I would say that dramatic deceleration can contribute to wounding but if I have the choice between an ugly superficial wound and an unimpressive but deep wound, I'll take the one that goes deep enough to hit vital orgasms every time.

In addition to its role as a modern day handy, dandy Gallagher sledge-o-matic; it would make a very effective varmint round. :))

Nice. I hope he can still turn out a test every now and then.

Interesting to see this video today, last night while thumbing through a back issue of Shooting Times, one of the writers was discussing his time with Speer and how they had to change their loadings to meet the "Eurospec" guns that had been adopted by the US Law Enforcement. Up until that point, US Ammo manufacturers soft loaded the rounds. Not only on powder, but also in the dimensional sizing of the bullets themselves. American manufacturers where building to the small side of the SAAMI specs where as the Euro market was building to the Large size of the SAAMI specs, not just in the barrels with Groove diameter and chambers but also for the powder loadings. The US market ammo was so underloaded that the Eurospec firearms were having FTF/FTE issues. This would be about the time that the +P and +P+ craze was just starting in the US. I am thinking that what the US Ammo manufacturers were loading as +P were actually standard pressure loadings in Europe. Fast forward to today, almost 2 decades later and the Standard Loadings are only slightly slower than +P loadings, and proving quite effective.

heh...Someone misunderstood the LeHigh Defense round "I am not sure what effect this would have on a person"

It is designed as a Hunting round. What we want for Hunting, is not always what we want for Personal Defense  :P

That 55gr psp Fiocci was actually pretty impressive.  I'd heard good things about it before and picked up some when I came across it couple of months ago. 

Raggedyman's test suggests it might very likely be a good self defense and light game hunting round.
