Default 45 AUTO BROWNING 230gr X-Point JHP Review



Hello
The 45 AUTO reviews that I did were shot with a Walther PPQ 45 with a polygonal 4**¼ inch barrel.

First I do forensic exam of the ammunition. Next I shoot a group while chronographing. Targets were were set at 15 yards. Chronograph is a Oehler 35P

Then one round of each ammunition brand is shot into a 55 gallon plastic barrel of water. The bullet is then recovered, photographed and then measured for expansion. In cases where the bullet fragments and loses its jacket, a weight is taken with all the recovered material and also a weight taken with just the lead core.
Here is the link to all the photos of the review;

The data sheet;



First time working with this bullet design. Browning doesn't advertise this product as +P but its velocity is definitely in +P territory. This is one of the rare cases where actual chronographed velocity matches exactly with advertised velocity. Accuracy was good enough and acceptable expansion in water. Recoil was on par with any +P 45 auto product I've shot thus far. I would certainly consider this ammo for EDC.
