Still seems to work very well. This big bodied 8 pointer went crashing down ( collapsed immediately ) when hit at an estimated 15 yard quartering away shot.Dont know about anyone else, but I'm not seeing any evidence on living matter that the old stuff is out dated as far as effective performance.
Pistol was a G22 ( my issue carry) with a 155 weight Hydra Shok.
I have now tested every brand of defensive ammo in every common defensive caliber on live game, with the exception of exotic ammo and newly marketed in the last 5 or so years.
And that's one reason I do it. I take two weeks of vacation every year for deer season, and I always take my limit of 4 deer. Not seen in the pic is a doe, that also went down with a 40 s&w round.
My wife and I enjoy the freezer being well stocked for the winter. We are also canning meat this year. For us a store house of food is more important than a huge cache of ammo.
And you are correct. The performance of ammo on animals that closely approximate the cavity area and organs of a human torso tell us much, much more about how ammo performs under real conditions than gelatin.
Word of advice, I wouldn't go around and shout too much about how the old outdated stuff is still effective and has no problem causing casualties. Big ammo won't like it.
However...he wasn't wearing 4 layers of denim now was he? Makes all the difference you know.
