steve1 5 #181 March 26, 2003 Quotey On the other hand, a .223 Remington round--specifically the Hornady Tactical Application Police (TAP) round, or any other with a poly tip--will discharge almost all of it's energy immediately after contact with a surface. The TAP round will actually come apart most of the time, therefore reducing its energy so much, when whats left of it goes through the next sheet of drywall, it will generally fall to the ground within a few feet. In a gelatin mold test, the 223 TAP performs wonderfully with a huge shock path and excellent wounding potential. reply] I wonder though, if you had an intruder who was built like Haystack Calhoon, and if he were wearing a leather jacket, would this round penetrate enough to do any damage. I know in hunting big game, under penetration can be a big problem. I've seen two antelope that were hit squarely in the shoulder from a 270 (130 grain bullet). Both should have been dead instantly, but the bullet only penetrated a couple inches and blew up on a shoulder blade. They almost got away. I learned not to hit much bone with Nosler Ballistic Tip Bullets. They were too fragile. At least the early versions were, the ones on the market now are more solidly built. But at any rate you have to be very careful with fragile bullets when hunting and I would think the same would be true in self defense situations. They may not get the job done......Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites mnischalke 0 #182 March 26, 2003 Leather or layers will begin expansion, but not cause underpenetration. TAP ammo will actually defeat soft body armor, and still cause enough tissue damage to immobilize or slow an adversary. But again, in an urban environment, the rapid expansion and fragmentation will reduced the risk of overpenetration and ricochets. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhillyKev 0 #184 March 26, 2003 QuoteHollowpoint bullets are designed to expand upon impact with flesh. Hydraulic pressure from the fluids in soft body tissues presses against the internal wall of the hollow cavity, causing the wall to peel backwards around the bullet shank, increasing bullet diameter. (The mechanics of hollowpoint bullet expansion are entirely analogous to cuffing a shirt sleeve.) Bullet expansion acts like a parachute to slow and stop the bullet as it penetrates dense soft tissue. If a hollowpoint bullet is propelled too quickly, it will either overexpand and not penetrate deeply enough, or it will fragment. If the bullet fragments, it defeats the purpose of using an expanding bullet.
