Me also. Cast lead works great on paper indoors.

Agreed. I carry CORBON POWRBALL. I had seen their advertisements and decided to test them myself. I used a plastic trash can filled with nothing but water. When I recovered the slug it had expanded to twice its original diameter and the copper sheath was totally stripped from the lead slug. The copper sheath was like razor blades.

The target trash can was no more than 12 inches thick. It did not exit the trash can. This means that the total energy of the 9mm slug was delivered to the target which means knock down power. Any energy out the backside of the target is wasted. Powrball is good stuff. It will not penetrate a "bullet proof" vest but it will take down a bad guy without one. Even if the bad guy is wearing a vest, multiple rounds will knock him down. 467 foot lbs of energy delivered multiple times will knock you down, not kill you but knock you down. At that point the bad guy is at your mercy.
