Blended metal bullets

I was wondering if anyone has had any shooting experience with the new blended metal bullets from RBCD Performance? I've read a couple of articles and was wondering if anyone had any comments about them.

Do a search here for RBCD, blended metal, or LeMas.

Heck, just look down the Ammo forum for those topics.

There will be additonal articles published soon which discuss the observed comparative armor and tissue performance between the Le Mas Ltd. BMT APLP ammunition and the current US military and law enforcement duty rounds.

The first picture below documents the effect of a single round 5.56 M-855 impact into the cinder block. The second picture documents the effect of a single round Le Mas Ltd. 9mm CQB impact into cinder block.

I don't recall if the Le Mas Ltd. 9mm CQB impact was fired from a Glock-17 or MP-5 SD. The M-855, M-262, and M193 when fired from a 12.5 inch barrel all showed signifigantly less effect in cinder block than the Le Mas Ltd. CQB 9mm or CQB .45acp handgun rounds.

Hey thanks TR and APLP for the information. I did a search on this site and found a few links. I saw the video of the rounds in action and damn. Once again thanks for the help.

Any recent data out of your new OTM's? I no longer have to worry about CF JAG approval
