so far my 72 will eat anything and spit it out just fine. but have not fired a lot of hollow pt. stuff thru. my question if you only had one choice and had six rounds and your shot was life or dead,which would it be. please keep it simple for me I am not the sharpest spoon in the knife drawer..al
Right Anj, that is the crux of the matter, isn't it? My answer to myself when I ask this question is what I am trying to accomplish when I pull the trigger;
stop the attacker. (Stop
here for simplicity! ;D)
I find myself slipping that mag of Silver Bear 115gr HPs in when I actually put a P-64 in my pocket and go out into the world of the unknown.
A note to everybody else: I've fired it repeatedly in MY P-64s with no damage whatsoever. However, I do not recommend it for high-volume range practice or plinking.
I like the ballistics on the CorBon PowRBall, also. It's designed to dump everything (energywise) into flesh and bone with high speed and quick expansion. In my opinion that feature makes it more capable of
stopping the aggressor. The 115gr Silver Bear is heavy and fast enough to perform comparably.
I think the Sil Br 94gr HP is a close second, and certainly it is more suitable mechanically for the P-64. Since the PowRBall is so expensive, and since you can't get the Sil Br 115gr on the market anymore, I would carry it if I were to lose my little supply of the 115.
). Then, with better access to the ramp, I took a light dremel cut to the base of the ramp ... rounding it off slightly and in the process removing the ridge that was catching the JHP bullet tips. 45 minutes of careful reshaping, polishing, and cleaning later and all the fussyness was gone ;D ;D ;D ;D
