I was at my favorite gun shop today,asking for some 45 ammo,it seems as
I was asking for gold dubloons.My sales man had some Corbons,they did look impressive,with that massive blue plastic plug sticking out of the copper jacket.My question is this has anyone used these rounds before,and what
opinions are there about them,my opinion is that I'd hate to be the one that
knew that the last thing i saw in this world was this massive blue dot coming at me fast fast fast,and not being able to get out of the way.

They are +P right, if so a lot of energy there.
Shot a rotten stump and it blew up, gone.

Sounds like Pow-R-Ball.

Those are very light, as they have a plastic ball where there should be lead. They also fragment violently, so between that and the light weight of the projectile you get very shallow penetration.

If you are ok with that, by all means try them out. I don't like them.
