So I bought a pack out of curiosity (38 Special "Defender").
First let me say their quality control leaves much more to be desired, each round was unique in jacket serrations and epoxy core level (the package admits that there will be a varied amount of epoxy core level because each round is handmade).
I also heard that they use #2 and #3 shot (bigger) instead of the #6 and #12 Glaser Slugs use. I dropped a #6 shot pellet into the hollow point and found it to be much larger in comparison of the shot embedded in the epoxy core (the package also admits that shot size will vary per batch which will also give the shooter slight variations in bullet weight).
I plan to test the two bullets I found to have the most physical variation in the blister pack.
The first one in accordance to the test on the packaging (which is to tape a can of corned beef to a water jug, should be fun).
The second one will be a wetpack test with heavy clothing barrier to see if it will clog (the package says it will not). If it penetrates less than 5.5 inches, Glaser Silver wins.
Anybody have any actual experience with this stuff? Not talking exactly a self defense situation, but just the ammo in general.
