    RCBD ammo vs Hydro shock

    Has anyone used RCBD ammo? Is it for Law enforcement only or is it available to the public?

    http://www.migunowners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=71537

    Looks impressive. How does it compare to other Self Defense ammo?

    What is your favorite Self defense loads?

    Ive got a
    Springfield 1911 .45
    Walther P99 .40
    Walther PPK .380

    Looking for good self defense loads for all 3. I will start reloading soon too so whats your favorite bullets and powder for self defense?

    it's about as impressive as a extreme shock ammo; nothing to write home about.

    ok, so the fact that it will piece body armor but not exit flesh is not impressive?

    Yeah you are better of with one of the modern HP rounds than you are with this snake oil stuff!

    I would say one of these. Critical Defense, XTP, Tactical HST, Gold Dots, Ranger T.. there are others as well that I have no personal exsperience with so I will not recomend them.

    The only thing impressive about this ammo is that people believe the BS they spew.

    Unless you're a card carrying mall ninja please step away from the bad ammo.

    I've also heard of the RCB-whatever ammo blowing up from being loaded WAYYY too hot.

    These guys don't even know it is "Hydra-Shok". They call it "Hydroshok" on their front page.

    Snake Oil....
