Has anyone ever got a .25 to expand? If so I would like to see pics please. I am especially talking about the 35 gr. Gold Dots, but any bullet will do. Thanx!!!
Very true. Why would you want to take something that already underpenetrates and get it to penetrate less? That's some right good expansion out of a snubby in the photo above. It would sure hurt, but I want it to go a little deeper than that. What are the penetration figures for an FMJ bullet? That would be an interesting comparrison.If it did, it would penetrate even less.
This is an urban myth and, at any rate, is not supported by any studies I've seen. Besides that, you are shooting center of mass, not at the head.My concern is with ball ammo, which has a tendency to not penetrate the skull if fired other than at a 90 degree angle.

My brother was the target of a home invasion robbery in 1985 (Back before they were trendy) he had his hands tied behind his back, on his knees and was shot muzzle to meat at the base of the back of his skull with a .25, the bullet entered the skin but not his skull, it then slid down the back of his neck and stopped, he laid down and played dead. The doctors left the bullet in because it was in a funky place. The next day he was released with 3 stitches and felt better than I did (I had a real bad hangover when I went to get him from the hospital)
The other person in the house was a quadriplegic that my brother took care of, he was shot 5 times in the face and neck with the same pistol yet lived for another 8 years after the attack, when he died it was because of his other health problems.
So these ".25 stories" may seem like just urban myths to some people, to me they are real.
My .22 pellet rifle does better than that.
This must be in that mysterious place in the Universe called the "Browning Vortex" where the laws of physics are suspended to allow the 25 ACP to do all sorts of anemic things like bouncing off cellophane and falling on the ground once it leaves the barrel of the gun. Why it's been told that you can spit one out after you put it in your mouth and pull the trigger.My .22 pellet rifle does better than that.
