    A recent study by Worthmuch University found that people that shoot 40S&W are better looking and enjoy much better sex than people that shoot 9mm.

    Can't find the link this morning.

    I had never really looked at the EFMJs before. Seems like they would penetrate better and retain more mass while expanding than a typical hollow point. Neat stuff. Bet they would be great out of a carbine.

    You learn something even from ridiculous threads like this ;)

    The big thing with the EFMJs was predictable expansion. Since they just flattened instead of having an open tip, they weren't prone to failing to expand when passing through various mediums. They also didn't over penetrate.

    For rifle, we used brown tip- which is a Barnes TSX bonded round. (If you look in the picture I posted, the HK steel mag is full of them)
