I use Hornady Critical Defense and it will fragment as well. However it would be another case of looking at cosmetics rather than facts.

I did a search and got back this page of images. Looks like all they did was cut down to the mouth of the case.

As I am sure David can attest, there is very little information out there on these topical issues or areas of interests, aside from that provided by people who are, “professional hobbyists,” like Greg Ellifritz:

This is a, “slice,” or quasi-representative example of what one would find in an Ohio suburb. If I did the same in the property room in the rural county in which I patrol, I think the results would be similar.

That said, it worries me that these sorts of advertisements might energize those who are not the firearms community’s friends.

Is anyone studying this and compiling data? FMJ is cheap and I doubt many of the criminal element are connoisseurs of fine ammo. But what do I know.

Years back David, the Glaser Safety Slug and the Magsafe rounds were fairly popular and advocated by some mainstream trainers, like Mas Ayoob. Those were also high cost per round…

I’d imagine most shootings involving boutique ammunition aren’t, “intentional,” meaning the gun and ammo combination was the result of a burglary, robbery or theft, and that’s what happened to be loaded in the gun. I don’t think that there are many professional hoodlums buying it, or seeking it out. But that’s purely speculative on my part.

I would be shocked if it was (m)any. It is not common or cheap ammunition. Are there other fragmenting bullets out there? I don’t know but they would also seem uncommon.

From the point of the bullets being loaded into the magazine to the shooting, to the post mortem. And I definitely want to see what, “little paper clips,” look like on the x-ray, and hear how many of these wounds can be positively attributed to that projectile.
