The Corbon 70gr Powerball has a filled nose so it will feed every time. Looks like pretty awesome ammo for carry. Little expensive to just shoot up on range. Does anyone here carry or shoot the Corbon round? Would like to find out if it good for the P64.

Re: Corbon Powerball 70gr
LOL, I carry/carried Powerball in all of my 9x18 guns and S&B FMJ in my spare mags. Functioned perfectly in my P64/P83 before I sold them. Clicked on this hoping to find some ballistic reports or gel test results. .380 version looked pretty good.
Re: Corbon Powerball 70gr
May have to go to range and chronongraph some after it gets a little cooler. As of today we have had 51 days of over 100 degrees, a record 1936 was last time this happened. I am not tough enough to handle the sun. The troops of ours in Irag are amazing to handle that kind of heat with all that equipment on. Praise to god we have that kind of people in our military.

12.5 inches of penetration from a .380 is pretty amazing.
