Have you any experience with Federal Expanding FMJ ammo?

I bought a box on the recommendation of a shooter friend of mine. I have two “combat ready” clips loaded with it, but at over $1.00 per round they are not range ammo.

I’ve never fired the gun at anything worth a $1.00 round, so I’d be interested in finding out if this is as good a knockdown round as has been advertised.

The post wasn’t to me , but I have done some research on that round and the result was kinda “iffy”. Not enough for me to spend $1.00 per round... This link has some pictures of that round shot through water jugs with other rounds for comparison

A good .45 round with FMJ has a lead center. Some are junk, some are good.
It all depends on the weapon your using and how deeply clean you keep your weapon.
Some barrels don't accept certain types of ammo.

RBCD AMMO STATS

The RBCD ammo is very expensive at $2 per round.
It's not for practice.

The RBCD ammo can penetrate a vehicle door, where as, a Hydroshock or standard .45ammo cannot.
So, any perp hiding behind a Pinto door with a .357 "Owns You" if you carry a .45ACP without RBCD.

Although, you could shoot their foot off and wait for the perp to bleed out.
