That's the thing with those Corbon JHPs. Excellent velocity. Excellent energy. (Would NO DOUBT be effective). You just have to deal with the thing EXPLODING like a grenade.
@@MrLedFarmer0331 Thanks for the reply. I was thinking he had a gun explode when using the ammo. I shot it through my Glock 19x and M9A4 and I am very pleased so far.
I've always heard that the old cor bon has had excellent street cred with certain departments, a really potent round, especially the all copper DPX that uses the Barnes bullet. This looks just like a Ranger T, or actually almost identical to the IMI 115gr JHP that I got from Midwayusa. It's a pretty common JHP design I've seen many times but it needs a lot of velocity to perform well and it looks like Cor bon loaded it hot! Good test!
Thanks for this update I had no idea they changed their bullet. I will likely avoid them, I much preferred the Sierra Sportsmaster they used to use VS this random whatever JHP that looks exactly like the cheapest bulk .355” JHP you can buy from Everglades Ammo.
Use what you like for sure. I heard from someone else on this comment chain that they ordered the same ammo around the same time and it was what they normally load. I am more about what works and testing it. I see no major issue here but like I said, choose what works for you and be sure to test it =)
Ballistic gelletin is fine to control variables, but humans are not consistent like ballistic gelletin. We are tissue as soft and gossamer like lung tissue, to tough muscle fiber like the heart and quadriceps, to hard, dense bone material. No human behaves or is built like gelletin. The chicken test is much more valid test with different muscle fibers, bo e and skin than a controlled medium like ballistic gelletin. I would hate to see the results of a wound channel in a human if the Corbon could devastate the chicken like that. I have a bunch of early 1990s CorBon, 115 grain +P and 124 grain +P. It is hotter than current +P loads from the major manufacturers and equal to boutique manufacturers like Atomic or Grizzly. Hot stuff.
I carry 124g & 147g standard P Federal HST and 124g +P Speer Gold Dot. Proven performance & reliability with both. I'd like to see more testing on these. Some jelly tests to show relative penetration depth on these would be awesome. 3-4 chickens stacked/held together wearing a t-shirt & hoodie would suffice for a better test. Water stops deform HP inaccurately. Curious what a chronograph would read these at with a 3 - 3.5 - 4" barrel.
@@fetti4real I do too. I just got a ballistic gel block recently, perhaps I will test it if no one else has =) thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
@@MrLedFarmer0331 I'm a retired federal agent. I served from 79-86 MOS 0211 human intelligence specialist. 3rd Bn I Co " insane India" Parris Island. My agency used the federal 115 grain +p+ to great extent with satisfactory results. Some of our shootings were one shot stops. I tell people with the 9 mm it is a speed that you're after since the diameter is very close to the 357 Magnum technically .357/9.07mm It's the speed that made it a better. Stopper than the 38 special which is the same diameter.

What do you mean exlpoding? I just picked up some and have yet to shoot it.
@@rustyshackleford4514 he just means it dumps energy very fast and that causes a large temporary cavity. "Explosive expansion"

When Corbon says +P, they mean it! :)
I run the old style Corbon 115 gr in my G26. Potent stuff.
Corbon sure does make some punchy stuff!
Yup me too dpx
@@MrLedFarmer0331 oh yea they do!
ever tried the 125 gr +p?
Used it in .40 years ago..man!!!
This stuff is the closest 9mm round comparable to my cherished 357-sig Winchester Ranger bonded 125gr edc in my G32.
Glad I found your channel, I subscribed. Bullet separation means nill. EXCELLENT VIDEO.
Thanks!

I think they change every now and then because I have some from 2 years ago and they are flatter and look more cool.
Tested these in 125 grain .. they performed but that jacket was history but the lead expanded as it should .., 15 plus inches of penetration
Good video. I searched a few month ago and could not find anything on the new bullet design. I carry the 125Gr. version rated at 1,250 fps.
Nice. I need to get me another 9mm handgun soon.
get the springfield hellcat pro
i got some corbon in .380 a month ago and the bullet looks like a hornady xtp.
Probably. I don't think CorBon makes all their own components, but buy cases, primers powder, and bullets to makentheir own.
@@ms.annthrope415 these days, id have to believe so. they're probably using whatever bullet they can get reasonably priced. powder. all components.
Blew the lungs right out of that chicken!

Yeah, if I ever have the cash for that, you will be the first to see it!
How does terminal damage compare to an HST round?
From the looks of the chicken, it was very close.
@@MrLedFarmer0331Great test! Makes me wonder how their 125+p performs
@@fetti4real I do too. I just got a ballistic gel block recently, perhaps I will test it if no one else has =) thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

Hst is much much better

@@therond.patron4959 Thank you for your service and for your valuable comment. Is the federal ammo you described restricted to law-enforcement use?
@@stevedyer5902 No sir, if you can find it. Federal 115gr +P+ item # 9BPLE "9mm Border Patrol Law Enforcement"
Bullet design isn't the thing with Corbon. It's their suck ass quality control that kills their products for me.
Do you have specific examples?
