Thanks for the reply.
What do you like about the Cor Bons? Recoil and accuracy?
I was looking at this site:
http://stevespages.com/page8f40sw.html over the past few minutes.
And the 180 gr PMC Starfires seem to have the best penetration/expansion combo. It has.792 expansion and 20" penetration, whoa! That's a 10 cubic inch would channel. 2nd in that test would probably go to the 155gr PMC Starfire JHP's with .87" expansion and 14" penetration for 8.3 in^3 wound channel. 3rd is the 155 gr Federal JHP with .786 expansion and 17" penetration for an 8.24 cubic inch wound channel. Granted he was using milk juggs filled with water, hard to saw how accurate.
The complaint I seem to be hearing about the PMC starfire is reliablity...it seems to have problems feeding/ejecting for some reason. I hear the Federal HST is based off the same technology and has similiar ballistics, perhaps I should consider those too.
I know I'm splitting hairs, but I actually find the research interesting.
