Great video Doublej, looks like an awesome round, I like his accuracy.  I guess the guy doing the autopsy on the bad guys will have to be the final judge! :chuckle:

One of my main issues with it is that none of those shots look like they're fired through denim, or cloth of any type for that matter.  Those petals look so light, probably about 10 grains each, that they would probably have their amazing trajectory disrupted quite a bit when they meet clothing.  And that's to say nothing about how those petals would penetrate, or not as the case probably is, when they meet bone.  I have a hard time believing many, if any at all, of those petals get through a clothing covered rib cage and penetrate deep enough to do any damage.  On any of the "Impressive" shots through glass or plywood on that video, there looks to be the grand total of about 3" of penetration into the gel.  Like I said, it just looks gimiky

I'll take a box of 100 for my G20

The bulk of the slug is continuing well beyond the pedals flaring out. 

That would jelly the insides of a dangerous animal, if your aim was a bit off one or two pedals might get in the heart or shred the lungs.



I'd like to see more tests not put on by the producers of the ammo.  Wrap a hog in a leather coat and see what it does.

Cool, but they need to post up pictures/videos of what it does to pig flesh/meat for a good analogy for comparison sake.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

CEB Bullets has been producing such bullets and originated the concept of multiple peddle detachment on impact years ago. Puuuuft, their a little late but people will buy into it. Barnes manages, why not this trinket.

If you can find them.  HST's in any caliber are almost impossible to find.
