ammo

There is a lot of info on ammo so I'd like to add my 2cents. No matter the brand it can be reviewed by 1- expansion
2- penetration in ballistic gel (12-14") recommended!

What's your point? Compared to what?

Depends on the usage. Target? SD?

Right now if memory serves FOR SELF-DEFENSE AMMO you want ideally at least 10-12 inches of penetration in ballistic gel, but not a whole lot more than that due to over-penetration dangers. Expansion is nice but can not be counted on and is very much secondary to shot placement. If you are dealing with target ammo or defense against non-bipeds the criteria shifts considerably.

I don't know, I thinking I would put reliability as #1 because a gun jamming can get you killed. Then #2 would be accuracy because all the other stuff means nothing unless you hit what you shoot at.
