Yeah, I'd look forward to those results as well.

Let me say again how much I wish that I lived withing driving distance of some of you folks, because I'd love to help out with the testing, if I could!

Hey LT.

I'm shooting a Kimber Ultra Carry (No CDP here) and using Wilson 47OX. I love the pistol, and have loved everything through it, but out of a box of 20 230gr Speer Gold Dots, 3 of them misfed, where over 100 Hydrashok and other jhps have functioned flawlessly. Two of the misfeeds were easily fixed with a stiff bump to the butt of the slide, but one of them was jammed in there real good.

Maybe some of you bullet "geeks" could tell me if there is a shape difference in the bullets or something.

I did put a couple of boxes of 200gr +P Gold Dots through with no problems, though. Still not sure if the +P makes up for "barrel challenged" pistol. Some say it does, others say it's good for nothing more than creating nuclear fission at the muzzle, though I didn't particularly mind the way they felt to shoot.

I sure wish that I could get those Speers to feed through my Kimber.

I've heard nothing but good things about them.

I've tried Corbon DPX, Winchester Rangers, Speer Gold Dots in 200gr +P and 230gr, and Federal Hydrashoks all in my Kimber, and have had problems with only the Speer 230gr. For some reason my gun really didn't like feeding them. I may have just gotten a bad box, who knows.

I use Federal Hydrashok 230 gr as my carry ammo. They shoot well out of my pistol, and feed at 100% (...so far.)
