A good deal of my reading was a compilation of autopsy reports from actual shootings, and the Hydrashoks did well!Paladin wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 7:36 amLike a lot of hollow points, the old hydrashoks tended to plug with denim or other heavy clothing. Once plugged they did not expand normally.crazy2medic wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 9:46 pm When choosing my defensive load I did alot of Reading, at the time of my doing the research their wasn't alot of the current defensive ammo, I believe the "top" ammo used by LE at that time was the Winchester Black Talon, data from actual shootings compiled from both LE and Self Defense use showed that the Federal Hydrashoks had the best expansion and stopping rating, from this I chose the 230gr Hydrashoks, I have yet to read or hear of anything that would justify using a different ammunition!
My opinion!
Modern hollowpoints (i.e. HST) are designed to expand reliably even against heavy clothing. Not sure what the new hydrashok performance is.

When choosing my defensive load I did alot of Reading, at the time of my doing the research their wasn't alot of the current defensive ammo, I believe the "top" ammo used by LE at that time was the Winchester Black Talon, data from actual shootings compiled from both LE and Self Defense use showed that the Federal Hydrashoks had the best expansion and stopping rating, from this I chose the 230gr Hydrashoks, I have yet to read or hear of anything that would justify using a different ammunition!
