Multiple Impact Bullet asked me to review their ammunition in 45ACP. I have yet to see a ballistic gelatin or clear gelatin test on the ammo, so I said why not?
I realise not a single person, including myself, took this ammo seriously. I wanted to test the MIBullet simply because I love crazy designs. Secretly I was hoping we would get some sort of outstanding performance. Overall it would be wise to steer clear of this ammo, and anyone who endorses it.

This ammo is terrible in every aspect of the word. We fired several rounds off camera and had serious problems hitting steel at close range. I fired some FMJs to make sure the accuracy wasnt my fault. We ended up shooting the clear gel from 7 feet in order to get a decent test.
Even when the MIBullet hit the gel, its performance was abysmal. The first round worked as designed, but left an incredibly small permanent cavity. The center slug penetrated 12in. The second shot brought similar performance, but the center slug penetrated to the 14in mark. Performance isn't this ammo's only downfall.
The MIBullet is one of the most over engineered ammo designs on the market. This ammo is manufactured to work like a controlled bolo round. as the bullet spins, the outside pieces of lead expand in a star fashion. This pattern somehow locks into place (because of physics?) for a short period. It is then supposed to collaspe back in on itself. After testing this ammo we have concluded that this design rarely works. Often times the expanding pieces of lead would bunch together after twenty feet. This brings us to the ammo's biggest issue.
For some reason the ammo is only sold in packs of 50, even though each box contains only TEN rounds! These cartridges are sold for a whopping $3.76 A ROUND!
Obviously avoid this ammo at all costs. I appreciate the folks at MIBullet for sending me the ammo, but I will always give my honest opinion.
