Been a mission for me to find an absolute bullet that could fill the role as a reliable SD LOAD. Got my hands on an MP hollow point mold and really like the included pentagon insert. Been shooting for accuracy to find that nail driver. Last trip I got it dialed in to hold 1 to 2" groups out of my custom 1911 at 25 yards. Today was water test. I gathered up a dozen 1 gallon jugs and went to work. I shot and captured 2 of these 45 in the third jugs where they both stopped on the back side puncturing the back of the third jug. Exactly what I'm looking for. I'm only running about 800fps with a 212 to 215g projectile, so these should be very quiet suppressed. Very easy load to shoot to say the least. I'd sand tested these and the mushrooms were very impressive but I didn't get pedals as I'd hoped. Today in water I can say I'm extremely pleased!
No clue the actual BH of this load. I just use range lead mixed at 18lb +/- range pick up lead to 2lbs Lyman #2. I'm old fashioned and just hit a simple cast bullet with a hammer to test haedness.... Lol.
Looking to buy the MP 9mm mold next. If it's anything as good as I'm seeing here it should be a winner as well. The pentagon hollow point is genius.
