FBI dropping Gold Dot G2?

[blues]

My need for high performance ammo isn’t outweighed by my Hebrew sensibilities. As long as it’s affordable (in case lots) flies straight and ignites reliably, I’m happy.

I think you mean "Scottish" sensibilities.

And some of us--like me--can claim they are indeed "Scottish" sensibilities. Although there is a potential difference. If the price is cheap enough, it does not stress me to buy retail . . . .

Oy vey. We need to talk.

(I don't mind either. Must be my mother's side's Sicilian influence. Though they'd probably just steal the stuff regardless of reasonable price. )

Next thing you know we will be hearing that it turns out that shot placement is more important than the precise new wonder bullet one buys.

Go figure.

You know, I’ve worked with them a bunch. Never heard any of them say the ammo was more important than shot placement. But I am glad they test ammo and keep pushing the manufacturers to improve. No other agency has the ability or budget to do that.

True dat.

Oh most definitely. Don’t stop improving because what we have now has been determined to be “good enough”. But some people seem to really get worked up about one load penetrating an extra inch here or getting slightly less deviation there. Bullets do funny things, but you can’t control them once they leave the muzzle. Be the best muzzle virgin bullet manager you can be!

I deny everything and I especially deny that I now have, or ever had, a sense of humor!

To say I am unimpressed with hornadys qc is an understatement. We issue the 135+p critical duty and I believe we are on the third lot of ammo due to various issues in the first two lots. Recent ois's do not inspire confidence either. So as always ymmv

I agree. I understand anecdotes aren't data, but I've never been impressed by a box of Hornady ammo and I've purchased quite a few over the years. I will stick with ATK/Federal. I am very close to switching from 124 +P Gold Dot to 147-grain HST standard pressure purely for works-the-same-few-bucks-cheaper reasons, provided my guns will eat it.

I am doing the same for precisely the same reason. Saving bucks for equal performance is a good thing.

I’ve seen lost of .gov pistol rounds go downrange over the past 20 years and Federal / ATK / Speer have had the most consistent QC and the least issues.
