DRT ammo?

[dogsoldier]

Specifically the 150 gr. .45ACP loading. Good, bad or.....?

Solution in search of a problem.

What's the advantage of a 150 gr bullet? There must be a reason for them. Speed? The SD & practice ammo I shoot in my .40 cals is heavier - 165 - 180 gr.

I shot a couple of boxes of DRT, but in 9mm (85gr), through a Browning HP. The recoil was almost non-existant, especially when comparred to normal loadings. Accuracy was excellent, and velocity (due to weight) was substantially increased.

In my opinon, a good home defense round for situations where a round that misses its target could penetrate a wall and strike someone on the other side. Being a frangible round, it will eliminate such concerns.

the DRT 150gr Franigible bullet in a gel test entered 4-5" with several small pedals breaking up and the core went on to 11 inches.

Not my cup of tea.

This is, IMHO, one of those really clever ideas that, in actual practice, is not all it is cracked up to be.
