[QUOTE="MW204, post: 2597757, member: 118876"] While I will not compare myself to the fbi and their testing I have done a lot of testing of different 45acp bullets, but remember this the fbi has changed guns and bullets over the years like I change my underwear, not exactly a good example but you get the idea. btw they're not the only large agency to do so, so I'm not just busting on them. While this video explains what happens inside the human body we all know that bear defenders take a lot of gun with them to defend against a bear or to hunt it, and a lot of those guys use hardcast bullets to get deep penetration. As far as pistol ammo goes I have not found any that stood up to the Speer Gold Dot 45acp in 230 gr. (I'm only talking about 45acp) Through all the test barriers I shot this bullet through I only had it plug up once through 3 - 2"x4" that were spaced 4" apart, the other 4 or 5 brands I tested failed all the time. With that said it's been years since I've done another test as I did back then but for me, I'm still sold on the Speer Gold Dot 45acp 230 gr bullet. This is a recovered bullet out of a water jug but all the bullets I recovered out of the barriers I shot them through looked just like this except for the one that plugged up with wood. I shot another one through the same board in a different place and it opened up, again all others failed most of the tests this bullet performed in. I don't know what else you could ask out of any pistol bullet for self defense. A little off topic but it's worth your time to test some of these if you get your hands on a few of them. [/QUOTE]
