the SXT was 9mm...guessing the grains...124 vs 147?????
There has been some chatter about the new cor bon round, all copper, reliable expansion but I have not dealt with any patients yet shot with one.
Based on my experience, SXT, golden sabre, gold dots have all expanded in the bodies I have dealt with. Note: this is not scientific: I haven't seen 100 of each round so possibly the next one won't expand.
Now if you want to get into LeMas issues........that has been 100% reliable in tissue so far (animal).
