Well, it has been a lot of work, but well worth it just to develop the idea. It's nice if you can make a buck also. :) Note that all the business dealings will be in the Manufacturer's hands. Ultimately, I don't know if they'll keep the name, but frankly, for the right price they can call...

Hey dannix. Been a few days... The project got licensed my a manufacturer. Scheduled 2011 production.

Thanks or the inquiry. Updates have been limited because there hasn't been much to report, and I'm really not much for small-talk. Basically, everything we've tested to date has shown what we were intending-a more reliable bullet expansion within tolerances of original bullet design. We're...

Interesting thought... I would have figured someone would have tested that issue by now. Anyone know of any over-penetration tests? I know when I got hit with that .357, it passed through about 9~10" of muscle, and stopped laying on the ground about 6 feet in front of me. (A round that did not...

Some ammo was modified as a live round, some have been removed and re-seated. I resent that comment about the retention pond. There's no mud in it. I keep a clean retention pond thank you very much...

I checked with the tester; he confirmed the measuring standard was the jackets. Although we don't have the video, the jackets that separated stopped just behind the core. Personally, I really don't care too much for un-bonded bullets, but, better than nothing... We would have done high-speed...

For whatever reason, my computer did not advise me of responses in the thread. I'll try to address some very good questions; Yes, the is an identifiable expansion difference noted in the comparison tests. This is/was expected. One of the key aspects of this project, is to determine how...

Hey...I LIKE my retention pond!

This test was good news. The .380 is one of the most popular calibers on the market. Folks who carry for protection must find that 'balance'/compromise of stopping power and convenience of carry. The fact that this test showed good expansion AND an additional 5 inches of penetration may very...

Analysis of .380 ACP Remington Golden Saber 102gr JHP, factory bullet vs. HyperCav I fired one shot of factory ammunition and two shots of HyperCav 3-hole modified bullets. Each shot was fired into a stack of 1-gallon drinking water jugs, and the bullets were recovered. The factory bullet...

New test results Tester shot a new water jug test yesterday. Photos and detailed report soon, but here is some prelim.; Ammunition tested was Remington Golden Saber unbonded .380. Control round expanded as expected, and punctured 2 jugs, and 'barely' into jug #3. HC expanded as...

A very good question... The reason we chose that brand/design, as well as some other, well, 'debatable' performance brands, is for that very reason. I figured if we can take a lower-end bullet design, and make that same bullet more reliable, then it's a given to think what porting would do for...

That's interesting...it was the Hydrashoks performance that started the HC project 10 years ago. FTO was a big problem then.

Nope...never said a word. lol But we did have to get a new one, cause the test board broke. Seems Ironing boards don't cotton to being loaded with 5~6 jugs of water, then hit my that first round. I haven't followed the Blackwater thing too close...sad deal all around though.

Thanks Pharm. Wish I could take credit for all the 'coolness', but really, the bullets are doing all the work...
