Some pretty cool stuff happening in ammo as they switch from quantity to innovation.

DenmanShooter:
That is pretty cool.  But your don't shoot window expands pretty far.  I'd be afraid of that shrapnel going in unpredictable places.

+p, high velocity, light weight fragmenting hollow points.

farmerbob:
I believe this is what must be done when you go lead free to make an effective self defense round.

Is this a result of the tree huggers?  ::)

JTH:
I'm hoping this is meant as humor (the original post) because the RIP ammo got released quite a long time ago, to lots of overblown media attention---after which people who actually understood ballistics got ahold of it, tested it, and pretty much came to the conclusion people expected:  This stuff is pure gimmick ammo that not only doesn't do what it says, but will be less effective than even poorly-performing HP ammo.

Odd that the "Patriot Newswire" didn't pick that up until now.  The original media blurb (which was copied everywhere, proving that most places will print whatever you send them---one of the indicators of the nonsense was that everyone's "article" had the exact same wording) came out months ago.  (Matter of fact, it came out in Jan 2014---with the exact same wording and nonsense.  I'm thinking the Patriot Newswire copied the 11-month-old media blurb.  Ex:  http://thelibertydigest.com/2014/01/24/the-new-ammunition-that-has-gun-owners-drooling/  )

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure you can find some old threads here on the forum talking about this stuff---and how poorly it actually performs.
