For those that think the 32ACP RBCD 37gr 'Totally Fragmenting Soft Point' or any of their bullets are so great. Note the FPS and penatration .
Thanks to JE223 and the High Road for this information.
Special thanks to JK for sponsoring this test.
Bullet exhibited severe yawing at impact (~ 10 degree angle of obliquity with the impact face) and had a point of impact that was 2 inches left and 2.5 inches lower than the point of aim, at 10 feet. The unsymmetrical appearance of the expanded lead section seems to bear out that the bullet nose hit the gelatin at a significant angle.
