45 AUTO FEDERAL +P 230gr HST Review

[RDub]

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;

Here is the data sheet;

As expected I got excellent expansion/weight retention and accuracy.

I've seen this ammunition doing it's job first hand and it is the best available carry ammunition on the market. (IMHO)
