OOPs, I guess it was TyC.
This is a discussion on RBCD ammo Platinum Plus 60gr./ or Magsafe within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; OOPs, I guess it was TyC....
I have tested rbcd..scam rounds IMO.
The orginal blended metal rbcd rounds were fair but the bait and switch lead versions are very poor in design and mfg. SEE ABOVE links...
Would you care to post your tests?
I shot one at an old piece of stereo equipment and it didn't make it through. It has me doubting the APness of the round, which makes me doubt their other claims.
I absolutely LOATHE the "Box-O-Truth!" As if lining up plastic jugs filled with water in any way approximates the dynamics of tissue with bones and muscles -- either human or animal!I remember when Myth Busters did a show on how well bullets penetrated water and they remotely fired a number of different firearms and calibers into a pool. They found that NOTHING penetrated more than a few inches before breaking up. Not even a .30-06 from a Garand! As far as I'm concerned, the "Box -O-Truth" is a LITTER BOX.

Stick with hollow points. The fragmenting rounds such as RBCD, Glaser, Extreme Shock exc exc look very cool on paper with their high velocities, but it is very very very well known that they do not penetrate adequately. If you want to shoot someone with a whole bunch of fragments try the Taurus Judge.
