Fragmenting ammo

[Sam1]

Found this stuff at the show today, I'm not normally a fan of fragmenting ammo of any sort, but this stuff looks legit.  Have the paper downstairs (will post specs later) but it is a .45 shot from a 2" barrel (XDS), they put 7 or 8 shots into the gel and every shot had about a 2-3" spread on the 4 fragmenting petals between 3-5" deep then the slugs went perfectly straight 12-14" deep.  It was definitely impressive from a consistency viewpoint.

 

They also shot some expanding ammo in from the opposite side of the block, looked good for being shot from a short barrel, but nothing spectacular (you can see a few of the rounds near the fragments in this pic).

That looks like the RIP ammo

Nah that RIP stuff is garbage. The paperwork says it's from Ithaca  www.ithacagun.com  so it's from a respectable company.

Looks like they are copying R.I.P. ammo but with less petals. Guess that is to avoid a lawsuit.
