I've had that handlebar bag for years. I've got an old Don Parker IWB I bought for my SR9c many years ago. It fits perfectly in the bag and my Shield Plus fits perfectly in the holster. Now, if the Drs would just let me ride again. IMG_20221022_154006062 by TarDevil posted Oct 22, 2022 at 3:45...

I have long heard about the FBI's 12-18" penetration standard for determining an adequate load for self-defense, yet I'm now starting to rethink if this is needed. It seems to be that there are loads that have a great street track record, yet either don't reach 12", or just barely. What are some...

Ammo: Winchester Defender Bonded 180 Grain JHP (Test results from a M&P40C 3.5" Barrel) Gun: Glock 22 (4.49" Barrel) In your opinion, what is the % chance that just 1 shot from .40, through the heart, with THIS SPECIFIC ammo and sized gun, will do the job? No matter how big the person is...

Anybody have a favorite .45ACP load for a Sierra Sig Sauer V-Crown 200gr JHP .451 in a 5" Ruger 1911 or a Taurus Millenium Pro?

Hello All, Like many of you I am running out of supplies with no relief in sight so I'm digging around and trying to conjure up something useful with what is remaining. I have 500 rounds of mixed headstamp 9mm and 1LB of TiteGroup so I prepped and primed the cases with CCI 550 magnum primers...

I have some jhp ammo my dad gave me that he's had sitting around for God only knows how long. I don't plan on shooting it, just pulling to reload. They appear to be winchester black talons or rangers, however they're in brass cases. I've done a lot of looking and can't find either talon or...

Hey guys, I thought I'd ask the question here because everyone has been so good to me on this site. It's the best! Anyway, I've always seen Hornady Xtp bullets and cartridges and Winchester Silvertips(which some say are basically a ballistic tip) in the stores. Here lately I've been seeing(as...

Looking for some good load data on the .50 AE. Bullet being used would be a 350 grain Sierra JHP. Everything else is to be determined pending information received. If there is a reloading book out there for the 50 specifically, I would be interested in buying that.

Are there any gel tests out there that show how deep an unexpanded 9mm Hollow Point will go? Not like the "partially clogged" hollow points in denim tests, but either fully unexpanded (no expansion at all) or bare minimum expansion. I feel this would accurately depict what HP's might do once...

Since New Jersey outlaws Hollow Points, I'm curious as to what they're rate of "over penetration" is , if there is some sort of statistic like that in the first place. Shouldn't it be through the roof? And not only for the PD, but also including the citizens who CCW?

Hi guys, I had a quick question. I was studying the FBI Protocol when it comes to the 10% Ballistic Gel penetration standards, and after digging through multiple websites, I noticed that certain aspects aren't talked about as much, like skin resistance. Do you all no how many inches of gel is...

I know that the FBI Standard for adequate self defense ammo 12-18" of penetration in properly prepared 10% ballistics gel. And from my research, the vast majority of JHP's fall into the 12-14.5" range. I also know that penetration in gel is not the same as in a body, being that I've read that...

Will an ak (7.62x39) with hollow points or soft nose perform comparible with fmj 5.56 and it's fragmentation, while providing more mass? Just currious as I had a discussion over the classic where does each caliber excel discussion yesterday. Also if you have any knowledge with SP or jhp 5.56...

Hi everyone- I have a general question about using a chronograph. I have my loads dialed in and working perfect. I have shot just under 3,000 of the Zeros and just received 2,000 more. I just ordered a chrono and hope to be able to take my reloading to a more exact level. I am thinking my...

I am trying to find load data for 125 Gr. JHP. In reading the Hodgdon loading FAQ I a reading what I believe to be that they are the same and they have load data provided for the 125 Gr. HAP. Are the the same? Can the info for the HAP be used to load a JHP of the same weight? I am using 700X...
