 ft/s. Heck, my plinking load with 3 gr of Bullseye probably does more than that. The mag's testing showed this swaged, soft lead, HBWC penetrated 30 inches of gel and 24 inches of plywood-gel combo. Sounds like a winner. Have I been wasting my money practicing and carrying expensive factory SD HP ammo that makes me wanna flinch everytime and beats the crap out of my hand? Heck, my plinking load is hard cast DEWC, and if the soft HBWC is "wicked", then my DEWC must be wicked+. Since nobody I know carry plinking WC for SD, what am I missing?
