I would really like to see some tests done with a 380 acp think you could accomidate.

[tnoutdoors9]

@lcbrmy

That could happen some day, but I would need to have one here fulltime. I've looked at the Ruger, but there are some other guns I want to add first. Planning to add .38 Special tests in 2011.

Tell me real fast if you can...How/what's the deal with hydroshoks over regular hollowpoints?

[tnoutdoors9]

@str8jacket3044

Trying to read the question correctly.....choosing Hydroshoks over other JHP's, not choosing, etc.?

[ghostrider1krr]

In your video you referenced the short barrel version as 950fps. This velocity was based upon a 3 1/2 " barrel vs a 4" barrel, hence the difference. It's not that the SB version is downloaded, per se.

@ ghostrider1krr

Ok, thanks. So, the bullet is different, not the velocity? I ask because someone has offered to send ammo for testing.

@tnoutdoors9 I been watching all your videos man so how you get the news paper in the gallon?

[serekithegreat]

Have you tested Federal Hydra Shok ammo in .40 yet ? I'm anxious to know what the terminal ballistics are in this particular ammunition. I have both Speer and Federal Hydra Shok. Your videos are 5-star bro.Thanks man.
