    what cal do you shoot? if you're shooting a .40 cal and shoot less than 180gr, then you really might as well go back to 9mm....seriously.

    Agreed, I haven't even fired 130... Only things I've seen are 180 and 160 or 65, can't remember...

    It's a .40cal. The thing about 180gr. rounds is that there is so much lead packed in such a small casing that all the bullets arent made exactly identical thus resulting in inconsistant accuracy. The reason I got the 130gr. bullets is because they are highly accurate and fire at a very high rate of speed compaired to a bullet that is 50gr. heavier. Even though I am sacrificing the amount of impact, I have 15 rounds to unload. If it comes down to it, I'll at least slow the person down with the first 5 rounds, then unload the rest into their face.

    BTW, is 180gr. not the largest .40 cal round?

    really don't want to get into the details of this but there's plenty of info out there about the FBI's testing that was done on .40 cal rounds. one of the best you can get is the federal hst 180gr ammo. you can debate all you want but all i'm saying is, the facts are already out there, the rest is up to you
