New Federal Guard Dog ammo line

[bigfatdave]

That flat metplat is new, over the older roundnose shape.

Looks like the stuff I've been buying, in different colors. Maybe a bit flatter in front, but the EFMJ I've picked up has a flat tip a bit smaller than a Gold Dot cavity with a "F" on it.

Like this:

BFD, I don't know about 9mm or .45acp, but I believe XM40LP1 165gr .40S&W EFMJ may still be found for $18/50 and makes fine target ammunition that can double for defensive use. My M40 seems to like it quite a bit, so that's what I keep in it.

For my M&P, I practice and carry the exact same round as well, but this from another Federal contract white box (XM40HC, 180gr HST also at $18/50). For whatever reason, my M&P40c greatly prefers 180gr fodder.

So far, .40S&W has been affordable enough for me to skip reloading. I know these days are waning though. I stocked up on both XM40LP1 and XM40HC for just this reason and I'm keeping the brass

Let's try to stay ON TOPIC the Hauge accords have NOTHING TO DO with New Jersey's law.

I thought the topic was the Guard Dog bullets from Federal, not New Jersey law. Strange.

What is the intended purpose/market of said bullets? Does it include locations that restrict/prohibit JHP? Is New Jersey one of these locations?

I was just browsing the new products on Federal's websight and came across what looks like a newer version of their EFMJ line. The new line appears to be an attempt at improving expansion through higher velocity, while keeping over penetration to a minimum.

Has anyone seen anything about this, other than the baslistics charts on Federals webpage? I dont have any experience with the EFMJ bullets, but am always interested in new developments.

Hmm. Velocity, overpenetration, ballistics, experience with the bullet.......NOPE. No NJ law. Besides, he is in Indiana. It seems YOU want it to be about the Laws in NJ but the OP didn't say one thing about the law of any state and how it applies to that round. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.
