Fall and spring are two particularly busy times in my life. Typically, I find myself closing one season out while prepping for an entirely different one at the same time. Then, of course, there is the workload of training and writing that seems to center around fair weather. Put it all together, and I\u2019m continually trying to squeeze an extra few hours into the day. Bucked Up energy drinks and shots go a long way in sealing the deal. Each contains a healthy dose of caffeine combined with a blend of supplements, taurine, and B vitamins designed to keep you alert and focused, not just awake. If I know I\u2019m going to be on the range for a while or just need to work a trigger as fast as possible, I make sure one of these is right beside my ammo. (buckedup.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I tallied the numbers and drew comparisons, I found that all of the rounds left the muzzle at least 100 feet per second faster than advertised. New to 4.6, it was amazing to see how much velocity that extra inch of barrel created. With this info, I\u2019d be very interested in seeing a carbine become available, and even that handgun that never quite made it off the drawing board. Between the accuracy and the lack of recoil, I can see this cartridge following the same trail as 5.7, especially if more guns like the Banshee come out. Who knows, we might even see more .18-caliber cartridges hit the scene as wildcatters start to tinker and engineers consider the next big thing. Overall, products breed products, so needless to say, firearms manufacturers\u2019 response to the recent availability of 4.6x30 ought to be interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third and final load from Fiocchi\u2019s line-up comes from the Defense Dynamics family and, interestingly, is built with a projectile that is more akin to a hunting bullet. Using a classic jacketed soft-point pill, these loads create another tool for the personal defense toolbox and represent the unique properties that lie within high-velocity, lightweight rounds. Typically, the jacketed soft point design is called upon when you want a bullet to expand but first penetrate for a bit. In the case of a thin-skinned target, conventional cartridges loaded with these would pass completely through before they had a chance to expand. Being that the 4.6 runs out of steam rather quickly, this design makes sense again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jumping over to the Hyperformance load, this round is topped with a 38-grain tipped hollow-point bullet made for the self-defense market. Conventional hollow-point projectiles run the risk of clogging with clothing or intermittent barrier material before they reach their intended target. By adding the plastic tip, this ailment is sidestepped as it breaks away easily and allows the cavity to fill with fluid when it hits a liquid medium. This initiates expansion, which in turn stops the bullet and transfers its energy into the target. In my testing, there was no perceivable difference in recoil or report, but groups did open up a fraction of an inch, which is because ballistic efficiency is the typical tradeoff for lethality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, three rounds turned into 40 in a hurry, which may or may not had anything to do with my excitement combined with just a touch of taurine. What can I say? It\u2019s just a fun round to shoot, and the 40-round magazine just entices you to keep going. Accuracy was excellent, better than I could have expected with just an unmagnified aiming point and a sandbag to my name. Under these same conditions, I\u2019d be excited if I punched a 2-inch group with a conventional handgun, so when I turned out one that measured nearly half an inch, I was eager for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
