Hand loads or store bought?

… At the end of the day, I am of the 'better to judged by 12 than buried by 6' mentality. …

Personally, I would rather be acquitted by 12. Judgement can go either way.

I carry 200 gr handloads, cast in my 10 millimeter. I hope to never have to find out the answer to the original posters question. I shoot feral swine on the regular while kicking around the farm.

I’ve seen a lot of shooting victims, some dead, some alive, some effectively stopped, some not. Bullets do BAD things to human beings.

In what capacity, may I ask, did you get the opportunity to see this?
Thanks

The Black Talon Story is a good one. The compassion fascists got very incensed about the black coating of the bullets and the claw-like form of the expanded bullets' mushroomed points. W-W deleted the black coating--the little hooks--and rebranded THE SAME JHP LOADS as 'SXT'--Supreme Expansion Talon. These were happily carried by my shop and many others from about 1994 in 40 S&W and 45 ACP, and may still be getting carried in their present market niche as the Winchester White Box HP loads in those calibers. Same bullet as the SXTs had.

I'm sure that W-W has some new fanciful carry ammo in these calibers that run $1.50-$2.00 per shot. I still carry the WWB JHPs in my 40s and 45s--every one of the expanded bullets I saw at autopsies and trauma rooms looked like ad copy for W-W ammo.

Buddy (retired LEO) still has 4 boxes of Black Talon in 10 MM. Everybody that sees it says they didn't even know they made it 10 mm.

Back in the day I would have been in HOG HEAVEN if I was authorized to carry my S&W 1006 stoked with Black Talon cartridges. Truth to tell, the Silvertip 10mms are right stalwart, too--with a 175 grain STHP that clocks 1225-1240 FPS from my Glock 20SF. Most 180 grain 10mm factory loads run in the 1150 FPS ZIP Code. The STHPs are likely as strong a load as should be used in a Colt 1911 or Glock 20/29. Those old-school Norma-level loads (200 grainers @1200 FPS) were the Colt Breakers. My 1006 would shrug them off and say "Izzat all ya got?" The 10mm loaded to its potential is a BEAST.
