Notes:
The CCI Lawman is from the 1980s it is
was/is known as the "Flying Ashtray" for
it's big cavity and was nominally loaded
to 1,000 FPS . I have one box of 50

The Barnes XPB is a Copper/Zinc alloy
and is more correctly just a HP it's not
jacketed and designed to retain 99%
of it's weight expanding into 6 petals.
CorBon uses it in their DPX line.

COmments ?

I guess you just had a lot of idle time on your hands.

Let me guess you're a 9mm or .357 shooter suffering
from Bore envy? snork.... seriously know what you're
shooting. oh and one correction

The Barnes XPB 225 gr. is loaded in .45 AR - but I'll have some
loaded up in ACP Real Soon Now and see how my 1911 digests it.
