I would also like to mention that while you may be criminally absolved of any wrong doing, you still potentially face civil action. Look at OJ Simpson as an example. Try explaining to a jury in a civil case why you used RIP ammo. You can still be found guilty of wrongful death or even murder in a civil case and thus financially wrecked for life. I would argue civil cases are far worse to endure with the exception that if found guilty you're only facing financial ruin and not the death penalty or life behind bars being Bubb's girlfriend for 40 years. I've also witnessed, first hand, the "precious" syndrome many times. Please keep these videos coming. Your presentation style is so palatable that 30 minutes seems like 10.

I've put almost 1,000 rounds through it and I'm yet to have a malfunction of any kind. As far as I'm concerned, that means it's been every bit as reliable as any gun with a price tag twice as big. I bought a Taurus because I didn't want to spend $400-500 on my first pistol. Had I been willing to spend more, I would've bought an FN FNS 9.

It is funny but a valid point. Back when I only carried factory ammunition I would rarely fire up to a magazine of my carry ammunition to make sure it functioned and hit to the same POI as my practical ammunition. Well I got disappointed because I never did find that cartridge with that bullet weight in that specific load again and it became too precious to shoot up. By then my confidence in my own handloads had gone up and I switched to carrying my own, which in today’s artificially panic stricken society is the only ammunition I can get in any of 4 Pistol calibers I can carry. I do like a lead ball worked up to tightest group I can get from it.

@davidbrady1250

@@308dad8 I never got into reloading. All the shooters in my area do, but all they care about is saving money on brass with no regard for any precision down range. I could see the appeal of learning to make match-grade precision ammo. As far as POI, agreed--when I started out a decade ago, I kept having instructors tell me "practice ammo has the same POI, don't waste your carry ammo at the range." For a novice shooter like me, Paul might have phrased it as "with the groups you're shooting, it won't make enough of a difference to make a difference." But I tend to think a lot like Paul about certain things, however, and I won't carry anything I haven't tested until I can trust it. Only after I went through a couple boxes of carry ammo side by side with my practice ammo was I comfortable believing the POI of my practice ammo. I still run a few carry rounds every range trip just to cycle through my storage about annually. (Well, I used to do that. Then 2020 arrived and now ALL bullets are buscadero ticawwwwwndas, and I don't wanna waste 'em. :-D ) That said, my original comment was just that I could listen to Paul tell silly range stories all day. He could not, in fact, bore me--let alone to tears. :)

Been binge watching your videos since I discovered the channel. I really, really like how you present points. Eloquence and logic, you don't come across as talking down to people.

It goes where I point it and puts holes in things, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg so I have no problems cycling out a magazine of it every time I go to the range; thus my carry ammo is always super fresh, too.

One of these days, he's going to pull a LAW M72 Rocket Launcher out of that pocket. He will have to cut off the inside of the pocket and shove it half way down his pants. Then somebody will say, Hey Paul, is that a rocket launcher in your pocket or you just really glad to see me."

I get the vibe that he may have had a stutter growing up and received speech therapy for it or something along those lines. The “shattner pause” that he talks about is what my step brother does when he has a stutter coming, to mentally kind of reset, and maybe this guy has been using those techniques and word choices long enough that his speech has actually improved to a level thats better than average. I love listening to him talk.

Paul is the voice of reason among the gun channel personalities. Ordinary guns in traditional calibers are reliable, effective and not boring at all. There are so many choices and they get the job done.

Shootingthebull410 does an entire series called “ammo quest” specifically covering this topic in exhaustive depth. The series is 7-8yrs old but still very relevant information and relevant types tested. All from a 3” barrel. I’ll spoil the ending and let you know that anything with HST was a rockstar performer. The final two were HST 124gr standard pressure and that was slightly edged out by a 147gr something something something. Can’t remember because none of my local stores carried it. I think it was the 147gr Winchester Defend PDX1 or something like that. I’m trying to recall what it was without going to watch the episode again. It’s in the “wrap up” video of the series. That said, I settled on the 124gr HST because it’s readily available at ALL of my local shops and big box outdoors shops so I can train with it and buy new rounds when it comes time to rotate my ammo out. It performs well through every test-medium I’ve seen it shot through. It always expands and hits 12-18” in the tests I’ve personally seen and watched here on KZread.

As a 15-year Army instructor, I have to again say, "BRAVISSIMA!" There is a lot of good gun content on KZread, but none better than Paul's. Every one of them is well thought-out and presented and, more importantly, when he does present his opinion, he does an excellent job of explaining how he arrived at that opinion.

I love these very types of videos from Paul. I'm slowly digging back through the older videos, and there is so much to learn from them. I know you apologize for just talking, but I don't mind. I love the way you present things, and from one teacher to another, you do a great job. I wish you didn't feel the need to apologize for the way you do things, but I understand the nature of KZread and internet content. I have never been disappointed at the content you produce and always look forward to your videos.

Hi Paul, I just wanted to thank you for all of your presentations. I love your no non sense approach to any subject you cover. One of my favorites is this hyper ammo presentation, All of your points are well taken. From the many videos I see where you have compared ammo, I find your baseline ammo others are tested against is the Remington green and white box 115 grain JHP and the results from accuracy and meat target are what I wanted. Plus I can target shoot and feel confident in a self defense situation more comfortably. They seem to shoot the best in my gun comparing to other hyper ammo and different weight bullets. Thank you for all you do for the gun and community! Jeff

Paul, you are correct. There are certain hyper ammo’s that I specifically buy for specific purposes, specifically gas checked hardcast flat nose ammo for woods carry in my .40 s&w due to superior penetration to a hollow point. But when it comes to standard HD ammo, I buy the standard 50 round Winchester white box 180 grain JHP’s, they expand just as good as any hyper hollow point and penetrate reliably, they never jam, and cost the same for 50 as the hyper ammo does for 20. And if I’m at the range practicing, I buy inexpensive FMJ’s.

Not going to lie, I know next to nothing about guns and ammo but I've decided it might behoove me to learn and to are myself. I find your videos the most instructive and I appreciate the work you do. Keep the videos coming. Thank you.

Just another excellent, well prepped and cogent presentation from this guy. I'm a Marine from back in the days of the Southeast Asian war games, plus a 20-year badge here on the east coast. I like to think that I know the difference between BS and the real thing, and Paul Harrell is the real thing. I've known how to shoot and handle firearms all my life. Then, a few years ago I went to Front Sight in the Nevada desert to really learn how to handle a firearm. These days, when I want to learn something regarding a particular or specific subject matter, such as this one about hyper ammo, I just look for Paul's presentation on it. He's well-learned, well-spoken, acknowledges counter-points while sticking to his point, and delivers the information in a manner that holds the listener's attention. All of those things about him will keep me coming back.

When you said "precious" as in too precious to waste it with practice, I immediately thought of my Glaser Safety Slugs I purchased in 1990. A few seconds later, you gave that exact ammo as an example of 'too precious'. I still have those 6 blue tipped cartridges in my ammo stores- never once fired. I've always been uncertain of both the terminal performance and legalities of that ammo, and it was too expensive (for me) to practice with!
