Super Vel Ammo - both for handgun and rifle
Interested to hear thoughts on the not so long ago ressurected Super Vel's ammo. If I understand correctly, the goal is a lighter bullet at higher velocity. Haven't tried it myself yet. Currently for self defense ammo I have Speer Gold Dot and Federal HST. For .223, it looks like they make an solid-copper hollow point, which sounds interesting.

Re: Super Vel Ammo - both for handgun and rifle
This argument of lighter-faster has gone on forever. You have to see what the projectile does when it gets there. Think about it. Damage caused by a FMJ vrs. a hollow point or SP.
A few years ago I had problems with certain .257 SP bullets opening up at closer ranges. They put a pencil hole through the lungs on a deer. After 100 yards they were fine. Shooters finally are realizing that bullet construction is everything. If you want serious velocity from a hand gun, try a 7.62x25
