Huh, wonder how the heavy golden sabers do.

 

[ARTiger]

Impressive. With those petals bared that thing would be like a 5/8" drill bit flying over 1100 fps. Gonna leave a mark at least.

seems like one of the best results on the 9mm

I'm amazed at the ignorance of people that keep calling the 9 mm the "Europellet".......many gun lover not much real gun knowledge around unfortunately...

Worked better than I figured but I thought this round would move a little faster out the barrel.
