I found this on Tactical forums thought I might shed some light on the current "power ball" and federal expanding full metal jacket discussions.

While an intriguing idea, in all the independent testing I have seen to date, the EFMJ has unfortunately exhibited inconsistent terminal performance. In no case, has an EFMJ performed as well as the better JHP’s in each caliber.

Unfortunately, all expanding bullets can fail to expand. It's one reason I like the 45acp for SD/CCW. If it fails to expand, it's still punching 45cal holes in & hopefully out.

I could see it being very useful in firearms that don't like to feed JHPs. Such as some 1911s or the such.

I've always kept my eyes open for these, but have NEVER seen them in stores or at gun shows (besides pow-r-ball... does that count as EFMJ?).
