The amo is made by Corbon, and it is called Pow'rBall. Click on the link, select "products" and scroll down to it. http://www.corbon.com/charlie wrote:Has anyone tried an ammo called Powerball? I understand it has a bb or something similiar in the nose. The ads say the bb makes for more reliable feeding as the nose configuration is rounded like hardball.
Also, there is supposed to be another style ammo on the market that has a rounded nose similar to 45 hardball. It too is supposed to be more reliable than hollowpoints. The nose is supposed to collapse into some sort of expanding mode upon impact.
Any comments on the above two rounds?
I have one 1911 (colt defender) that is troublesome and three 1911s (2 fullsize and 1 officer)that function reliably with HPs.
The defender is only reliable with hardball. I've read that the short barrelled 1911s are best loaded with hardball and don't function well with hollowpoints because of a shorter slide cycle.
It's my hope to find something, not too expensive, that has a rounded nose for reliabiity and will expand.
Any feedback is appreciated.
I have heard of it and I would certainly try it for a gun that would not feed HP.
