Ammunition Question

[The Night Rider]

Is this safe to use in my Echelon 4.5F?

What do you mean by safe? I mean it won't blow up the gun if that's what you're asking. And if it does that would be a huge anomaly.

What do you mean by safe?

I tried that once and screwed up even more.

Where do you people Live? I'm assuming WV stands for West Vladikavkaz. 8777777777777777777777777777777777777777l/ (thats what the cat thinks. he felt that his opinion mattered while I got another cup of coffee). We live in Maine and if you're not familiar with the weather it occasionally gets a bit brisk here. I know for a fact that .22lr will sail through the hair and hide of a moose. 9mm, 38spl, 380, etc. not penetrating winter clothing is way down on my list of concerns.
By all means now bring on the horror stories and outlying examples proving I'm wrong.

West Virginia, c'mon. I like the sense of humor and glad to hear you don't have to worry about robbery by dope fiends in a parking garage after work though.

To end the argument just do a head shot--problem solved.

I like the way you think...

Guess u know more than the scientists and phd's at Hornady and every other manufacturer on the planet lol .

You may have never thought about the effects of fabric and clothing on the performance of ammo. But clothing — especially heavy clothing —has a lot to do with how the bullet expands upon impact. Conventional hollow point bullets often experience tip clogging as the bullet passes through light and heavy clothing, which diminishes expansion and causes unreliable bullet performance.

This. My reasoning for presenting the question. I go with facts and experience, not just opinions. I'm not here to argue points but to tap into the real world knowledge base that I'm sure is on the forum. Common sense and curiosity brought this question to mind, so I came here to present it.
