After posting Sticks pic on a THR thread. I decided to follow Sticks fine example and I did my own tests. Using my XD.45 compact (4 inch barrel) from 15 feet into three one gallon milk jugs. I had 15 jugs for five tests. Every one of the rounds looked identical to the other. HST remains the most consistent expanding & penetrating and most accurate round. After the test I shot up a box for practice. For a total of 588 HST rounds through my XD without a single failure of any kind. 62 rounds are now loaded into my XD mags and 1 box left. So it looks like time to buy more ammo, though Brazer Brass 230 grain shoots enough like the HST to be a excellent practice round.
