Thoughts on Remington Green and White Box JHP?Some generalities:
HSTs and Gold Dots work in pretty much every caliber worth carrying.
Some old school bullets work just fine, but have their own niche. Silver tips work in heavy bullets like for .45 Colt loads but are generally trash in light/fast bullets.. Hydra-shoks are the opposite, they work quite well in light/fast and are a good bullet for non-snubby .357 Magnum loads but are trash in slow/heavy like .45 Auto. Little Silver tips don't penetrate enough, slow hydra-shoks are just expensive ball ammo.
Critical Defense is meh. Critical Duty is often biased toward penetration compared to some competitors. If you need to shoot a morbidly obese walrus wearing two leather coats hiding behind an Edsel's door, consider Critical Duty in .357 Magnum from a 4-6" barrel.
Anything fired from a handgun that fragments is probably trash. Anything that's pre-fragmented doubly so.
Anything under .380, forget hollow points.
Look for something that's bonded or otherwise doesn't shed it's jacket, that your gun groups well with at point of aim and doesn't choke on. Put the bullet where it needs to be.
Buy from someone who can provide an exemplar to a crime lab if need be. It'll never be an issue until it's an issue.
Thoughts on Remington Green and White Box JHP?
Thanks one of the factors that is a big influence for me is that around here they are still available and they seem to run through my 1911 with good accuracy and consistently hit the target with little variation from box to box provided I do my part.I don't know of any institutional testing nor do I have any significant number of real world shootings, so I have no basis for thoughts of any value.
That is painting a picture with words right there! Good to have you back in these parts of the Internet BBI.If you need to shoot a morbidly obese walrus wearing two leather coats hiding behind an Edsel's door,
