I fired the .45 Manstopper bullets today.

I'm super pleased with the performance.
I shot at 10 yards.
Much farther than I would expect to have to shoot in a defensive situation.
The load was 4.0 Red Dot with 235 gr. Hollow Cavity cast bullet in .45 Auto Rim Cases from my Smith and Wesson Model 625 revolver.
It was easy to keep a cylinder full in a 1" square at 10 yards.
I also fired one round into a large pile of dry sand.
Most impressive performance as far as I am concerned.
Here is the recovered bullet :
My alloy was Clip on WWs and some range scrap. I can't ask for much more out of the design than this :
I didn't do a very good job of cleaning the sand particles from the bullet.
The scale shows it weighing slightly more than it did when I fired it.
