Has anyone tested this round and what if any results where obtained? Does anyone know where I could find ballistic information concerning this round for the 45acp?
Has anyone heard of a BG being shoot with this round and what the result where?
I am very interested in this round and any information concerning this round is appreciated.

This has good ballistic results and is one of the better rounds available. See:

for ballistics on 9mm.

The member, Fraggle, who did the test the last post refers to doesn't seem to like the PowR'Ball ammo. Check post #79 by him on this thread, which is the original thread that he first introduced the frag110 site:

Self Defense - 9x19mm Luger Pistol Cartridges

Ballistics aside, here's one thing I'll say about PowR'Ball...I had a Ruger P89 that would not feed HP's at all. They always caught on the feed ramp. I took it to a gunsmith and he said it was a design flaw and that the cause was the short feed ramp. I wish the PowR'Balls were around back then because I know they would have fed fine. And I wouldn't have traded the P89 for $200 credit which I used for bow-hunting supplies.

Today all I carry is Federal 124 grain HST +p. I love them, they're really awesome rounds.

EDIT: sorry, thought this was about 9mm
