    .300 Blackout Recipes147gr FMJ Surplus

    Do You Think This .380 Round Is Sufficient For Self-Defense?

    .380 FMJ For Self-Defense?

    What do you think of .380 FMJ, not Hollow Points, for Self-Defense? Do you think it has good enough ballistic properties? More than enough? Not enough? I plan carrying a Glock 42 with a +2 extension, for a total of 9 rounds of .380 Flat-Nose FMJ rounds. .380 FMJ round has a .356" diameter btw.

At various times they are attacked first by a large alligator, and then a crazy mutated bear with a face like a...

    Ak-hollowpoints

    Will an ak (7.62x39) with hollow points or soft nose perform comparible with fmj 5.56 and it's fragmentation, while providing more mass? Just currious as I had a discussion over the classic where does each caliber excel discussion yesterday. Also if you have any knowledge with SP or jhp 5.56...

    .223 Rem Bullet is Best? Soft Point or FMJ

    What is your experience in regards to target accuracy, which bullet performs best? Hornady 55gr Soft Point with Cannulure #2266 Hornady 55gr FMJBT with Cannulure #2267 Or is the difference too small to see at 100 to 200 yards? Lots of good bullet sales this weekend!

    During your time as owners, did you notice if lead .45 bullets were grouping better and were more accurate than fmj .45 bullets?
