A while back my ammo of choice was corbon ammo. Why? cause i could find it in all the shops i went to and it had never failed me.
I stopped using it.
Why?
simple.
I ran a backyard ballistic test by firing 10 rounds of corbon 125 grn .357 sig ammo into a garbage can full of water.
i ran the test by standing on a deck about 6 ft from the water, firing strait down into the water.
the results were pretty wild, no uniform mushrooms or even shrooms at all. instead what i got was complete destruction of the bullet. it did it all, fragmentation, jacket seperation a couple rounds simply just turned to dust and small particles of copper.
This aint right, this shouldnt do that.
so now gold dot and win silver tips are my round of choice for my carry pieces.
but, i was at gander mountain the other day and was eyeing the familiar little white box and got to wondering, are these really that bad or was it just the sig round? i never did test fire anyother calibers.
anyone else have any similar experences with corbon, is the stuff good for self defense or is the brand just a lot of high velocity hype?
i may pick up a box of .40, .9mm, .38 special and .45acp and run another similar test to find out, ill wait until it gets warmer though.
