I'm not judging the new round, just saying that with so many good premium JHP self-defense rounds available already the Hydra-Shok will have to be a real improvement for me to purchase any.
Is the 15" penetration in calibrated ballistics gel repeatable enough to demonstrate a decided advantage over XTP? Or Gold Dot, HST, and Golden Saber. These rounds often show similar penetration in calibrated tests.
Maybe we'll see other premium round prices drop if there's a mad rush to the new Federal line. I hope so.
